It didn't stop ssnowing the other day, Battling the elements I manages a pretty good thift, let check some highlights and finds.
Loads of PS2s out in the charity Shops, Cheap to buy If you want one £20 each, Nothing in them for resale at that price.
Black Fat PS2
cash £17 trade £22
Sliver Fat PS2
cash £20 trade 26
Picking one up if you haven't got one tho for £20,
everywhere else is more the £40 mark, bargain! and at the very least getting a pad and a few memory cards with it, or a G-con 45.
I don't Think that signs in the right place some how, But it appears people have being heeding its directions and going down the hole anyways, even left there can of special brew behind.
I think this mite be the actual entrance to Tunnel B1.
Street fighter Ex3 99p
Sword of destiny 99p
Kings field IV 99P
(Cash converters is having a sale at the moment all games and DVDs are 99p each)
just cause 2 PC £1.99
Dino crisis 2 £1.99
Ys strategy £2.99
(charity shops)
And finally for the games War Gods on Ps1 it was £5 on ebay, I picked it up after finding out about the Mortal kombat engine used in the game from last weeks MK posted I have played it today and its pretty good like Mk4 with different guys to play as.
And the books Are the full collection of a tale of fire and Ice AKA the game of thrones books, I found the 2nd book for £1 a while back, But having no luck finding the other books in the series on there own seeing all 5 books for £9.99 it was a no brainier, With them holding anything fro £5 - £8 each in a normal book retailer.
Block Buster
And in other news blockbuster going into administration, cheaky they just hoodwinked me out of my £2 for pre-ordeing GTA 5 a day before this came to light.
Talking to the guy in there said my local store is remaning open for now and that's great for me anyways, Its not like anyone else cares, the most remarkable thing anyone thinks of when you say blockbusters round here's is, recalling the time some one sprayed Cockbusters on the front of the shutters, witch I mite add was piss your pants funny.
I can use my £2 pre-order in store as credit but still you new this was going to happen and you give a push on pre orders and vouchers.
No sales on ether, everything is still the same price, Above you can see the pile of PSP games they have had in there since the beginning of time, No one buys them because the bottom price on the is £8.99 for the best part of a year I have being waiting for some sort of deal or sale on them, and still when the company is down the pan the price stay the same.
don't worry dissidia final fantasy 1 and 2 that I keep picking up and checking everytime I am in blockbuster one day when your priced up at 99p I will find you a new home.
So If this continues will there be any mainstream Video game retailers left? Will there be anymore shops on the high street at all?
I would have to take an optimistic outlook on this, most of the shops that are shutting where a bit pointless, amazon and play are cheaper, less shops will bring more people to ebay to buy games from me, and if more shops do ended up by the wayside at the very least lets all hope its Grainger Games next to go under nahaha.
