So not a hugely expensive show this time, although I did have to look hard to find the real bargains.
A few tips to those wishing to go for the first time.
Don’t buy the first thing you see, i can guarantee you’ll find it on another stall a lot cheaper. Save some spending money for the Sunday as a lot of stuff comes down in price. And don’t forget that a lot of the MV displays also have bits and bobs for sale. Often at really good prices, i managed to pick up a few jerry cans at £2 a pop and a SA80 bayonet at a fiver.
Another tip I picked up from a forum member was not to chuck the W&P map in the tent and forget about it. Take it with you to the stalls, if you see something that you like but want to see if its cheaper else ware. Put a dot with a pen on the stall location, that way you won’t spend god knows how long looking for it again.:blush:
