What did you buy at the carboot today ??

[sscott]

Haven't been to one in ages as was sick of the same crap being sold, nice to see people still finding bargains though!

went to one this morning, walked 2 miles to it, and it wasn't on! Held back a day for the bank holiday....but my most recent car boot purchase was this:



Just missing the figurine which was a shame

Yo Tachi, may I ask where this was? Only because I've completely given up on the boot fairs in the area after continually wasting my time and petrol in visiting both the stolen goods Pikeyfest at Stonehouse, and the one in Plympton that's cleared out by fat Janner dealers and hordes of Eastern Europeans in people carriers..

Went to a couple today, but i was really late to the party as i had to drop my missus and son off at a charity walk they were doing. I didn't get to the first one until after 9am.

So, as i expected, i didn't get too much but did enjoy a bacon sandwich, cuppa tea and a stroll in the sun.

I managed to come away with:

Shadow of Rome PS2 mint.
Ghost Master PS2 mint
Rapala Fishing Frenzy Wii...mint, complete with fishing rod, all baggied up. Don't think its ever been used.
A complete set of Star Wars Tazo's in the Star Wars binder. Dunno much about these, but it seemed like a bargain.
4 Thunderbirds annuals (one sealed. )
Silent Hill DVD

Just about given up at car boots.

Did haggle someone down from £5 to 75p for Super Mario World 3 on NES last time though xD

You wouldn't even give him a £1 for a solid game, after he dropped £4 quid off his asking price ?

Matford Park Carboot in Exeter. I also gave up on Plymouth as it is, frankly, a waste of bloody time
Starts at 6.45am and is very busy!

I managed to find a few select things yesterday

I got two Jap PSP games which were Kollon and Puzzle Bobble Pocket for £5 together he did want £8 so not bad really and also picked up Overlord on PC for £1
I also got the hardback of Snuff for 50p (the Terry Pratchett book)

You really have to dig through the rubbish though and haggle pretty hard to get anywhere.

Saturdays was cancelled here (I guess it was the mega wind!) but there was another local one on Sunday, luckily all the dealer scum go to the mamouth ones on Sunday so DVDs etc were still on stands at kick off. It was also starting to rain so not many buyers floating about. Did see a fair bit of PS2 games, but mainly common/sports etc. Did buy the Aladdin DVD box set (of all 3 disney films) for £1 which was pleasing, along with a few comedy series and The Doors (the movie) which I''ve been wanting to watch for a while now all for a £1 each. Aside that not much about. But I am very strict with myself these days.

Picked up a Tomy Super cup football game, with classic 80's united v everton box illustration, forgotten how noisy the motor is on these things, still good, fun might have to let the kids win a game soon.

Sell ok on ebay , even with noisy motors. I bought one and thought it was faulty so i stuck it on the bay and got £18 for it + courier postage. Not bad from £1. Sounds like theyre just naturally noisy then

Got mine down from the loft last week as it happens! I'll never part with mine as i love the damned thing. Somehow i still have all the original footballs. Although i've now just jinxed myself haven't i?

I love these. I'm on my third one (had one when i was a kid, then when my little bro was a kid, then i bought one on ebay a few years back). I'm unbeaten in about 20 years! It's a noisy machine - always has been. It's satisfying hearing the whir of the motors - a PROPER game!

I've only got three balls left though!
