ace one mate, enjoy

 

[Clarkspie&chips]

Amazing score on the GameCube.

 

[Mrleemur]

thanks, I've kind of been eying them up for a while, the last two I saw were one for £5 with no cables, games or controllers, and on the same day, one with a few games for £100.. nope, just nope!

still makes me wonder why people think they can charge more than CEX who offer a warranty, when they're just some shifty looking guy at a boot sale *shrugging emoji*

Agree our local one they ask stupid prices.

 

[Mrleemur]

think a lot of people look at top dollar price, ignore condition, and then assume that's what people are going to pay!!

You can still get a few bargains from car boots, but a lot of so called pro sellers who do it for a living are asking stupid prices for stuff. The same goes for charity shops, i can see that they are selling for charity and i give to a select few that are close to my heart. But some of them ask for top retail and wonder why the back rooms are overspilling and the footfall is dropping. Price it reasonably then sell it on and sell through the stock ( sorry its the old retailer in me) :lol:

The last car boot i went to which as strawberry fields near Bridlington was ace, i got loads of bargains 8)

also got GTA 4 and 5 for the 360, over paid for them though. oh well.

there was a bit of Epi 1 stuff about today, was sort of tempted by the Darth Maul mug, but obviously not that tempted, I didn't even ask how much! :lol:

Not many people out today since it's overcast but the first row I went had these. The speeder bike is still sealed inside and the slave 1 still has the paperwork. Also saw an ecto1 with box but the guy wanted too much.
