DaveDorson Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Yep, that's right, I've decided to brave the world of the autojumble tomorrow. Unit sorted through and a load of spares loaded into the van quite badly and not priced. Those spares include some treasures but mostly stuff that if it doesn't sell will go into the scrap bin at the unit when I get home. If any shitter's fancy a laugh, or making me a derisory offer on my quality* warez, then Stickney Autojumble is the place to be tomorrow. Look for a hanging red T4 with a load of old ford and VW bits scattered around it. Honestly, I'll take offers on any of the shit I have on the day, including some quality retro car stereo bits that I found. Depending on phone signal, I'll be updating as the day progresses tomorrow, with photos of the shit, I mean quality goods I'll be flogging off to the mouth breathers, I mean punters. WCPGW?

rantingYoof Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Best of luck. I would go into this myself with expectations low, perhaps anticipating it turning out like the eBay arseholes thread in real life. I hope, however, many pleasant conversations about automotive tat are had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDorson Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 To be honest if I leave with less than I went with then it's been a worthwhile exercise. There's more on the van too. rantingYoof and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeangel Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Good luck chap, I reckon you'll do better than eBay based on the amount of crap the 'shiters collectively bought (myself included) from the tat stalls at Chumley ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schaefft Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 And I didn't even know these stalls were a thing and therefore completely missed them. You don't happen to have rear bumper trim clips for a Senator B?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not right now, but you never know what'll turn up next month when I start cleaning down the rest of the unit Schaefft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDorson Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 To be fair there's some sellable stuff in that lot, stereos usually sell well enough, and I've got a couple of motorbike helmets that are brand new, as well as some leathers and more modern riding gear that's had little or no use. Hopefully it'll be more than a break even and I'll be able to put a few quid in the workshop biscuit fund strangeangel and djim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDorson Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Well there's a lot less shit in the van than there was this morning. I've had a lovely burger and had many a chod related chat. I'd have spent the weekend doing absolutely fuck all except worrying about money, instead I loaded up a load of the stuff I didn't want and spent £20 of diesel, £5 entry, and a few quid on a bacon double cheese burger with onions and a cup of tea... I've also got £235.00 and some change. Some stuff I could not give away. Some stuff I almost gave away, but non of that stuff was stuff I wanted or had a use for. If you're willing to let people give you £5 for that ford cortina stereo you've had sat around for 12 years, or take £20 for a pair of front beetle wings cos that bloke has the money and you don't want to take them home, there's money to be made out there, and what I expected to be about £50 profit has actually been a very worth while exercise. rantingYoof, JeeExEll, DVee8 and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Better off with an autojumble. She talked me into doing a carboot. Once and only once. In the end she made me sit in the van because i was too snappy with customers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end she made me sit in the van because i was too snappy with customers ? To be fair I was taking offers on everything. I just didn't want to take any of it home. A few bits got loaded into the scrap bins earlier today when I was unloading the van, and I kept things I know I'll make good use of or that I can sell on easily enough at a VW event or something.

Matty Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 All ive got at the moment is one coilover for a golf, a spannie for a lambretta and a tank for a zxr750. Probably not worth tje journey just yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDorson Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Right, all my stuff I still have is sat on the forsale thread I have. Offers on any of it. It's all shit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 4 SP250 engines sat in the container last time I was over there, so he's probably got them somewhere. He can be a bit of a Scarlet Pimpernel at times though.
