Any thrifting sunday.


Taking the scenic route to Newland Ave the other Day Just as the Sun was going down, Pearson park looking very picturesque.

We Kick off with a humble find, Tested Drive Umlimited 2 for PC, I tried to run this on my crappy laptop before, I mite have a go on out lasses P.C to see if that will run it, If not there is £1.80 Trade at CEX.


In Red cross I find Two Game Cube games, £2 each for Road Rage and Hit and run, Road Rage is a ebay job and will get about £4, Hit and run in Cex sells for £12, And £6 cash £8 Trade, Sweet find.



Almost missed these Mega Drive Games hidding in the VHS in st mary's hospice charity shop, £3 each Sampas is a J-cart so mite of picked that up but £3 is pushing it and Desert stike I got a couple of weeks ago for 50p.


£1 For Spyro season of Ice for the GBA so-so Game But out with spyro on it will sell and it was the right price so I picked it up




Then for £3 I scored with Pokemon blue Sweeet! I used to have a Grey cart copy of this game it was the First pokemon Game I ever Played and for under £5 its a total no brainer.




Found these in a random mobile phone shop the guy had a whole bunch of Unboxed PS1 games, He said £2 a disc, A price that he must of pulled out of thin air, Tried to get them £1 each but he wouldn't move on price, Got these two for Replacements, I have a beat up Crash bash and A box book and cover for Spyro with no disc, So A wise investment.

In Cash convertors, They have a good turn over on ps2 in this store always some games I wanted in there, Pacman world 2 and Ape Escape 3 for 99p each great deal just the sort of titles you want to see out in the wild for cheap.

In a different cash convertors I only picked this up to check the price, Thinking the standard £18 or there abouts would be on it, £6! what a deal, CEX still Give £9 and £12 Trade on this, So I will place this in my RPG stash, Even if the price doesn't go up its an awesome game to keep.

Crazy seeing this That day the podcast I was listening to was going on about comics and reminded me of when my mate carl lent me Supreme power to read that was about an hour before I saw this in Oxfam for £1.99 That happens all the time.

Random Item of the Thrift goes to this Meccano Star Trek USS Enterprise 1976 In good con these can go for about £15 on ebay without the box, This one however was pretty beat up and was priced at £9.99 pretty cool but not worth the price leave it for some Trek fan to pick up.


More nostalgia bate with Ulysses 31 vol 2, I found out there is money in these DVDs Watching a Video by Lebossu77 on youtube, £1 and this sells for about £8, Its good to sub to people who are doing a similar thing to you, Get all kinds of tips and tricks for Thrifting.
Investing in the Saturn a bit more It was time to improve the set up, So I picked up a Scart lead, The RF cuts out now and again and the picture wasn't great so for £5 its worth it.

These Two drop on my door the same day both under £5 off ebay, Going to get my acrade racer on with the saturn wheel, I picked up Last bronx for saturn off Ebay Too still waiting of that to come a Fighting game I have never try out on the system.

So Excitedly I rush to the Door Next day thinking the package that came was Last bronx, My girlfriend had ordered Tunnel B1 at the same time I had paided for the other games, Witch I have to admit is pretty fucking funny, Because she know how much I love Tunnel B1.


Picked up Donkey konga to go with the bongos for last week cheap enough at CEX £2,   




 
Also I got Street racer Feels so mid 90's more then any other game with the megadrive verison using sprite scalling, The Snes used Mode 7, The Playstation and saturn adding 3D backgrounds, And even the Amiga getting a port of the Megadrive verion, Awesome.

Some 50p each PS1 game action South park Rally, Tomb Raider Rev, C&C, So-So stuff but 50p good con I am going to added it to the pile.


Civ IV for £1, The Trade in CEX is still £1.80 so it will be added to the Trade pile once I nick the poster out the box so I can have the reverse side on my wall in the games room.




And I found something worth Trading in for, Metal Gear Legacy collection, I never got round to picking up HD collection This is that same thing but with art book and Guns of the patriots, Be Aware Metal Gear Solid and VR missions are a download Code, I already have them two games, Bit cheap just giving you the PS1 games with no extras or upscaling, boooo.

Sonic Gems Collection for 99p, Soinc CD is on android now, but Racers and Fighter are nice to have on the disc, Just easier slapping this in your PS2 and 99p for PS2 games is awesome, I see them Priced at £1.99 less and less, 99p and 49p are more what you want to be paying.
Doctor Who Ghost light for £1, We love a bit of Classic who on Thrift bytes, And this one is £3 cash and £4 Trade, I think its because I used to collected them so I have a good Idea of the prices and They stand out on the shelf so you can't miss them, Skills.

Sam And Max Hit the Road, This time in the single box without day of the tentacle but still well worth more then the £1 that was paid for it.




 And Finally Getting Drunk Watching the Superbowl with my boy Steve He gave me a PS1 controller and a Master system, The two Master Systems I have had before this where lets say less then fully functional one not working at all and the other having some picture issues this one how ever works great and finally Its one with Alex the Kid built in and not sonic Sweet!
