bought a flame effect fire and the manual switches did not function. they offered me a big discount which I refused and said I wanted a perfect model. they sent me one and told me to dispose of the other as I saw fit!

BOGOF!

"AN OLD WATCH

xxxxxx DEL BOY"

On that line, was clearing my grandfathers house after he died and came across a box of old watches. Almost threw them in the charity box. Put them on one side, six months later found the box and looked threw, all junk except one, which was a 1920s Gold Rolex Oyster complete with original strap. Didn't make me Del Boys millions, but a very nice earner

we emptied my nans uncles flat after he died, and found he had an allocated shed in the garden, in which we found a 2 year old cb125 (that we sold for about £500) and a 1981 yam xj550 which is now restored and sat in my other uncles garage.

If you like your steaks, try buying a piece of topside and slicing it into steaks. Much better than that rubbish frying stuff and sometimes as good and better than rump!

Especially if they are on a half-price off, like they are at the co-op right now. (other supermarts are available)

A cross trainer (never been used) from a charity shop for £10.... was £100+ new.

The shoes I bough in January... should have been £145.... bought for £25.... and they are fucking lush.

Some Beswick pottery bought from a carboot sale for £2 each.

A few years back I bought a Ralph Lauren handbag from TK Maxx for £15.

There are loads of other things.... I love bargain hunting.
