<p>[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9492455, member: 15376"]Thanks so much Bosko! I've been very lucky with my recent finds, they seem to be popping up everywhere this summer! I think our UK members could tell you more about the carboot prices than I could honestly, I'm in France and though I've been to charity shops in the uk I've sadly never crossed a car boot's threshold! I have heard some craaazzy prices in the US though, I know of one vintage reseller in Oregon who easily gets 80 bucks for her flips. I lived for a while in Mississippi but again my experience down there was garage sales when I was 5, so I'm not sure what the market was or is like. I would definitely agree you're going to find the best offline bang for your buck at vide greniers/carboots. I live in a rural area of mostly sheep/cow/crop farmers in small villages so its generally a smaller budget sale type place. There are an increasing number of dealers though (though still mostly small-medium range, more than 5 less than 20 kinda deal), and there's always at least 2 older ladies who's starting price is 8+ for their jewelry! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
