Sorry but it's one of the absolutely worthless Phoenix games for which I refuse to pay more than 3-4€ shipped.

Posting my games for the week a little early, looks like the large car boot I go to on Sundays will be called off tomorrow due to rain. It sounds sad but going is the thing I generally look forward to most all week. Oh well, hopefully some people will still show up and even if not I got some bargains on eBay.

This guy was selling his Nintendo 64 collection on eBay, if I had more money I would have taken Majora's Mask and Goldeneye too.

Image
Image

From the same seller, he was doing a great deal on combined postage and nobody else seemed to want it. Both this and Lylat Wars have the instructions in the plastic sheet, I wish the guy had more items listed.

Image

Games my other half bought me as a surprise. I love Bomberman! Can't wait to force my friends to play it. The other games aren't shabby either, I really liked James Pond as a kid, Desert Strike looks very decent and I've never heard of Quackshot but those 90s Disney games were pretty good on the whole.

There was a huge flea market today in the city. I found one (1) PS2 game that isn't utter crap. Nothing else game related.

makes no diff to me, happy with a quid plus shipping if it helps a collector, I have no use for it and as you say it has no value, but i dont think i can ship it for that little?

Guess best bet is finding one in Germany?

A half decent day at the carboot. A big stack of ps1 games, a big stack of ps1 OPMs, a ps1 lightgun, and a few ps2 titles. Oh, and Gotcha Force for £3 :D Spent about £17 total. (Crappy laptop pics ahoy!)

Nice :) Gotcha Force is one of those titles that command a high price but can actually be found in the wild. I got mine from a flea market aswell, a huge flea market actually with multiple commercial reseller stands. They probably had no clue :lol:

Anyways, here's my latest :)

First up we have a free(!) lot from a fellow member. Not sure he's okay with saying so I'll keep his name secret :lol: They're in pretty average condition with a lot of stickered manuals (and one missing manual), but I certainly won't complain :mrgreen:

Image

Next, today's flea result. Pretty pleased with the Mario clock, good condition Famiclone and some very cheap PS3 games.

Image

And last but not least, the assortment of arrivals by mail, mostly from classifieds. And yes, the GBA is what you think it is, feels right at home next to my Pink one :twisted: The Wendy GBC was dirt cheap and I'm very happy to finally own a complete Super Off Road again almost 20 years after throwing away the box as a kid.

Had a trip to Old Skool in Leek yesterday and picked up:
Megadrive
Mega Games 3 BOXED
Mercs- CIB

PS2
Capcom Classic Collection Vol 2-CIB

I nearly picked up an NTSC copy of Operation Logic Bomb for the Snes at £5.99 but didn't as Id never heard of it. Youtubed it when I got home and it looked like a pretty good top down shooter. Has anyone played it?

As expected the car boot was very quiet today, I still managed to find 2 games I like. Spyro is missing the front cover but it's pretty expensive on eBay so I decided to make do until I find one complete in box.

Bought this on eBay, I like my Sonic running at 60hz.
