So just to paint a more detailed picture, I generally work Sunday's and so don't really get a chance to look around my local boot sale very often. A couple of weeks back I had a rare Sunday off work so decided to jump at the opportunity to go 'Game Hunting' and man am I glad I did!
I only wish that I'd had a lot more money on me as I found pretty much any mainstream console you care to mention. First stall I went to was selling a GBA & 30 games (unboxed) for £30, then I found a handfull of DS & Wii games for a couple of quid each! (picked up a few games but the GBA was too rich for my blood at the time)
Also picked up this 3rd party GBA carry case for £1! Had a bunch of bratz stickers on the inside but they came off with a little picking :)
Also saw the typical Xbox & PS2's for sale but nothing was that appealing until I came to the last row of cars, mid way down the row I saw a guy selling off his ENTIRE retro collection...why? Because his girlfriend was making him 'there's not enough room in our new house for all his junk' she said when I asked why he was selling!
Still his loss was our gain as I bought Tachiko's Sega Saturn for £20 and this Master System 2 (I think it has Alex Kidd built in as I vaugely remember the seller saying something along those lines) and 17 games (not 30 like I said in the video *doh!*) for £30 :)
please excuse the blurry picture, I took it in a bit of a hurry! Games are
top row: Chuck Rock 2 son of chuck, Sonic, Sonic 2, Altered Beast, Cool Spot, Paperboy
middle row: world class leader board, kick off, soccer, parlour games, bank panic, teddy boy
bottom row: super monacco GP, global defence, master games 1, Olympic Games, Golden Axe Warrior
Next time: More Pickups!!
