    Default Whats the best or worst thing you have bought or seen in a sale?

    The best things I have bought from a carboot sale is a solid pine chest of draws for £10 plus free delivery and a large Le Creuset casserole dish for £1.50. The worst thing I have seen but not bought is a used toilet brush.

    The best thing I bought was an antique plant stand with marble on the top for $5. The worst thing I've ever seen is a douche bag....

    The worst: rusty animal crate with feces still in it.

    Oh man, dentures would be a great Halloween gag!! Put them in a canning jar with some water and have some other jars with fake fingers and such and make it look like a mad scientist's lab!!

    Lots of great things.

    Worst item? An "adult" section with movies, toys, books, etc.

    The worst thing I ever bought was a play pen for my twins. I got it at an outdoor sale so didn't realize it reeked of cigarette smoke and cooking grease until I got it into my car. I tried to clean it up but wound up throwing it away. A big waste.
