BruceS · 5 July 2005, 12:08 PM

Uncle-AJ · 5 July 2005, 12:09 PM

A few months ago,I picked up a 1933 Clarise Cliff Shaker for a pound.It could be worth £300--£600,well put it this way.A dealer offered me £200 so I would expect it to be worth double what he offered.But with a little bit of
research it could be worth as much as a £1000,they are now quite rare.

Even when I slip into Texan, which is rare. She just thinks we mispronounce everything and can't spell for shite! Of course, she's right

BruceS · 5 July 2005, 10:50 PM

I wish we had boot sales here. Tam says they can be quite fun!

Uncle-AJ · 6 July 2005, 12:02 AM

You would have to have "trunk sales".

padi56 · 6 July 2005, 12:08 AM

No Adrian in America they have garage sales,and they are to big, for the boots of the average UK car.

Uncle-AJ · 6 July 2005, 12:10 AM

Yes but you could not take your garages to an empty field and set up business.

padi56 · 6 July 2005, 12:16 AM

LMAO. good point so thats one up for the British.

Uncle-AJ · 6 July 2005, 12:17 AM

I still think you are taking a chance with that avatar.

BruceS · 6 July 2005, 12:40 AM

but they don't even hold them in a garage anymore. Now they throw all their crap out in the front yard and they call them neighbourhood yard sales. They just don't do anything for me.....

btw, I think Adrian is right about that avatar

dman · 6 July 2005, 04:59 AM

LOL!! They will even sell you the garbage can without emptying the trash at most.

padi56 · 6 July 2005, 08:11 PM

Yes but in garbage or the rubbish,sometimes real treasures can be found.

The trick with garage sales is that if at the end of the sale you have stuff you haven't sold, it usually ends up on the curb that night, free of charge.

I'm going to a garage sale at a local Italian old folks home... hoping to pick up some 1930-40s vintage panerai equipment.

Then again.. monkeys may fly outta my

I've seen some nice pieces at mall antique sales, but they're always priced accordingly, unfortunately.

I wish you luck my friend.
