Car Booty Bargains

[dean_wales]

I love car boot sale bargains and am interested to know what brewing kit you guys have picked up for pennies for inspiration!

So far this year I have found these little gems, all of which were new and cost me about 50p each!

Two digital thermometers (ala these £20 ones at Hope n Grape)

A mains or battery powered set of scales. Up to 6kg and accurate, apprently £100+ when they were new! It is one of[url=htthttp://www.jadeverscale.com/cgi-bin/pj2003/ebu ... ORUMTYPE=E]these[/url].

Wireless Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse for the PC I will be using to monitor and one day control brewdays. Bit like one of these worth about £20-30.

Roll of insulation. Unopened. The siler bubble wrap kind you get in Wickes for £8 a roll! Used to insulate my HLT!

Three meters of heat resistant cable. Nice and heavy/rubbery with a kettle connection one end and a good socket the other! Ideal for hooking up my HLT!

Still hoping to see some big old stainless stockpot or tank for a fiver! Or some elements.
