Top 10 Greatest Missed Barngains

Missed in inaction: Tina print by JH Lynch, No.2

These are barngains I’ve either just missed by seconds, or have gone back later to buy and – surprise, surprise – found they’ve been bought, at car boot sales or charity shops in the last year or so.

1. Beatles’ White Album LP – £6
Oxfam, Trowbridge, Wiltshire
Low stamp number meant it could be worth £1000+.

2. Tina Print by JH Lynch (glass front and framed) – £5
Frome Car Boot Sale, Somerset
Sells for £50+ on eBay. Missed by a matter of seconds.

3. 24 Boxed Sets Seasons 1-6 – £10 the lot
Crockerton Car Boot Sale, Wiltshire
At least £17 each new online. Season 1 was sealed.
