Just wondered if anyone knows of more boot sales in the north east

Both of these on a sunday

Batleys near chester le street is my usual one but its getting to the point where there are lots of undesirables there, plus its mostly tat
Darlington at the foot ball ground, my first visit today, its smaller than batleys but a nicer place and better stuff there


Andy

Sedgfield race course
Seaham boot sale
Redcar races boot sale

Redacr is a bit far for me,

Sedgefield? is that on every sunday and easy to find?

The seaham one ive never been to but heard ( and forgot ) about it, again any idea exactley where

I was at Darlington the other day as well Andy! Its small but the stuff is decent quality campared to some of the others.

Sedgefield is about ten times as big as Darlington but theres a lot of tat there.

How come you travelled from Newcastle to Darlington its a bit of a mission!

If you plan to go to the Darlington one again we should try and hook up im actually doing a stall there myself in a few weeks time and will have some starwars stuff FS mainly modern stuff like Vintage Original Trilogy Collection but ill inc a bit of proper vintage (nothing special) as well.

With you and Lee it seems i have competition in trying to find any vintage bargains lol

It might be worth hooking up one Sunday to have a mooch around together if anyones up for it?

Cheers Jay

Jay,

yeah im up for that , my local one has went down hill quite quickly over the past 6 weeks or so, i know its a car boot sale but some of the things , and prices are silly, plus there are lots of shiysters kicking about.
I was up early so thought i would have a toby to darlo especially as im now off work for a couple of weeks ,

be nice to see other peeps from off here, more so if there maybe a bit of vintage for sale

Defo Andy

We can use this thread to make some plans in the coming weeks

Jay

the seaham booty is pretty easy to get to Geordie - head along the A19 (south bound), come off at the Seaham turn off (before Dalton Park), then head to the coast road as the botty is on the road between Ryhope and Seaham

it is a big site mate, but not very good for figures - i was there last week looking for pre cert videos, star wars figures and retro computer games and i came home with NOWT

lol

good luck mate

More chance of getting 6 numbers on the lotto, in 10-12 years i only ever seen 2-3 bits show up of any decency

Bit crappy today sorry i missed you Andy somone with me was in a bit of a rush then in sedgfield it chucked it down lol

All i managed to pick up was a AtackTick Scout biker and a Unboxed Endor Forest ranger. Some bloke had a Falcon,Shuttle and TieInterceptor but wanted £300 for them. I really didnt mean to but i laughed in his face by mistake as the falcon was the modern version and the tie looked like it has done 10 rounds with mike Tyson in his ear chewing phase

Lee,

no worries mate, i coudnt even give an eta for darlo as we have to go when my son is ready rather than when we are lol, we had a good look round there as first time my gf has been and only second for me, i picked up a vintage han solo small head in really good nick for a quid

Andy

I cant believe the 1 time i dont go there is vintage there!!

Guys if your going again in the coming weeks let us know on this thread and we can meet up

I willl be there next sunday 8th, gf enjoyed it as i said in an earlier post its a lot better than our local one. I seen a couple of vintage figs but only picked the best one, guess il have to be there for opening time now to try beat the competition

il be there this sunday guys just not sure what time, im working from 8am supposed for couple hours only but may be longer so its gonna be dinner time ish when i land, guess there will be no vintage left by then
