Threat title fixed for you!

Portsmouth you say... right, I will be down rummaging at the weekend then, snapping up those copies of Moonstone before v8.. I mean anyone else finds them!

I do actually look in most charity shops quickly if I pass one just in case there is something good. They never realise how much most things are really worth and still silly price tags on most stuff. I did see a SNES the other week in one, but it didn't look in great condition so I didn't bother. Sometimes see the original version of the PSX too, but again normally not in great condition, plus I already own a couple so I'm not that bothered.

In Brighten though there is this huge second hand/antique shop with each little section of the shop given to different second hand sellers and you can find a lot of retro computer and console hardware and software in there. Unfortunately they tend to know its real value, or stick high prices on most of it. But you sometimes spot a bargain. They had some Gamecubes in there in good condition with a £2 price tag last time I looked, but I didn't really need another GC. Should have bought one really as a spare at that price though.

Anyone else look in charity shops? Or found any retro bargains in them?

It's just like car boot sales, but with most of the items actually being of some worth.
