The best advice I've heard is to find a particular type of thing you are interested in and find out as much as you can about that - the narrower the field the better, then just buy things that you like and build up a little collection with some kind of theme. Unless you are a real expert, buying as an investment is going to be very hit and miss and at least this way you get some things you like
Chances are that if you like your little collection, others will as well

This.

If you go to a huge boot sale where lots of people are unloading at the same time, you stand a chance, otherwise forget it. Unless you are rude and pushy like the dealers!

My skill was old computer games, but that skill is now outdated as there aren't any sold any more, or they are so rare it's not worth the hassle and everyone thinks they are worth a fortune, which they aren't.
We do still pick up bargains, but it's more now just for us and the kids everyday stuff, got some great ones yesterday.

In that case, if they are going to be rude so will I. I'll ram the back of their legs with my wheelchair followed up with "oops, sorry, finger slipped"
