Nice pick up on the x-wing, Starwars Fan, nice to see an original sw x wing with out the battle damage stickers applied, rare in the wild, we could not resist applying them back in the day from empire onwards, good value as its got the canopy :)

thanks, I've kind of been eying them up for a while, the last two I saw were one for £5 with no cables, games or controllers, and on the same day, one with a few games for £100.. nope, just nope!

still makes me wonder why people think they can charge more than CEX who offer a warranty, when they're just some shifty looking guy at a boot sale *shrugging emoji*

think a lot of people look at top dollar price, ignore condition, and then assume that's what people are going to pay!!

You can still get a few bargains from car boots, but a lot of so called pro sellers who do it for a living are asking stupid prices for stuff. The same goes for charity shops, i can see that they are selling for charity and i give to a select few that are close to my heart. But some of them ask for top retail and wonder why the back rooms are overspilling and the footfall is dropping. Price it reasonably then sell it on and sell through the stock ( sorry its the old retailer in me) :lol:

The last car boot i went to which as strawberry fields near Bridlington was ace, i got loads of bargains 8)
