    I sold it about 2 years later for ?95, and just to add insult to injury, I left the ?2.99 price sticker on when I sent it the buyer (I AM EVIL!!)
    He's either going to think you're one of the most evil men in the history of videogaming or that you put it on to take the piss

            jezes man, u could just imagine the scene

            to set the scene.....

            its a warm sunny saturday morning and our poor unsuspecting gamer claps his eyes on the postman walking up the driveway, he can barely breath form the anticipation, as he runs to the door, he signs the the recorded delivery slip and waves the postie good bye, "finally i can sample team andromeda's finst hour and it was a real bargin ::does the touch up shuffle:: he gently lifts the seal of the package and removes the game, quickly looking for sighns of imperfection, no it is perfect the cds are mint as is the case except for that sticker but that can be removed, " i wonder where he got it from?

            ....

            "cash generator?"

            "for how much.....??!/21*(?$&?""

            "a young man from preston dies from shock, once again games are to blame, news at eleven"


            or maybe not

            still evil tho!

              Went back to my favourite Cash Converters today.

              Picked up:
              PSOne ?25
              Abes Exodus ?4
              Tomb Raider ?4
              Riven ?4
              X2 ?4
              Tempest X3 ?4
              Tony Hawks 2 ?4
              Ridge Racer 4 ?4
              Tobal no1 ?4

              MD Art Alive (why?...i dont know) ?2
              MD Gynoug ?2

              All that added up comes to ?61 but he only charged me ?57. Threw in a free memory card for the PSOne. When i got home found Medal of Honour in with Ridge Racer plus Tony Hawks 1 and instructions in with Tony 2. I love it when they dont check their incoming stuff.

                  Gamestation in Newport has a copy of Metal Slug 1 for NeoGeo MVS for ?50... I didn't couldn't be arsed to check the quality as I'm not a collector, but I thought that it may be a good deal for those who are interested (?).

                  I picked up Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance on the XBox for ?25. I've not got the PS2 version so it was a good deal - I thought!

                  I also picked up 5 CDs for ?40 in MVC which was nice!

                      Whilst browsing the net for information on chipping my version 3 PS2, i came across a bargain - NEW !! Playstation2, Vice City, The Getaway, WWE Smackdown for ?99 (+?2.99 p&P)

                      Looking at the price i knew it was wrong so i ordered it. It took a week to be delivered. They acknowledged they'd cocked up the price but still let me have it. They also cocked up the debit from my card cos only ?92 has come out.

                      Think i did quite well.

                      P.S. The item has been pulled from the website.

                          The usual mistake people make when they see something like this is order 10 of them and tell all theirs mates. Then nobody gets one.

                              Oh, and for those who have not yet purchased a copy of ICO. There is a second hand copy going for ?10 in the cardboard case at the cash converters/pawn shop at the bottom of Newport High Street!

                              Nice buy that is!
