If you're in the game Then the Thrift's the word






















My Hunt for items for my collection and resale started with my neighbors selling me this boxed mega drive 2, It had mega games 2 and sonic 1 with it pretty standard fair and I didn't have a model 2 boxed so its cool just for that reason. 



















Then on closer inspection I realize there was a lose cart in the box, That only happened to be a Japanese copy of Golden axe 2 WTF? Of course its beat up and the labels worn but still very cool this can go on the top shelf of my games room next to shenmue 2.
Final fantasy Tactics the war of the lions on psp, Maybe over paying, Found it in Cottingham so its always going to be over priced in a small village charity shop but has the NTSC cover so made it interesting enough to warrant the purchase.
 Few shops down the road and I find this, In cold Blood for Ps1, Its a great game I have fond memories of playing this game after getting my ps2 stolen and rocking the ps1 for a year before I could get one back £1.99 bargain.
There is a small tat shop I keep going back too and it always has boxed GBA/Gameboy games and every time I go in the games keep getting better but the price stays the same £5 each on all the boxed games, So Caslevania Circle of the moon for £5 buy it!
Same goes for Kirby's Dream land complete and in the box again only £5 this is almost cart only prices, And there not beat up at all, I ask the guy in the shop where he gets them from? he has a collector friend and when he is short on cash he's collection gets lite, Fine by me I will keep buying them.

Strap your self's in GAME had some retro on the go, I was join on the thrift by my mate Jenko as we made are way down Hessle road to Town centre and then Holderness road.

And in the Time honored tradition I find a Copy of Crash bandicoot warth of cortex, £1.50 in age concern, Still £3 trade £2 cash and retail of £8 ebay maybe a bit less overshadowed by the gamecube and xbox  versions faster load times.

£1 for Men In Black the game, I remember giving this ago back in the day, I has a Resident evil like style to it, Tank controls and Pre-rendered background make it almost worth playing just for the charm of that type of game.
Overpaying on this bluray, CEX sells this for £1.50, I payed £1.99 its for charity so far cop and another cheap Bluray to build up my small collection, And the best film out of the franchise, before it got all 80's and Mexican and there was Knect ghosts, Yeah...

Capcom Classic Collection Vol.1 for £1, Really no need to even think about getting this how many classic video games can you get for £1? 
22 all on one disc awesome!

GTA double pack, Something you would like to be on xbox more the PS2, I mostly see these all beat up the sleeve that this comes in is always falling apart, This copy was in tidy nick so I picked it up the discs where in great shape to.
Best Find has to go to ZOOL on Amiga CD32, resale it only goes for £8-£10, But the fact that its a game from one of the systems I really want fills me full of hope that a Amiga CD32 console will turn up in the wild, Amiga CD32 and Philip CD-I are firmly planted at the top of my wish list and its such a tease finding software for both systems this year.

Right I am of to dive into the epic stash of games jenko gave me when we popped into his parents gaff to see what games he left there, Think I will start with persona 4 arena, tell next time keep Thifting people!
