what's been your best find from a car boot sale?

I must admit to being a car boot nut, What's been your best find? who's bought something for 20p only to find out it's worth hundreds, or thousands??!! I dream about that day!!.

1. I bought a diamond ring for £30 and got it valued at £6,500
2. A complete set of Biggles books! Spiffing, simply wizzard!
3. Not quite thousands, but about ten years ago I bought a genuine Clarice Cliff honey pot at a car boot sale for £1. The value goes up and down according to her popularity but I think its worth about £200. I'm keeping it just in case the value goes through the roof, maybe it'll pay for one of my kids to go to Uni or something!! (I can but hope)
4. pokemon merchandise!
5. I almost sold something that I found out online by chance was a collectors item - which happened to be only a video of a ballet. Lucky no one bought it because its not worth thousands but it is worth about £60 at the moment. I'm never getting rid of it.
6. I bought a bag for £1 and found £10 pounds inside it!
7. my best find was my husband he was free and hes worth more than all the money in the world to me
8. A SD card for my camera. 512 mb. for 10p... Couldn't believe it. Well pleased and it was worth around 15 pounds... Apparently their camera broke and wanted to get rid of it ? The feeling of getting a bargain and without ripping anyone off is fantastic...
9. my car once I got all the cr*p out of my boot
10. Don't know about best finds, but here's the worst, i did buy a really spooky looking doll once for 50p, and as we left i crashed the car costing £1500. Needless to say I've still got it. Beware car boot nuts....
11. Like Danny, I bought a diamond ring for £1. and it was valued for £8OO.
12. An umbrella and waterproof poncho set cost Me £1.00p! ,The poncho was luminous orange And a tiny wee bit on the far too small side for my size but it kept me dry until i reached the car park,Then once the farmer pulled my car from the mudbog with her tractor for a £5er , I very quickly drove straight forward very fast,and never looked back as i Exit'ed the Car Park like a Crazy stunt driver from dukes of hazzard
