Cauterize's UK Car Boot Sale Thread!

[Alabama-Shrimp]

you have found some top hsit and i see from the prices that CEX are desperate to get rid of their Dreamcast stuff!

What boot sales you going to for all that? we have a few in Wakefield but im too lazy to get up as all the finds dried up about 2 years ago was getting loads and then nothing.

do you manage to get rid of most of it on the ebay as normally the stuff you get tends to be the very common stuff.



i know its not game related but i got an 80's games called Crossbows and Catapults for about £2.50 boxed, sold it that week on the ebay for £70 to someone in America! nice

[Tynstar]

Crossbows and Catapults kicked a large about of ass!

[cauterize]

Right, its official, i suck! I havent posted on here for quite a while, so im gonna post my good finds from a while back as i totally forgot!

The last lot of finds i posted was on the 4th Dec! 

Anyways! Here goes...

5th December, i traded in a huge load of old consoles i paid next to nothing for and got this lot for free with the credit note

Prices for most games are long forgotten, but they were all under priced. I remember this well because i know im a cheapskate and refuse to pay much for games at all!
I do remember Smash Bros was 99p, as was Tiny Toons Wacky Sports

[img width=700 height=525]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/cauterize4/finds4/IMG_0450CustomCustom.jpg[/img]

This Megaman toy was found in the department store, TK Maxx in manchester. It was in the clearance for £1 cause the box was damaged. Didnt care though as i just wanted to build it

When i arrived home on the 7th December, these arrived in the post from eBay

I hope not but do I need to get PAL SMS games or any PAL games for that matter.

[cauterize]

I hope not but do I need to get PAL SMS games or any PAL games for that matter.

just drop me a line if you decide on any
do you have a trade list?

[Alabama-Shrimp]

are you having a laugh?? is he having a laugh?... i checked out your ebay shop and thought you was taking the piss with the prices on what is almost all common shit that can be picked up dead cheap, BUT after looking at your ebay feedback people are actually buying it!

Well done! keep going and all that stuff if you can make money from this then great it just goes to show that some people will pay on ebay than go look for the stuff themselves as you have even sold stuff that i have listed and not managed to shift

[Izret101]

I just bought a copy of Quak....

That was expensive and not very intelligent of me....

Caut i am interested in picking up some Mortal Kombat games from you too.
I see those "rental editions" on eBay alot but i would rather get one from you and a few other games so shipping won't be a total killer.
That is if you don't mind parting with some of them... In the (not so distant?)future.

[cauterize]

are you having a laugh?? is he having a laugh?... i checked out your ebay shop and thought you was taking the piss with the prices on what is almost all common shit that can be picked up dead cheap, BUT after looking at your ebay feedback people are actually buying it!

Well done! keep going and all that stuff if you can make money from this then great it just goes to show that some people will pay on ebay than go look for the stuff themselves as you have even sold stuff that i have listed and not managed to shift

Heh cheers mate, some things im shocked at myself... I try to go for the middle price on most my items but as you stated there are some mad people out there who want these items Ill keep it up for sure

I just bought a copy of Quak....

That was expensive and not very intelligent of me....

Caut i am interested in picking up some Mortal Kombat games from you too.
I see those "rental editions" on eBay alot but i would rather get one from you and a few other games so shipping won't be a total killer.
That is if you don't mind parting with some of them... In the (not so distant?)future.

Shame you're not into Qwak, i guess its not for everyone though...

As for the Mortal Kombat 3 Rental, drop me a line, ill let it go for alot cheaper than i listed it for, i want to help out my forums friends
Let me know what else tempted you too

[Tynstar]

You find an amazing amount of stuff.

Actually i haven't even gotten Qwak yet... I just meant the fact thati spent 30$s on the game was not a good idea for me...

As for the MK games i am once again struggling with bills as the hours at work are very hit or miss. If you can hold onto a good looking copy for me for a bit that would be cool
Maybe we can work out something were i can pick up a few MK games from you at once so i don't get annihilated by shipping prices....
