Excellent thread Bob. It really helps to be able to get a handle on prices of stuff.

I never get any interesting junk 'males' through my letter box - perhaps I need a bigger one hee hee

Great thread - we brought home quite a few 'flyers' we picked up at various places. Also car prices, any property mags, and Kev even went into a tool shop and got one of their price guides.

They've done the rounds of the NW meet today, just to give people an idea on prices.

Keep posting the new ones you get!
