Charity Shop and Car Boot Finds

Found anything cool at your local charity shop or carboot - post it here!

I got a copy of Bill Lougdice's Vintage Games book last week for £1 - surprisingly odd find in local Cancer Research branch

There was a charity shop where I used to live that had loads of PS1 games but I never bought any of them. They also had an original Xbox in the window at one point.

they had a pile of those really thick strategy guides too: gta, dragon age etc - but I've never bought those things (they cost nearly as much as the game new).Â I might go back and get the pokemon one for my friends kid, as he's pokemon mad

today I found Dracula 2: Resurrections for PS1 in a charity shop near work - no idea about this game - but worth a 50p punt (discs a bit scratched)

Just went in my local ones and nothing. Not a sniff, no that's a first for me.

local charity shop has Descent for Ps1 and Max Payne on Xbox in window - might grab those in the morning as they were only a quid each.Â

A charity shop just opened in my village, nothing even vaguely video game related!

I probably shouldn't post this. But I've had some pretty good finds over the past year or so. I picked all this up from the same place, though not at the same time. There's a big car boot/sunday market type thing here in Birmingham on Sundays.

I got a Panasonic 3DO FZ-1 for £3. Just the system, but it works. The fact that it only does S-Video means I've hardly used it though.

A boxed model 1 Saturn for a tenner.

A blue debug PS1 for £3 (the magic number). I had to change the PSU as it had a weird non-standard type and the CD-Drive as it didn't work. It plays CD-R's without a modchip.

A boxed MD1 with controllers/leads, a multi-tap and a few games for £11.

all the boots around my way are on fields - so they've all been rained off except 1 over the last month - but i did get phantasy star online ver2 for 99p - plenty of ps2 for sale there, but i don't touch that.

sunshine might bring out a few bargains.....

Some great scores there, especially on the 3DO and the Saturn!Â
