Boot Sale Pickups

GmrGrl here with a very quick pickups post to show off some new additions to my Playstation collection.

I had last week off work as holiday so I headed over to my local boot sale to check it out (honestly I was hoping that retro collector would be back selling off the last of his stuff but sadly he wasn't) The boot sale season is winding down for the year now but I still found a couple of playstation games complete for £1 each.

 

Originally I thought that Spiderman was missing the manual but then I found it inside Spiderman 2 along with the manual for Spiderman 2 :) I'm not looking to get a big collection of Playstation Games as there are only a handful I really want, but when I see them for £1 each I'm not going to say no.

Boot Sale Bargains

Despite feeling shattered after Comic-con on Saturday, Tachiko & I headed over to Kingsley Boot Sale early on Sunday morning, I say early, what I mean is that we left early, got lost and after an hour found the boot sale that the sat-nav orginally said was 23 minutes away....but I digress.

We found a couple of stalls selling games, mostly the usual PS2 and Xbox 360 games but a couple were selling Nintendo items. One lady was asking £20 for an original gameboy and several games but we decided that the asking price was a bit high and left it behind.

Here is what we came home with instead :)

Yep a purple N64 with the matching controller! The guy selling the N64 was asking for £40 and the SNES games (complete with inserts & manuals) were £10 each but he gave us the lot for £55 :) Not a massive saving but for an N64 & 2 boxed games that's not a bad price. I also picked up a couple of gameboy game cases for £1, always useful as I have quite a few loose games and the cases are getting harder to find outside of eBay.

Of course as soon as we'd bought the N64 the heavens opened so we legged it back to the car as quick as we could and headed home. Once we got back we had a closer look at the N64 and found that the reset button was pushed down and seemed to be stuck. Tachiko was really worried that the main spring had gone and that it would be an additional cost having it fixed but after cleaning it up a little the button popped back up- I guess it was just dirty after all!
