Sony TRV255 Digital8 Camcorder + nice roomy carry case + high capacity battery (the one that lasts for 12 hours fully charged) + 3 digital8 tapes for ?290.

Had to get the battery off ebay US for a reasonable price but that's some impressive **** for what is a solid camcorder and quite a few goodies.

This wasn't today but it is a bargain.
I happened to find myself in Wood Green on the way home one day and thought id stop off at Shekhana to try and pick up a DC Arcade Stick.
The arrogant ****wit behind the counter said(after sucking his teeth at me for a bit) 'Nah bruv,we got these though,tenner' and pulled out a boxed set of Twin Sticks.
So i snapped them up. Thats about the only bargain ive ever had,normally get ripped off all the time.

A proper PAL version of AoS can fetch quite abit now id rekon ?40-?50 min, because it really is so rare.

[erhgiez]

Lol dont worry I checked it wasnt a fake, and it had poster and all original documents with it plus its in really mint condition I was well chuffed, it was really funny as I was asking the game manager why he didnt have any castlevania DS on show and he said it was because they were sold out, I asked him if he expected it to become like aria of sorrow and how that was really rare and he said how it wasnt really rare as they had just had someone trade one in I was like ****ING SHOW ME NOW!!!
