flameboy Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 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. Yeah definitely will got for cheaper at car boots I saw someone selling a Gamecube 2 controllers, Billy Hatcher and another game for £8 at a recent car boot. I didn't buy anything there was the worst carboot I've been to for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'll be going to my local car boot sale early(ish) tomorrow, will report back if I get any decent finds. Nothing much to report... sometimes it's just the way it goes. I want to know which car boot sale @yesteryeargames goes to but I suspect he won't tell me as we'd probably be competing for the best finds if we ever turned up on the same day, it'd be like a Cornish edition of Bargain Hunt.

Roll on this sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.C.G Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Nice haul @lostmario World of Illusion is a classic game so a bargain at that price, liking the Mario DS holder too. I shall probably be attending my local car boot this Wednesday - same one I got the Midi Guitar from - if the weather is good, I'll report back if I find anything decent.

Get a lot of sellers there? Unusual day for a car boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I really need to get myself to a carboot sale, probably take @LukeLee along with me, but again, we would probably end up going for the same things Best bargains i've had are in Gamestation, DK Bongo's for 99p and a boxed Gameboy Player for £1.99 come to mind. Shortly after the launch of the GBA I managed to get one from a second hand dealer for just £15 unboxed, it was still around £90 boxed at the time. I had the biggest smile on my face that day!

I will hopefully finally finish it. Good luck with that. I tried playing it again this year and it has aged horribly. The controls of the game have made it downright unplayable.
