I went to a boot sale last week and came back with another bloody motorbike...
Its sunday, bought these as a job lot today,
Also with these were 2, tins of Jets, ( Full ) & 2, Tins of Wasp.s Original all in .22,( But with post they are not worth selling )
So !!! A valuation & sale of HW 35 Barrel, ( Bit rusty,) Threaded 1/2 UNF with a good seal, Looks sound,
And the Pellets & tin ( Champion Ballistic ) in .22, It says on the tin, " With a heart of steel " They have a steel ball bearing in the front,
I know there are a number of pellet/tin collectors on the Forum ,
Would like to swap for some of my " Swap/Wanted " Bits,
I am not doing too well with my sales ! Etc, I know they will sell on the " Bay " Ged.

Got a fake rolex today.....well i think its a fake
Came back with a £795 lawnmower and a gt mountainbike for under £200.
Enjoy the Champion ballistic pellets, they had a ball bearing in them designed to be off centre enough to ensure that they were the most innacurate pellets ever marketed, they dont shoot groups just patterns.

I regularly see the "gullers" almost dismantling the cars of new arrivals on the field where I often go ......there is a little gang of regulars that start getting in the back of peoples boots as soon as they stop....and there have been a few "scenes" where the sellers have kicked off big times.....and as you say, people will try and beat down an item which they know is worth £20, and is on sale for say £2....."will you take a quid mate".....I get really annoyed at this, as usually it's the old couple or similar that are having a clear out, and have never done it before, and will probably never come back.......The other ones that make me laugh are the ones that go past the old engineer selling his lifetime collection of Moore and Wright and other quality tools, to rush to the big blue plastic sheet covered in Chinese "20 screwdrivers for a tenner" junk and the like....magpies have got nothing on those wallys
That said, I have been really lucky on more than one occasion, and you never know what is lurking under a table when you turn up....luckily, around here, they still don't worry about de-acts, air weapons etc. and I normally make a beeline for the tired looking series 1 with the big trailer, or similar farmers conveyance, where the goodies normally are!

I had some old dear trying to sell me an old Dutch shotgun... she said it was made in 'Holland and Holland' or something... the old gun looked more brown than blued, so i ignored the confused old girl, kept hold of the 25 quid she wanted, and kept on walking...
