Lazy Cow Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Don't sell the electrical leads, nails etc etc!!! You'll just end up buying more over here! I don't know how big a container you're aiming for, but we brought just about every tool my husband (electrician by trade, not that you'd guess from the state of the house!) had and have never regretted it. Some things here are ridiculously expensive, so when I went back for a visit, I brought back ceiling roses etc rather than chocolate! LC in Adelaide so may be different elsewhere, I don't know.

Guest EM&M Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Car boot sales are great, I did first one about 4 weeks ago and made £90 and one couple weeks ago and made £120. I keep throwing things in the garage for next time as I go. Sold some stuff on ebay that I wanted some money back on like buggies etc but all in all boot sales are greatt for getting money on stuff u would other wise throw out. every little helps.
