Went to my local bootsale last weekend and got a quecha 3 man pop up £10 .

Well chuffed great condition,they say only used once.I now have a garden camping tent for me and my little man.

What's your bootsale bargain?

I've had loads. I can't help looking out just for camping items! Two weeks ago though a seller had a SunnCamp Handy Tent and a Revolution Outhouse, both only used once £20 for the pair!

Best bargain though has to be Vango Force 10 tent for £4, which I sold on eBay for just over £120. Also got an Electrolux 3-Way chest fridge for £17, which was just dusty and needed a clean and I got a full Trangia cooker for £1.

Trouble is a lot of people don't know the value of what they've got, or in fact what on earth they are selling. They just don't want to go home with what they've brought with them most of the time.

I have felt a bit guilty buying expensive items for so little, but I can live with the guilt!

Fan heater with variable thermostat control and cool air function for £2

my little camping table, with adjustable height legs, great for coffee or kids colouring £2 and everyone asks where i got it from! i love boot sales!

not camping gear but a lovely Radley bag for 50p!!!

Also bought a thermarest self inflating mat for £2 and sold it on ebay for £40. I go to the carboot every week and never see that much camping stuff unfortunately.
