Summer of Snes

Damn been a total heatwave all over the U.K for about two weeks now and hull hit 32c the other day it was hotter then rio.

Gaming on a whole is pretty much an indoor activity, But like most kitchens and spare rooms in the UK there's usually one of them old TV/DVD combo's kicking about on them stands that swivel all the way round.

Rocking a small PSone to get your out door gaming on pretty sweet.
 

Prolifically checking all the shops that have retro is a rule to live buy if you wanted to fine the good stuff, A prime example of this happened the other day checked out the same shop on the way to my mates house and then on the way back home the next day, The first day they had nothing worth buying, Then the following day that had loads of PS2 games for 75p each there was a fair few worth getting I picked up.





Down hill domination
 
Deaedly skies

 Altered beast

 GTA sa

Crash banicoot 2

 GTA san andreas still holding £3 trade in CEX, The rest of them where all over 75p on the trade so gives the trade pile a boost.

 And Crash bandicoot 2 not in the original box just in a standard CD jewel case, That's a good point, That there is always games hidden in the CD's definitely worth skimming the CD's in charity shops you never know.

And the last 75p game I got that day was Marvel vs capcom 2, The box was full of really good titles worth playing but this was by far the best from a resale stand point and a gaming prospective.

Traded in all the PS2 I found at CEX apart from marvel vs capcom 2, was gunning for shadow hearts but ended up with too games instead final fantasy crystal chronicles and jade cocoon 2.

Random item of the week goes to this sealed up copy of the street fighter movie sound track, No one wanted to listen to this? not even a bit of Ice cube?

This white original game boy advance cost me £8.75, It was going to be £9 put people don't seem to have the patience to wait for me to rack my pockets for change and end up letting me of money? Tesco's the other day they let me of 99p.. 99p you could buy,

 Loco Roco on psp a hidden gem with the charm of vib ribbon and the game play of beautiful katamari or Ape academy 2 for psp with its same console split screen function? The GBA came with crash n trance I will be using it to bundle a few Gameboy games I have left unsold.

This Sega Master system was in a barnardos charity shop priced up at £39.99 no games one pad all the cords, eBay its going to cost you £20-25 with no games but most do come with a few common games, I will keep an eye on this hopefully someone will look it up online when it doesn't sell.

Cash generator is always a good shout for getting things under the CEX price, Finding Lego Star wars complete saga For £7, so with £12 trade that's £5 you don't have to spend in real money for something rare, You could try your look on ebay but the going rate for more current games on ebay is usually the CEX trade price anyways, So its alway good to reinvest some games in to finding something rarer for ebay.

  

So with Lego Stars wars some old P.C games few 50p Credit notes and some fluff out my pockets I managed To get enough Trade for Complete copy of Shadow Hearts, They even Re-surfed it for me and it has the 16 page mini guide get in.

Going towards spicing up the GBA lot I will be listing on ebay picked up Mario and yoshi just to give people a flash of red and blue get the whole Nintendo vibe going.

Motor mash? Yeah I will hold my hands up with this one never heard of it, The ocean logo on the front gives away its a pretty early release for ps1 it was £1 its worth about £4 so not bad but worth more as a curiosity then anything else.
 

Assassins Creed for £2 more like £4-6 in cex/cash congen so not bad last time I had it there was £3 trade in it its gone down to £1.60 so this will probably be the last time I pick this game up so this will ended up in my box of Purgatory where tunnel b1 lives.



Now as for the likely hood of me finding Duplicate consoles It turns out Hull  is choc full of Super Nintendo's, because I found another one. 

Even more amazing is that for £15 I find this Snes in Very similar condition as the last one
No Yellowing and This model had the dust cap still on the AV out, Before I saw this I didn't know they had a cover for this port? And Mario All stars to top it off, next week a 3D0 and CDI.
