That's 5 British pounds but DAMN!  I keep hoping one day I'll be driving by a yard sale and see Magical Chase...

f*ck yeah!  usually I'd be jelous or something, but instead I'm actually pleased.

I still kind of hate the guy that got an LT for $5 though.


LT for $5? No way. I am totally envious. And despair :(

OK. Joking.


I know dude :(

So, let me get this straight... over there in England you have "Car Boot (Trunk)" sales? Does this mean folks are parked by the curb, trunk open, and selling stuff? Or is it an auction where people bid on the contents of a car boot(trunk)?

Still...damn!

Oh, a PCE Duo, ok, that makes more sense.  Otherwise I was gonna say this should be moved to either Chit Chat or Fighting Street, since your topic seems to indicate that you found Jesus Christ. :D

A car boot sale is usually in some big parking lot or something, and you just shove all you can into the trunk, drive there, then set it all out on a table. I'm not sure if there's an American equivilant?

Ah right.  Oh yeah, I've actually been to one in NYC!  Yeah, that's it.

Well anyway, I've posted this elsewhere, but I've just ordered Parodius (£9) Twinbee (£9), Star Parodier (£12) and Soldier Blade (£18).  Now I'm hoping I've understood correctly that they're boxed...

Not to count my chickens, but I'm hoping I've saved myself over £40 there.

Awesome find!  Even if it needs some help (might wanna do the caps as preventive maintenance, even if it works fine), that's a sweet deal.

That is normal for yard sales. I found a Sega Genesis with SEGA CD for 5 dollars, with hook ups, and controllers. I also got a PSX that is able to spin with disc open, for 5 dollars. The wife made the husband sell it.

Yeah, an LT on a yard sale for $5 is just very normal and everyday occurrences.

Why be sad that some guy got an LT for 5 pounds?! That's amazing!!
Working and in great condition too. Damn, it's like a dream.

Great job on the $5 Duo, as well. Love finding great deals on gaming hardware and software.

Me sad? lol, en contraire :D

I've got my ol' LT also almost for free. Tho, it isn't in a such nice shape (some yellowing).
