Thrifty Rampage

Pretty good run out this time coming less then a week since the last time I was out on thrifting lets see what I found.
Sometimes I fine myself needing to brake into a note for some bus fare, So picking up a common ps2 game for 99p is a good way to get the change you need and add to the collections, Makes sense when there is a cash converters right near the bus stop.


Finding some xbox originals Goblin commander and kung fu chaos, To sort after titles for the system no backwards compatibility for 360, Still worth picking up for £1 each.





Finally CEX had a copy of Digaea 4, One of the games I have pegs for going up in value, Most J-rpg's like this are around the £10 mark, A price worth paying now, that can only go up overtime.
Pretty dry round my local charity shops They did have some ps2 and ps1 nothing you would want to pay £2 each for 007 racing blarrr, So I tuck a march to Cottingham to see what they had to offer.
 Stopped to look at this Alex Ross exhibition, Hes a Comic book writer/artist most know for his work with DC, And yeah the art was cool but £695 for a sign superman picture isn't very thrifty, Maybe if I find one in a chairty shop for £5.
 Zelda phantom hourglass for £4, Still sells at retail for £8 so you could maybe get near to that on ebay, £4 for a zelda game is still a bargain.


Tangled on Wii for £3.29 Again retail on this is £8, There is £3 cash of £5 trade in it at CEX, So its always a top up what you ended up doing with gambles like this, but Kids wii games with the disney label is worth rolling the dice.
 Like these peppa pig wii games, they sell for £10 and £8 and are nearly always sold out in CEX, So these would be a better bet for Ebay people wanting to palm there kids of with wii games because every one still has a wii.


Finally Found a copy of Gottlieb pinball classics, I have wanted this for a while, I see it all the time and its always beat to shit and scratched, This one was mint for £1.50, This is to play and get sick of pinball games that you have to buy the tables separately, Just stop it!
Midway Arcade treasures 2, This is a great collections of games, Rampage. Narc, Mortal kombat 1 and 2, Total carnage, etc etc one of the best compilation on ps2 and 99p its the right price. 
 £3 each for Resi evil outbreak and silent hill in dove house, £3 is a bit high for resi evil but when you see two games like this next to each other on the shelf you mite as well rescue them both, great to find some silent hill havn't seen this for a while in the wild.
Civilization revolution for £4, CEX trade is £6 and £5 cash, I have seen this a lot of games like this, Cash convertors has a basket outside 3 for 10 or £4 each and theres always one or two games that have a couple of quid profit on them it all counts.
Good resale on this Starwars jei knight jedi academy for xbox, This one works on 360 an its one of the many store after star wars games on the original xbox in really good con as well for £1.
Kingdom hearts 2 for £1, From cash express, So many kingdom hearts games popping up of late good resale on ebay, more for number 2 and a great find.
Another £4 game that's £5 cash £6 Trade in CEX, War of the north, This copy is the Collector's edition and £10 retail I think this is more a ebay job then a Quick £1, always check both avenues, as long as you don't over pay its a win.
Wooaahh! is that something retro its being a while, Not finding anything older then ps1 for a few weeks its nice to see something that captures retro so pecfectly, £1.99 for a spare NES controller.. Hells Yeah!
 

Almost as provocative is this PS1 mouse have a era of classic about it from the next decade, again only £1, Give the last one of these to a mate who was collection Command and conquer for PS1 so I will had this one back into my PS1 stuff.
I was at that guys house the other day and he shoot me a game, Its awesome when people give you free games it makes me happy, Fullmetal Alchemist DS, I didn't Have a DS when He give me it then I ended up finding one the next day.
 A sweet blue first model for £15 with one GBA game, That turned out the be Sabrina, I always hold my breath pulling out that GBA that is alway in a second hand DS thinking it mite be pokemon or mega man, Nearly always some kids game, I see Gameboy SPs in cash converters and places like that priced up at £15 so a DS for the same price and in a cool blue colour its a deal.
Plus I still had These R4 Cards kicking about to get that on the go again Think am going to fill them both up with different games the just leave it like that because last time I used these I ended up changing the games way to often, See you next time and Thirft on!
