    It will be THE place to go for hideously overpriced retro games, I think that's pretty much a given.

    Indeed, bound to be top dollar, and also having to pay a large entrance fee for the privilege! Ebay is THE place for retro games! If you are not in a rush you can often land a good price on what you need.

    I always resent paying an entrance fee to a place that is trying to sell you stuff, personally; I don't and walk away: and to try to charge £5 for getting in there early when charging £2 for off-peak time, that speaks for rip-off. I say if you want stuff, use ebay; you pay less, know what you want you can get and you also have recourse if the item is faulty which you don't from a stall.

    Thres loads of these almost every month, well up north

    The prices usually are Ebay or a bit less
    One difference is a few can be haggled with if you want to buy a few things
    Ok also there's no postage costs
    And the odd bargain
    And no dealing with ebays smeg
    And some have websites
    But yeah can be a bit of a waste of time

    Like a lot of modern carboot sales

    In saying that I always end up buying Atari games

    ITS MY WEEKNESS!!
