With careful selection, I recon you could double your money with £10 on eBay 
In fact, maybe thats a compertition next year - who can get the best return for £5 on ebay - 1p start no reserve! |

tools are generally crap. although the wire brushes, you get 10 for a pound so I buy them. |

The local pound shop in Hatfield had a sign on the front which said
"Don't ask the price - everything £1 or £2"
