Car boot find of day

I went to a car boot sale in Ford Hampshire UK today Sat 20th May 2017. Good as this one is the only boot sale which does not charge customers an entrance fee. My wife was after a few things, I had my mind on a new pipe.

In this boot sale there are the professional car boot tradesmen and Jo Blogs selling stuff they no longer want.

The thing that always gets to me is the house clearance, someone's life reduced to boxes.

Anyway I was in luck this stall had a wade ceramic pipe holder with a new unsmoked briar pipe, the wanted £20.00 but I only wanted the pipe. I got this bobby dazzler a generic Pipemaster for £5.00.I have seen similar in my local tobacconists for £20 - £25

A good basket pipe, with a valconite mouthpiece. Smoked it today had a great draw. Made my day.

I have found in this climate of austerity they don't negotiate very much with their prices. The best find on pipes was in the same location last year or the previous year. A Peterson harp full bent, silver band for £8.00. He was giving it away. £75 on line and was hardly smoked. I love it, find boot sales better than eBay as you can check the pipe out, and you don't get outbid at the last moment.

Got a half churchwarden, tobacco jar metal type pipe (which fell apart) and a briar which broke on the outside shank, I successfully glued it, all for £8.00. The half churchwarden and pipe jar with a stand which held two pipes in leather slots was what I wanted the rest was a bonus. I hunt down like a dog any pipe stuff.

Last week had to laugh a woman was selling condor tobacco one opened one sealed at £2.00 each more than you could get in ASDA supermarket. Told her, but no sense negotiating.

Today one stall holder wanted £15.00 for a cigar, when I can get 50gm of pipe tobacco for the same price.

Just love bootsales
