So, I have £50 to spend this month, and some eBay auctions already on the go to add to that pot. More to follow! :)

Disappointment

Popped into Edinburgh yesterday for a spot of shopping, had absolutely no luck though. I was looking for old computer games (surprise surprise) and all that I found was over-priced, rubbish, or both.

I was in one shop (well I say shop, it was more a room containing piles of electronics and records, I could barely even get the door open) and saw an Amiga 500 hanging (quite literally) off one of the shelves. No games or box or anything, but I thought I'd ask about it anyway. £80! Like fuck anybody in their right mind would pay such a price. £60 he said, though, if you're willing to forgo the power supply... Obviously I left in good haste.

All I could turn up in all the shops I was in was sports titles, for the most part, and not even good ones. Really not what I'm interested in buying...

So, obviously, when I got home I got onto eBay and bid on a shitload of stuff there. I have a disease :(

Should probably be kept away from eBay

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Mine was fairly decent, delicious turkey dinner two days in a row isn't something I'm going to complain about! I got a lot of CDs, couple of DVDs and smelly stuff, sweets and other things. Here's a picture of some of the CDs:



I've been going a bit eBay mad, bidding on a fair few things and making offers here and there, if I win everything I'll be a couple of hundred down easy, oh well. It'll be worth it to get all those new old-games and shit ;) If I win any, I'll take pics and post up on here.

Looking forward to getting my Neo Geo Pocket Color but it won't be for a good week and a half at least, thanks to the complete lack of post this time of year. Think there's only 3 days of post coming in the next week or so, and there hasn't been any since Friday! Be looking forward to normal service resuming after the New Year.

Speaking of the New Year, I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do for it. Could just go to the pub but I'd rather not, but it might be the only option, don't know of anyone who's having a house party or anything.

Oh well, wish me luck on my eBay travels!

Anxiety

Man I hate the last hours of eBay auctions when I'm in the lead, it's always inevitable that I'll be winning the item until the very last second when I'll be outbid by a penny :(

But maybe this time will be different! I hope so anyway, I really want to win that damned Neo Geo Pocket Color!
