This was like a rummage sale or jumble sale I was attending - no masks or distancing being employed so it may have been in the past ( or the future?)  / anyway?  I was scrabbling around on the floor picking up these un-mounted rubber stamps - someone else had seen them too and had yelled out "Ooh! Rubber stamps!" so I was pretty nifty and picked up a handful which all seemed quite unusual cartoon characters I'd not seen before or nursery rhymes?  All a bit blurry now.  Anyway, I asked how much this small handful of 22 stamps cost ( some no larger than my thumb nail - and the boy in charge said £22  which stunned me a bit. "What?!!"  . After some deliberation I eventually agreed on £11  which was 50p each . It was for charity after all ( which one I never found out  ).  So, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the most enomous £10  note you've ever seen - it was like A4  size!  Plus a pound coin ( normal size)  and paid. They seemed happy with the enormous note for some reason.  The dream sort of morphs into another scene then whch I mostly forget but this is still quite vivid .  Weird eh?  I'm obviously missing that social inter-action and going to boot sales and charity shops etc. like we used to do every week before lockdown and covid.  Hopefully they will start again soon.

Hi William - yes, strange isn't it - my first rubber stamp dream as far as I can remember. Plenty of flea markets  and piles of junk to sort through in previous dreams - annoying to not to remember exactly ones finds!  Certainly some record bins were flicked through.
