Ganepark32 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I need to get down to cornwall 'cause judging by some of the stuff you're getting yesteryeargames, cornwall seems to be a retro collector's heaven. What Game and Watch is it? Can't quite make out which one it is from the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.C.G Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) YYG... is that the car boot sale at Rosudgeon that you go to? If so then well done I've had a few finds there but nothing like what you've managed to acquire. When you say 'early' just how much in advance do you usually go? for instance, Rosudgeon sellers get there at 10:30am so I'm guessing 10am? Just curious anyway, I used to go to car boots quite a lot but now not so much, more trying to get rid of stuff than buy more lol but it's cool if you have the space I guess.

flameboy Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 awesome finds there! I've stopped my retro collection now...too much stuff to get over to Canada, looking forward to finding my own bargains there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debug Mode Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Nice haul! But do those Wiimotes work properly? The box for them screams Chinese knock off heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I too have experienced my share of boot sale bargains over the years. Best was probably a mint SNES with two pads and Starwing for £3. Still have it kicking about in the loft. eBay has pretty much killed the car boot sale for gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostmario Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Nice haul! But do those Wiimotes work properly? The box for them screams Chinese knock off heh. Both work fine, have all packaging, instructions, safety strap & safety case. If they are Chinese knock offs, they are damn good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are they just made the boxes but put real ones inside. Still, a massive bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrotowers Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I love car boot sales my brother got a Dreamcast console for 50p last week. I think my best find ever was 11 snes games and 2 snes consoles for £11. That was a good day. Anyway What time do you guys normally get to the carboot sales? I am never sure of the optimum time if you get there too early you have to wait for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earliest I'll go to a carboot is 7ish I miss out on a lot of bargains as I'm not the type to pester people while they are getting things out of their car, I rather wait until they have everything out then have a good look.

Esequiel Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 So yeah...... i done fucked up. I almost always walk round the carboot where i work on sundays first thing in the morning at about 6am. This week just gone i really didnt feel like it and went to get breakfast first. I started seeing people walking past me with boxed SNES games and was like.... oooo nice. So anyway i ate my sausage sandwich and started walking around, didnt see anyone selling SNES games and though he must have had just a few and sold them all. Walking to the last field i notice a guy loading his car up with a few bits and a bag of SNES games. Which games....... Super Metroid, giant box minth with guide. DK, DK2, DK3. Unirally. And more that i think my mind has blanked out. So i make my way up the field and spot the guy selling them, i bought the last two that he had (Sim City and Smash Tennis), he sold me them both for £5. Turns out he found about 100 games in the attic of the house he bought, brought them to the car boot and sold them for £3 each. Absolutley gutted. TL:DR - Always look round the carboots early or you miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'll be going to my local car boot sale early(ish) tomorrow, will report back if I get any decent finds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I need to start going to car boots. I really want a PS1 and a Gamecube and the computer shops around me are selling them for £20 but I know I can get them cheaper. When I do go to a car boot, I'll come back and tell you my finds.
