    Hi

    Have been living in London for the past few months and I think the work retro there just means old or ****............ I can not find any collectors

    Bought a megadrive 2, a nomad and 23 games for 30 pounds. Just looked on adverts.ie and saw someone selling a nomad for 250 euro on its own...

    Also bought a master system with 10 games for 6 pounds.

    Got a NES and N64 for 10 pounds ( for both )

    It is brilliant.............

    Thank you. For making us all feel sad :(

    I know what you mean though. I go over to liverpool a few times a year (not for football btw) and yes, stuff is dirt cheap there. Plus people look at you when you buy it as if to say why would you want that crap.

    Pay no attention to the prices some people try to sell stuff for on Adverts.

    Well done, nice find.

    A tenner for a NES and N64. That's a great bargain. :pac:. Good find.

    I'm trying to find a 72 pin connector for my NES and I was expecting to pay €15 for it.

    I saw an Atari 2600 boxed for a tener in a charity shop a few days ago. The box was cellotaped shut so I didn't see what was inside. Hope it went to someone good.

    Nah I didn't buy it. I only ever played the 2600jr and I doubt I'd get much out of one today. If it was a jr I'd have got for the colours but I just know I wouldn't use it.

    It's gone now cause I called in again today. I think it was a SVP Vincent's around Aungier St.

    I think the best bargain I ever got was Siphon Filter on Ps1 for £.05p in Gamestation in Glasgow.

    Apparently it was a "write off". Don't know what that means with regards to Playstation games but it plays fine. Also got a memory card for 99pence. Their other PS1 games had proper prices on them though.
