In my experience of car-booting, you see plenty of these sort of characters. As sellers they are usually driving one of the oldest cars and have a lot of rusty old tools or anything else old, which means it is automatically collectible, of course and hence worth much more then pennies, they insist. You wonder how they make enough to cover the costs of doing at least two sales per week (and they are regulars at the same sales). They are usually older middle-aged men, quite scruffily dressed, don't say much except to moan about how slow sales are (hinting that you won't sell that thing on your stall for £3, so might as well sell it him for 50p). They are always dragging on a the last quarter-inch of a roll-up, desperate to get their last pennies-worth out of this as well. The obvious thought is that if they devoted as much effort to paid employment, they would earn far more per hour than sorting through old tat and standing in a field. However, I believe you would never persuade them of this as their mindset is that they are earning a bit of tax-free money, getting one over on the system and making a bit of money from people more affluent than them. If it makes them happy, good luck to them. I enjoy boot selling - need to do one soon , have been building up a garage-full since March last year! - as it is satisfying being paid for stuff you don't want and my regular sale has friendly buyers (I've almost never had a rude buyer there, unlike some other sales). It is an eye-opener though, to a portion of society who are living on the very edge of it. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmedune Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 7 hours ago, BoD said: Why? Because he is an annoyance, as it kept coming up on my saved searches and it never sells, but he is determined to try and sell it this way, rather than either setting the minimum price he will take or just buy it now. So while he keeps relisting it at 99p with a reserve set to at least £50, remember, it is not just me, but we will keep putting tiny bids in until he gives up and sells it correctly. Or heavens forbid someone actually wants it. But, having followed Hornby 86 for a while now, they seem to sell for between £35 and £45, depending on condition. Others are listed at £50+ but they always seem to get relisted. Of course the Heljen's get listed for a lot more. There are lots of their new 86/0 listed there for more than the RRP, so I assume that most people would just buy it from their regular sellers at RRP or slightly lower. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hodgson Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 There's a lot of stuff in the lot which would sell on ebay for five or ten pounds if broken into smaller lots, so if I were a trader I think I would go for it. And yes there's also a load of tat to go to the tip. But I'm not a trader and I can't be bothered. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
