Hello :wave:
We went to an indoor car boot sale at my old secondary school this morning, and I had quite a haul :D

1st Buy
this is the quickest purchase I have ever made. We were close to the front of the que when it opened, and on the 1st stall I noticed this on the table.
I immedietly asked the price, and had the exact note in my pocket which was handed over.

The price was £10!!! and he was an old friend from school, so he packed it up for when I had finished looking round.
And when I went to collect, I didn't realise that it was in its box, and perfect condition too!!! :xmascheer:

2nd Buy
Just a small one, a Romans gladiator due pack. One that I didn't have :)

3rd Buy
This was the most exciting, as it was all in a nice blue plastic box, although what it was exactly couldn't really be seen so I just paid for it and got away quick!

How do you do it Damo! :lol: (I actually typed 'Damno' first by mistake :-[
- slip of the fingers? ;D)
I trawl round charity shops, school fairs everywhere in the area and there's not a single klicky to be found!
Well done once again :hatoff:

Same here! :( Must be something to do with being north of the border, I suspect. ;)
Either there are not as many Playmobil buyers in Scotland, or (and I think this more likely) they hang on to their sets and pass them down to grandkids or other family members, because they appreciate it's real value. :P
(...and the Scots are also selling it on eBay rather than giving it away for a song. ;D)

This is great, Damo! What finds, and at such a great price! It's nice to buy playmobil from people who have no idea what it's worth. ;D

Ah this is fantastic Damo!! and 3123 is an exclusive!!! Really really great!! :)9
Once again I really wish peopel here would sell their items in car boot and garage sales... or charity shops... Oh hold on, now that i think of it, we have no open spaces for car boot sales...not garages in our houses (nor gardens for that matter, in the city at least) and...believe it or not, there are no charity shops... :(
-
That is surreal! I don't know how you do it!
Im so jealous! :lol:
-
Let's face it, Damo is the Guru of car boot and garage sales! I am so glad you don't live in south central Pennsylvania. :lol: Great buys, Damo. ;D

Thanks guys ;D
This is my first 3123, and I must say that it is an incredible set!!!
So much play value, and sooo many Klickies :love:

How do you do it, Damo? Maybe we should all employ you searching out the Playmobil we want! Anyway, another treasure trove to add to the collection. (Those two empty bins won't be empty for long at this rate. :) )

I know I can't help myself :-[
The two bins were full before today, but luckily these new sets have squeezed onto the shelf and the Western bits in a box in the shed so I am happy :)

Thanks :elf:
We don't have many garage sales here in the UK which is a shame :-\ I have been to a few over the years, but of course no luck of finding any Playmo :(
I was lucky to find this indoor boot sale, as the outdoor ones have all closed for the winter months <*)

I will enjoy the Western sets when I have cleaned them :D - they seem to have some sort of battery acid and sticky stuff all over them :uhoh:
I reckon that box of Western buildings would have been destined for the bin, as the stall holder didnt have a clue what it all was (and to be honest the state it was in anyone would have thought it were bin material) but I am well pleased ;D
