Great War truck Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I came back with three second hand books for £3 each and having sold some stuff i had £91 more than i started with. I had a good day meeting some old friends. More of a social event than a shopping trip. There was some interesting militaria stuff but nothing that made me want to dip my hand in my wallet. I am always curious about the guys who come over from France, Belgium and Holland with tons of genuine and replica US WW2 stuff all at insane prices. I cant imagine that they take any less back than they bring over. Surely, the reenactors will only buy so many Thompson magazine pouches for example yet there seemed to be thousands of originals and replicas there. Now what was the law about supply and demand, doesnt seem to be working........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Ah I see. Very cryptic. I read that several times and couldnt make the connection. I thought you might be having a go at me but couldnt work out how or why. You will have to take up writing questions for BBC2 quizzes.
