Indeedy but like I said it was my first visit to a boot sale, I was younger and dafter and I didn't "know the ropes"....

I know mate, I've been there and done that, too! :eyebrows:
Marco.
I don't go with the expectation of finding HiFi though they occasionally turn up. Over the last 18 months I picked up a Pioneer PL12D and Technics SL-D202 at prices much lower than ebay. Both ended up working well but were in need of some maintenance. Mainly I am looking for records but have also gone looking specifically for a cassette deck and HiFi VCR and eventually picked something reasonable up.
Different car boot sales seem to have a different character. In one local one it always seems to be the same dealers occupying the same spots selling the same old with no churn. The one I have most success with seems to attract many of the same regular dealers early on but has a lot of sellers arriving quite late and there is churn. For that one the early bird does not get all the worms and arriving a bit later can be beneficial.
Not much today, only three LPs:
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - ‘A Day with Art Blakey 1961 Vol I’ and ‘Vol II’

Verve 2352 080 (1963)
All three absolutely mint condition, both the vinyl and the sleeves. £10 the lot
Nice score Barry.
Thanks Grant. I haven't had much success at 'bootys' recently, so getting £150 worth of LPs for a tenner is not too bad. :)
One seller was selling a load of classical LPs for 50p each. Mostly cello works and pieces for string quartet and quintets. Some nice boxed sets of Beethoven string quartets, but I would have to have gone through them to check for quality, so I passed them by. When I later changed my mind, the seller had packed up and left. My mistake! :doh:
Todays finds , very ltd :(
I have never seen so much sh-t in one day , very disappointing , 90% market traders 10% home sellers :(
Found one Paul Young LP , Other Voices
and
Holst The Plannets Electronically performed by Isro Tomita, RCA Red Seal, Recorded in Japan :)

They are amazingly heavy for their size , will open them up and meter them out , see if anything is open circuit
