      The best car boot deal I've had is picking up a US 'Turbo Grafix 16' for ?4.00. Not too bad me thinks.

        Panzer Dragoon Saga 75p
        MegaDrive with all released games ?2
        Neo Geo AES with all metal slug/Kof/samurai games - 50p
        Out Run sit-in arcade cabinet with board (mint) - 23p

        seems to be a bit more honest here, edge was terrible for people exaggerating, or even just lying.
        Hmmm..... Wouldn't be talking about me by any chance would you?

            a fully boxed sega saturn vcd card for ?5, sold it on ebay for ?45 a couple of years back.

            i dont do boot sales that much now as the sellers are wising up.

            was at one the other week and this guy had just a super famicom sitting on the ground not even on a bag, wanting ?30 for it! no leads or anything,
            he took the hump when i offered him a ?2 for it, well i had no way of knowing if it worked and neither did he.

                I got Parasite Eve for a fiver yesterday. The box is a bit messy (easily replaceable though) and there's no instruction book but the discs are absolutely mint. Gonna put it up for sale later as its not really my cup'o'tea .

                      Finally, i got something decent.
                      Majoras mask, complete, mint, and Perfect Dark, complete, very good- ?3 each.
                      I'm happy at that, restored my faith a little.

                      Rich M: i wasn't referring to you, no, but some people were a little over the top.

                        I started to have a look for this sort of stuff about 3 months a go and, after trips to two car boots and several visits to local charity shops, I finally got lucky. 6 N64 games which they had just put on the shelf at a new Charity shop for 50p each. Best of the bunch was Mario Kart, which I already have and sold for ?12 on eBay.

                        Quite interesting, but if I keep going, I'll be doing it for the love, not the money.

                            Bloody hell, the people on this board must go to some very decent car-boot sales, the most I ever find at my local ones are unboxed and dented SNES carts ( crap games too ). I think the most valuable thing I ever saw was an unboxed Pikachu N64, I almost fainted.

                                nottingham car boots seem to be full of the aforementioned jokers including a woman who wouldnt budge from ?20 for a boxed saturn. sounds okay but the box was beaten to **** and when i looked inside it had no RF lead and no controller, just a power lead.

                                best thing i ever got was a PAL saturn (unboxed) with one controller, cables, resi and SF alpha 2 for ?5

                                havent been in ages tho.
