Diary of an antique market trader

8 & 9th July 06

I decided to spend a little more money at this months auction in Goodrich. Later this month we will be on holiday in France and my chances for seeking out bargains are not many when out there. The french sell very damaged goods and at a much inflatted price. I do find cutlery but that always causes me a problem in the Eurostar customs. This time we are returning from Avignon and I will find out whether they do as many bag searches as in Paris.

Although I bought plents of metal and odd items my favourite purchase is a small bakelite photo stand, found at Ross carboot.. It has a card of the young prince in between the glass. I offered less for it without the card, but the 'hippy' guy selling lnew its value and laughed.

Managed to hunt out the shop in Waterloo Rd. that sell every thing you need to sell. I am finding it hard to keep enough plastic recycle bags and needed to buy some!
