Car boot bargains,they just keep coming.

Went to a car boot this sunday. Julies car boot near Yarmouth. I did a stall to get rid of some stuff but came back with a load more.

I bought a compressor,a spray gun,tyre inflator and an air line. Also some old cast iron seat ends,an old but nice and solid petrol engine compression tester and some odd spanners. The spanners will go up for sale on the web site. I think now ebay seems to have shot itself in the foot again and choked off many small sellers that car boots are now going to be a better place to find the odd bargain. certainly for selling smaller items ebay is no longer as attractive for buyers or sellers as it once was.

Bye bye to Lowestoft

I'm trying to get in touch with all customers,suppliers etc to advise our new address and contact details.
They are posted now on the web site ,we are moving to Gorleston about six miles down the road from Loweestoft.

I'm glad to be leaving Lowestoft.it became virtually impossible to trade there due to the head in the sand attitude of the local council.

Moving stock

I've been wanting to run down the tool business for some time and devote time to other projects. I have literally tons of whitworth,BSF,BA and AF tools to clear out and have been working out the best ways to do so.Ebids auction site is really a waste of time and Ebay is not the force it was,I suppose I could try the 'normal' auction route but without lots of advertising the audience will probably not have the faintest idea of what they're looking at and the prices the tools will fetch wont be much higher than scrap value.To buy some of the really big spanners now would cost a fortune but the demand simply isn't there and people are far more inclined to buy cheap chinese and indian tools than stuff made to a standard and not to a price.
Decisions,decisions.

Another day,another dollar.

A nice sunny day but still cold,I've opened the shop and there are orders to sort out on the computer.There are plenty of boats in the harbour,a few brave souls investigating all Lowestofts delights (that wont take them long) and a chill wind blowing papers and crap up and down the street.The bridge has just gone up creating it's normal jams to allow some diddy yachts to fart and splutter out to sea,the fountains are going so the pavement is nice and slippery and if some old biddy goes base over apex and the bridge is up at least the ambulance crew will get to wave at her.
Welcome to another day on the sunshine coast.
