Went to a couple today for the first time in a while. Very disappointing. Low turnout and not much to be seen.

I bought:

Heavenly Sword complete PS3 £2.50
Castle of Illusion complete MD (almost mint) 75p
The Sims Triple Pack Deluxe PC (for my daughter...not sure it will work on her windows 7 laptop, but it was only a quid) If it doesn't, that'll probably end up on the RN thread.

I passed on:

A boxed nice condition original Xbox with 7 good games for £25...probably worth it, but i don't need another last gen console to collect for.
A loose Atari 2600 Vader 4 switcher with 3 or 4 boxed games....also £25
3 purple GBC 's £3 each (same seller) poor screens on all though.

That's all i saw apart from the usual PS2 sports games.

I went south and only bought furniture: a bookcase for the spare room for 2.50. Thought she'd say at least a fiver so bit her hand off. Pleased with that. Now to buy more stuff to fill it :D

I bought a SNES for £2 but sadly it doesn't have the power cord, anyone have any idea what it takes just to test it out?

I passed up on one of these for £3

I would have took it bought I'm trying to cut down on the amount I have and well it's a bit too large for me to keep, I hadn't seen one of those before didn't even know they existed.

I use a centre positive polarity 9v 1.5 amp psu. If you have one lying about, you're sorted.

Got up at 6 this morning, slim pickings apart from sports games.. :(

Not sure I've got it in me to be bothering people as they're unloading and trying to barter them down. Think I'll go along at my normal time and pick up little bits.

The carry case was £1.50 as were each of the boxed GC memory cards. Oni was £1 and the Assassins Creed book was 50p.

I also saw this at a one stall, he had lots of different computer parts, he wanted £5 each.

Just some Anime DVDs and a few Steelbook DVDs. Didn't get a great chance to look around due to my missus getting very annoyed with people pushing into her when she was looking at stuff.

There was quite a good one starting up in Seaford, my wife banned me from going, she has said I have to get rid or "alot" of my stuff before I even think about considering buying anything. Mind you I was so hung over from the Chelsea game, I would have struggled to get around.
WANTED: Mario Party 3 on N64 (just the Box only) ANY SNES GAMES, OR EMPTY SNES BOXES, INSTRUCTION MANUALS or WHITE INNER TRAYS.

DUDE, I would have given you double your money and paid for p&p if you'd have picked this up....always wanted one but I haven't seen one in the car boot wilderness for years.

You've just inspired me to buy one (or attempt to) on eBay.....wife is going to kill me

Bah I was expecting someone on here would want it but I was unsure so didn't bother, I can always take another look see if it's still there next weekend if you like, although I wouldn't get my hopes up :lol:
