My Mrs is a car boot sale fanatic and a couple of years back she along with lots of other scavangers where looking/scrabbling and grabbing through a pile of stuff someone had dumped and the sale organisers would just throw it away at the end of the day if no one took it. Anyway she found a wicker loyd loom otterman and also found me a boxed allcocks match aerial inside an old suitcase, inside a box, inside it's own box. Ok the box was/is a bit tatty but the reel is totally as new and looks like it's never been used at all !
Since then I've had quite a few trips to the sale myself and have had a few excellent buys. I did regret not buying a new sage fly rod for £70 as when I got home I looked it up on ebay and the same model (but used) was going for £500 and above.
