    ...Shop in the city selling lots of good bargain retro games that people didn't really know about would you share the info with the retro community? Or would you keep it to yourself to get all the bargains every week.

    Would you tell? 13 votes

    Yes, let everybody have a chance to grab a bargain

    ...what did you find??! :pac:

    It really depends what the shop is selling. If it was just full of bog standard stuff I'd tell people as it would be of no use to me really. I pretty much have every major console I need. If anything I have too many considering all the multiples.

    If it was an odd shop selling prototypes and other super rare stuff...there's not a chance! But that's never going to happen.

    Why does every shop have 7 copies of old Fifa games? Is it some sort of law ta I am unaware of. (No sir you can't trade unless you have at least 47 copies of Fifa for any old system.)

    Well, if you are going to release identical-but-for-smallest-details Fifa games every bloody year, and two in a world cup year, then you are going to wind up with tons of them.
    It is interesting that there is never the same number of ProEvo or ISS titles lying around as they weren't updated with anything like the frequency, lacking the licence from FIFA.
    And so, the FIFA languish in an unboxed, naked state in a shoe box under the counter, awaiting the day the shop owner has a heart attack, the store is closed and all the Megadrive and Snes carts of the game end up in either

    a: A Skip
    b: A charity shop
    c: A skip behind the charity shop because even they can't shift them!
