Car Boot Sale 2022
Thought I'd get this going, the 2021 thread was also in blank canvas.
Today was my first visit of the year, and pretty miserable it was too, unless you're a three year old shopping for soft toys in plastic bags.
Got just two CDs, at 50p each:
Cranberries - No need to Argue, and ZZ Top Greatest Hits. Oh, and a rubber mallet to knock in tent pegs (we no longer have a tent, but the mallet was only 50p).
If I had any doubts that record sellers are increasingly taking the piss, todays car boot put paid to that. This guy was selling Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (with the record trying to fall out of the unglued sleeve, and judging by the vinyl's condition had fallen out several times before) and he wanted £35 He also had a shagged-looking copy of "Master of Reality" for 25 quid, and I know I can buy it new for under 20.
They'd probably not sound too knackered if played on this deck he also had for sale, which was branded "GPO". I didn't know the Post Office had moved into record players, and it didn't look like it would deliver a first class performance.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in
