<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 10293897, member: 79460"]Car boot at Bowlee was poor this morning. I got there late because they changed the opening time to 6:30 from the 8:00am start last week. Found a RCD Antoinette cake plate but they wanted £200 for it. I walked off laughing. That was about it. Waste of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just popped up to Bury and found a box in a shop with random items in it and a price tag of £3 on it. In it were two candlesticks which looked like silver to me and a load of garbage schmultsy kitchen items. </p><p><br /></p><p>I went to the checkout and asked if the price was correct. They had a look inside and apologised because a new volunteer had made a mistake. "Theres a lot of stuff in it" Then started to walk off with the box. "Aren't you selling it at all then? I only want the candlesticks". She asked if £1 was okay and I snapped her hand off. "They're not silver are they?" She said. I replied "Mmmmmmm <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie69" alt=":panda:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />" She seemed to take an hour to till them in and must have picked them up three times to look at them. I was sweating like a sweaty thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seems they aren't too old. 2003 and 'filled silver'. But looking forward to going home and polishing them.. shineeee.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]516613[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]516614[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]516615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]516616[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
