Nice one Padi - it amazes me what you find at your car boot sales over there. We have garage sales here, and I never see any watches at them...

Well most of them will close now for the winter,but sometimes you
are lucky but most of the time nothing.The most important thing you must know what you are looking at.Have found 18 century snuff box cost £2 later sold cleaned up for £200,but was worth more a mistake on my part.Various porcelain,and vases,watches old tin toys now very collectible,anything that catches my keen eye.

Thanks Padi. Yeah, just like everything else, it's knowing what you're looking at and what it's really worth! I'm really looking forward to it, among other things.
