I'm still thrifting, baby And I don't wanna miss a game


I must take the same picture about the same time every year of the sun blazing over The k.C stadium, This time it been particularly spectacular.




A sad day for Gaming hunters in Hull, The main British heart foundation in the town centre shut down the other day. Had many of good finds from this store over the years, Off the top of my head such games as Grandia, Breath of fire 3 and about 25 copy's of Final fantasy X.

Rapping up my ebay last week and sorting my postage out and I nearly shit a chicken when I realised I had sold a game to non other then Guru Larry.
Larry does reviews, Top tens, all sorts of mixed content, and used to star on the Game Network on Sky well worth checking out.



First up we Have good old Fable the lost chapters 49p, Works on 360 £5-8 in it, and Obscure for xbox, I was sure this works on 360 turns out its not on the list, Still not to bad only 49p.




99p for  Rayman but most importantly Rayman black label The Platinum edition is ok for building up some feed back and maybe making a few pence, As with any PS1 Game the black label always commands extra pounds.

 
Tekken 4 for a whooping 39p, In CEX lots of the PS2 Games are down to £1.20 cash and £2.00 trade so its really hard to muster up some cash or trade on them now, If all the games where half as good and half as cheap in cash convertors I would clean them out and cash in.

This on the other hand was a bit overprice for what it is, £1.99 for joust and Defender, Of course the games are well worth it, Just the format, Game boy games are more like £1 each unboxed.

 

Two Big box PC games D&D birthright For windows 95 and DOS 5.0 and Dead Reckoning for Windows 95, Both for 75p at that kind of money I couldn't turn them down regardless of the resale value turns out its pretty good going the only listing I could find been £34.99 and £40.00 buy it now.


More black labels on PS1, Rayman 2, Tai fu, and Spyro the Dragon.


Well the bluray collection is coming along, Only the second time I have seen Blurays in a charity shop not prices at £5 each, These where all £1.99 each so I am down 60p on the resale side of things, Looks to me like I may be down a farther 6 hours of my life after I watch them all, Well maybe shitty movies can be significantly more enjoyable with a slight higher resolution we shall see.

Colin mcrae dirt for 50p after forza and gran turismo, I would say Dirt is a good contender for 3rd place its a fantastic racing game and for a 2006 release it the spec it requires are still relativity high its still a really good looking game.



 
Beyond good and evil for £1 and Two copy's of Simpsons hit and run for 49p each both from cash generator. 


Star wars battlefront 2 for 49p still a great seller on PS2. And Sing Star Disney for £1.


Riding Spirits 2 and God of War for £1 each.

Was doing a bit of research on some rare PS2 the other night and found out that the 1st harry potter on PS2 is rare and had a limited pal release, You see it all the time on ps1, Then I found this Spanish copy in cash converters the very next day for 99p.
 

99p For this lucas arts pack day of the tentacle/Sam and max hit the road, Lots of old school lucas arts stuff has gone right up in price of late, This can go for £15-20.




This thing is awesome bagged this for £1 Its a ps2 to ps3 converter so you can use your PlayStation 2 pads on ps3, And its totally awesome!


£1 each for these Game-boy games, Worms, Primal rage, Urban strike, Game boy gallery 5 in 1 and crazy castle 4.


Teddy Boy haven't got a clue about this game lose cart £1.





 

£1 for this black ops ps3 controller, It has buttons on the back and LED lights on the analog sticks sweet!


And a boxed Dreamcast £20 with Two Games Ducatiworld and Virtua striker 2, A Visual memory card, Rumble Pack and controller with all the hook ups. £20 is a bit close to the low end for my liking but I wanted the Games and the rumble pack for my own personal dreamcast collection, And the fact that anyone can just burn every game ever for dreamcast to a CD-R now you can easily get £25-£30 out of just the console. Right then back to Saints row IV.
