Weird little place but it keeps giving up real retro gems. The place that i work at is about 5 miles outside of Bicester and one of the chaps who i work with was telling me a few years back about when there used to be a US Air Force base nearby. He was saying that they used to throw and give away alsorts of electronics stuff, so who knows what might turn up there (PC Engine please!!!!!!! :D )

Tell me about it. The first place i went in had all the Xbox stuff and i was pleased with that. Next place i went in had all the PS2, couldn't beleive it.

Man, I thought my copy of Actua Soccer 2 for 50p this morning was amazing, but it looks like you've taken the gold medal. Nicely found!

Yep but not as bad as the Oxfam in Northwich which is still charging £5 for videos. Most places have signs up saying they don't want to take them anymore.

Nice PS2 stuff there. Also, what version of Elder Scrolls III did you get? The GOTY edition goes for about £15-£20 on ebay so you did very good if it's that version.
