Everyone loves a bargain

While most people visit a car boot sale looking for a bargain that will appear on the antiques roadshow, there are lots of other bargains to be found. Just stop looking at the china.

People clearing out garages are fertile ground for the modeller. The photo shows just such a bargain that I nabbed last week. It’s a big reel of 0.5mm copper wire.

50p

How great is that ? Years worth of electrical droppers or even beading wire in the larger scales.

Of course get too much of this stuff and you need to clear out your workshop, which means a trip to the local car boot with your own stuff..
