It just struck me today that, possibly other than Shadow Of The Colossus, We Love Katamari is pretty much the only highish value game that I’ve not seen in the wild. Well, once, in an eBay bundle, but other than that… nada, nothing, nowhere. Which surely makes it damn rare. It’s also a major cult […]

Rainy sunday gave a rest from the epic hoards of late. This week I came home with a load of PS1 games, an MD bundle & a few classics… Yes, Ico Limited Edition. The price chart on VGPC has gone almost vertical, meaning prices for ICO are going up up up and up some more. […]

You ever get that feeling in shops, when you’re in there every few days and they never have a thing even remotely good, and you know they’re just saving up for the big one? Such was the case with a newly opened charity shop in town, whom since opening a few months back haven’t even […]

Seriously, how many times have you had a bidder cancel a bid on an item, using the “Entered wrong amount” option when they’re clearly just taking the piss, no longer wanting to pay as much for an item as they did a day ago, at the same time confusing and alienating all previous bidders -especially […]

Went out today with Alex’s voice in my head… buy less, buy class. Something like that. And I would have… except, the only reason I came home with so little today is probably more to do with the rain yesterday. So, after jumping over puddles in a field, here’s what I came home with today. […]

As I ship abroad and get numerous foreign buyers for my eBay listings (hint for wannabe sellers – this creates a much greater sale value than UK only listings do) I try to make them feel at home as best as I can, including pre-translating things in replys, and saying thanks in feedback in someone’s […]

Last time the school near my house ran a car boot, I came home with a PS2 wheel, Happy Feet and a Super Plexus. This time I got a little more 🙂 Everything from the top to the row of PS1 games was split between 2 boxes. I noticed Resi Evil 2 and asked for […]

Testing games. One thing I do far too much of, and the big boys don’t. Still, I don’t like to brag, but this does mean iG is fundementaly physically and morally better than most high street stores, and they’re all going to hell. Except GameStation, who at least *claim* to put them through a “rigorous […]

Sealed. PS1. Game. Three words I never thought I’d mutter the likes of outside the 90s and hugely expensive eBay auctions. But no. In a field just outside of York, UK, a lovely young lady – whom presumably was too classy for the likes of RoadRunner – provided just about the best car boot buy […]

1. Game name. Accessories and consoles are split out and listed below the games. 2. Genre. Cos VGPC had it and I figured “why not…”. 3. Date, of last price update, cos I do them manually atm. 4. Minimum observed eBay price as of last update. 5. Maximum… 6. Profit from the minimum price when […]
