My hoarding skills, however…. Well nothing too interesting today, but I did find a new (ish) copy of Guitar Hero Aerosmith which is rare as sin. I recon in a few years I might make a profit off it 🙂 Top row was multibuy; Blockbuster handed over a Singstar PS3 + mics bundle for £13 […]

Question: what was the cheapest item I got this week was? Answer: The one worth the most. Cat, meet Cream. Cream, meet boxed original SNES plus Mario All-Stars/Word, some Yoshi game and 2 original controllers. SNES, meet US style crazy-prices. Like, err… $5. FTW! Other than the highlight, there were a few other gems. Boxed […]

I think I blagged half of the PS2’s best games today 🙂 I guess staying out of town for a week and a half really does allow it to revive from my last expedition. Anyway, best deal was far and away the SingStar bundle of 5 games + mics (to the left of the pic) […]

Ok, I never got any Batman stuff. That was about all I didn’t get though. Jesus, it rains, I almost don’t go out, I relocate to the dealer hell that is an old covered barn for the usual scrimping of one or two PS2 games…. and the entire *planet’s* worth of retro games turns up, […]

Yesterday’s trip to town went surprisingly well. GameStation have followed GAME in dropping PS2 prices – 4 for £20s are now 3 for £10, and 3 for £10s are now 3 for £5. So I picked up 9 for £25. And then 2x Champions: Return to Arms and two more SingStar Bollywood for £20. Don’t […]

I waited even longer for this than the N64. And when I got one of those, 4 more flooded in within a few weeks. Here’s hoping a bunch of Dreamcasts turn up then, eg? For the grand sum of £3, this one came with a VMU, one controller, power and RF cables, HOTD 2 and […]

When eBay brought in their forced “Free P&P” system for all Video Games sales a few weeks back, I expected bidders to just continue bidding the same total price as they did with postage costs listed seperately. I.e a game they’d bid £2 on with £1 postage, they’d now bid £3 with “free” postage. For […]

Not so much good hoarding today, some dealer has found out about the my local car boot and unfortunately wakes before I do. Is 7am not early enough?!? Still, luckily he’s 1) only nabbing all the retro stuff, and 2) quite a nice guy really. So if he turns up here, say hi, and err… […]

It’s amazing what you can do with two days free. I created the UK’s first public video game price tracking website. 😉 www.inaudible.co.uk/games/pc/ Well, it was a little longer than 2 days I guess, but most of the frontend was done this week. As for content, there’s not so much right now, but I’m constantly […]

I said ICO was going up, didn’t I? See: UK Prices. UK Data. iGPC’s code. OpenFlashChart’s chart. And if it looks familiar, that’s because VGPC use the same chart display program. Just happens to be a coincidence that’s it’s the easiest to use, and most suitable charting system for my needs – I did go […]
