I find its swings and roundabouts, the very nature of a boot sale means you
just don't know what you'll find. you get a few sellers who always have lego
and its usually quite expensive, but then you get a mother selling stacker
tubs for 1.50 (OK my bin gets pretty full of megabolox during sorting- but
you still get loadsa good stuff)
on the subject of price guides, there has been one dome it's called buy the
brick, but the guy who did it (and its really comprehensive)
got dishertened, lots of lugnetters are against the idea of a price guide
cos it encourages a speculative market.
I brought one though :)
