Title: Boot sale finds
Post by: frood42 on May 05, 2008, 05:56:54 AM
This weekend usually marks the begining of the season for me because of the Bank Holiday Weekend.  My local has been running for a few weeks now but today was the first with any significant finds.

Thanks for sharing. Pictures always make these things more interesting. :)


I miss the excitement of finding something good at a car boot sale but I'm not in the mood to be collecting stuff I won't play now.

Dreamcast: Giant Killers & NFL Blitz £3 for both
PS2: Network Access Disk £1

SNES: Prince of Persia (US) £1.50, U.N. Squadron £1

[img width=417 height=426]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f4/frood42/DSCN2332.jpg[/img]

And todays star find was four boxes of games for various systems.  I haven't started sorting yet but from a quick look there are games for C64, Vic 20, Spectrum, Dragon 32, Atari 400/800, BBC and even a couple of MSX.  I am assuming the chap who was selling them used to be a trader many years ago as one box (bottom left) has quite a few duplicates.  Not sure how many in total, there must be at least 200 in the box front right. £10 the lot.

Holy shit came to mind.  We need to have these 'boot sales' here in the US; unless we do and I'm completely uncultured.

We don't seem to get many people having yard sales here in the UK.  I remember as a kid our next door neighbour was returning to the US after living in England for a few years and she decided to hold a yard sale, the rest of the street thought she was potty.

Anyway I got round to sorting out all the tapes:

[img width=568 height=426]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f4/frood42/DSCN2336.jpg[/img]

A grand total of 481 boxes

26 were kids nurserry rhyme cassetes   :-\
144 Were Commodore 64
1 was Commodore 16/+4
13 were Vic 20
47 were BBC micro
9 were Electron
16 were Dragon 32
11 were Spectrum
14 were Amstrad
1 was MSX
5 were Atari 400/800 (2 disk, 2 Cart & 1 tape)
1 was Oric

And that leaves 193 duplicates of the above including 41 copies of Laser Lord (http://"http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekplay.cgi?title=Laser+Lord&pub=Century+City+Software+Ltd&year=1985&id=0010574&game=/games/l/LaserLord.tzx.zip&emu=3&aspect=3") for the Spectrum  :o

After a couple of weeks without booting due to being on holiday I was really looking forward to this bank holiday weekend.
Slightly disappointed this morning, it had been raining very early on so only the die hard sellers turned up which made for quite a small boot.

Two PS2 games: Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec £2 and Canis Canem Edit £3
Boxed SNES: GP-1 50p

Hopping for a better turnout tomorrow.
