I also did my usual trick of booking a table for a spot of selling. I didn't have quite as much to sell this year but still made a decent profit, especially in the first 10 minutes which was quite manic. Slightly annoying was the fact that at least 3 of the sellers seemed to be businesses rather than gamers selling their stuff and they had spread out over quite a few tables mainly flogging GW stuff!.
As for purchases, I pounced on some Bolt Action vehicles on the sale tables, a half-track and a stug 111 for just £7 each. I also bought some scatter items to help me create some more desert scenery, walls, lines of sandbags, crates and oil drums.
Of course as soon as I got home I dropped the vehicles, snapping the plastic aerials off, these have now been replaced with wire ones. I also got an Afrika Korps 80mm mortar.
Finally, I also bought a goblin hut. This is meant for 28mm figures but is quite small so it should make an excellent hall for King Krag, leader of my 15mm goblins. I will post a photo of this when it is painted.
Surprisingly for me I actually came home with more money than I went with thanks to my sales. That profit should buy Ann and I lunch tomorrow somewhere on our long bike ride.
