Just wondered if anyone wanted to share theirs. I just bought this today for £6. It looks new!

I once bought an item for £6 sold it for £750!
Bought a caravan with the £750 had 3 years of good holidays in it then sold it for £1850.
That was £6 well spent

Wow zumo.

I have had some good charity shop handbags most recently a Mulberry and a Balenciaga one.

Mostly I love them for children's books.

Wow zumo, are you going to tell us what you bought for £6, I'm very intrigued!

Well done in those handbag finds. I've heard that mulberry bags can be found, never come across one though!

It was actually a small car boot sale with 10 stalls, now as I am interested in photography I spotted this Tripod and thought that looks good, the bloke had cleared an industrial unit and had all sorts of junk so I bought it little did I know it was over £2000 new

I bought a Nintendo DSi for £1.

There was no power left in the battery and it didn't come with a charger so they had no idea if it worked or not hence only £1. It did work!

I have a collection of Denby mugs and plates, I haven't paid more than 50p for any of them.

I bought a 4'x6' persian style rug for AU$40 (about £25) from a charity shop - it was almost brand new, had a couple of tiny dirty marks on it which really don't show, no wear on the pile at all - new here it would cost around $500, if not more. Very happy with that! Grin

Sorry, not 4'x6'. More like 5'x8'!
