there is some fucking good bargains out there, you just need to look. a few months back, i bought a pair of brand new subs with a double box for £21. They were collection only (and just down the road).
My girlfriend worjs in a jewellers, and she bought a ring off there for 99p, only 1 bid, she took out the stones for her boss to use for making up new pieces, melted the gold back down, and sold it for almost £100.
A while back i bought a whole interior for my new shape mondeo (my drivers seat was fucked) for £31. I replaced the drivers seat, then flogged the whole lot off again seperately for £90.
So yes, there are some fookin good bargains out there
