[firebreather]

went to my 1st proper car boot of the year, got a Pokemon N64 console (havent tested it yet) a couple of PS3 games to trade in Lego Batman & Little big planet. Also got F1 2011 360 for £5, plus a few DVD'S Avatar, no country for old men & arthur and the invisibles for 50p each. And finally got the buffy complete DVD set for £20 no sure why, seen them all 3 times maybe save it for the kids in a couple of years

are there any good websites that list where carboots are in various areas? I've never been to one, but would give one a try one sunday (as longs as it's not raining!). I have googled this, but the information seems very random and outdated, so was wondering is there was a good site people use? thanks, B

Usually pretty reliable for us:
http://www.carbootjunction.com/

Ooo thanks for that link. That will come in handy for me =)

I don't often go to carboot sales and when I do I rarely see stuff I'd be interested in - such as video games! However, I went along to a local carboot this Sunday and actually came away with some stuff! My wee boy picked up some Bionicles, which he was very pleased with, and I got 3 Airwolf dvds for a quid. Cheesey 80s nostalgia

The carboots I go to never seem to have anything decent or if they do decently priced.

Although with haggling I suppose I can get some decent deals occasionally but nothing fantastic

Only half decent when they are just opening & a hour afterwards

Is there any chance of seeing a photo of the boxset? Just wondering which one it is.

like this one


think its probably the most bog standard set released, but still a bargain for £20 i reckon.

if the weather looks good tomorrow i am going to do a carboot sale myself, ive got tons of stuff kicking about that needs shifting, and i want to make some space in the spare room as you cant move in there anymore.

I think that is the latest version of the boxset, still really good at that price though.

Managed to get up this morning for my first car boot of the year I don't think i'm quite ready to barter yet, too polite.

A few stalls even though it was raining -



Nothing that retro -

Call of Duty and Battlefield were both £4 each with the Gears book (Sealed) costing 50p. This gives me hope for when XBOX 360 and so on become last gen,

All of the Ps2 games were £1.

Tekken Tag - a bit scruffy but i'm looking to get the PS2 launch titles that I wanted but couldn't afford at the time.
Gran Turismo Concept - got most other GT games so why not?
BMX XXX was a bit of a curiosity pick up as was Prince of Persia, got home to find the Persia disk in a bit of a state and no instructions.

Regret not picking up Time Splitters 1,2,3 PS2 for a £1 each but i'm sure it will pass. Was very tempted to buy some unboxed GC bongos but £5 seemed a bit steep.

Everything was rained off my way by some truly awful weather

[oldtimer]

Same here, you needed a boat the rain was so heavy,
