Good to know you weren't still in them. :D

I came back from Revival with a boxed CDI-210 and 7 films (mostly Star Trek), a boxed Super 32X and 4 boxed games, a Supercard DSOneI flash cartridge and an Amstrad PPC640 (Thanks to Davideo).
No pics at the moment as i'm knackered from lugging all that lot home in my suitcase :lol:
I hope you got a bargain because damn most of the stuff there was extortionate. Only bargains I picked up was a new boxed CD32 game and Dr Muto for the PS2.
There were a few good deals to be had, mostly at the end of the day Sunday when sellers just wanted to get rid!Quote:

Extortionate in what way....
Because the traders have to pay for..
Van rentals
Fuel costs
Accomodation
Event stall costs......plus much more.
And just to beak the myth too, these machines cant be magically created, they also need to be bought and paid for in the first place.
Do you know what crap and costs i went through to import a TRS model 3 from Holland because you cant find them in the UK.
Be a bit fair guys ok, just the pure sweat and man hours involved in getting the stock there and all set up so you can all have a full choice of what ever tickles your fancy...or just so you can walk past the tables calling out "too much" at the top of yours voices.
After all, F'k me we are only trying to feed our families not buy Rolls Royces.
:(
I have no issue in paying fair prices Bas buddy, even matching prices i would be paying over at ebay, and i understand that they have their costs but some (not all) of them really did try and take the mickey.
There were some decently priced stuff and there were some that were out to make as much as they could.
There was one seller by the entrance who i went back to a few times cause he kept restocking his table. His attitude was, he makes a few quid, we get games/hardware at a decent price but customers keep coming back. I bought a couple of items from him and he haggled with me on every price.
Hit and miss with prices, they are always a bit more at events, as they have expenses to cover, but you can still pick the odd thing up... I bought a boxed gba gsame, and then some c64 tapes from the amibay stand.. just as it helps the site, probably never play them.
I was tempted to buy an Atari Jaguar, but it had sold when I went and looked again on the saturday.
I know TC (along with BluesBrothers) have been extremely busy and set aside x number of weeks to prepare for this where as he's sidelined a few of my projects and apologised for not answering emails immediately, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been earning in that time, so to hear such things must be galling. No one want to work for nothing.
In saying that, carry on though as I wasn't able to make it over and fingers crossed I might be able to pick up a few things that didn't sell lol :thumbsup2:
Is 116cm enough to fit a CBM Pet and a TRS-80???
