Ok, I changed the title of this thread so that when I do find stuff worth mentioning I dont end up cloging the boards with multiple threads.

Feel free to drop in any deals from the big chains or discounts.

Hey all,

Just a heads up on a good internet thrift shop/trader site for the UK. Im not sure how many brits we have representing here now but I shall put this advice up anyway.

Most of the items on here are pickup and private sales, so be wary- however there are some fantastic deals to be had. Sega Mega Drive with tons of games for just a tenner. A ps2 slim with loads of games fully equiped for £25. (Seeing as how most consoles on their own go for £35-40 on ebay thats a good deal. And that is within just 10 miles of me.

((Sadly.. that PS2 is in Luton.. and well yea.. I dont have a flak jacket and a band of mercenaries at and hand to help me pick it up. :P))

Keep your eye on it lads and ladies.. great place I have used before and recomend.

Playstation 2 Slim is currently only £40.00 in Sainsburys. The tag still said £110 or so, but when I asked at the checkout the lower price came up. As far as I am aware this is a nationwide price drop from sainsburys. In store Only. Not bad when most pre-owned consoles are still dropping at £45+ on ebay.

Note: this includes silver versions.

Just heard from a GAME employee that they will be no longer stocking and taking in PS2 games soon ( :( ) and because of this all PS2 games currently 3 for £10 will be going down to 3 for £5. I assume a similar drop will occur with the 3 for £20 games.

All starts after the May Day holiday.

I wonder if that includes gamestation, if it does I'm screwed because I was looking forward to start collecting PS2 games without having to buy them on eBay. stupid me sold all my consoles to buy the newer consoles, now I'm collecting I have to buy them all again... :(

the only place i know that you can get really good deals is cex.co.uk (uk.webuy.com)

the only thing is that they don't really do retro stuff, and if you see any, its not a good deal. And consoles aren't always the cheapest. Buying psx games from them is a waste of time as you can get them cheaper on ebay.

But ps2, xbox, xbox 360, even ps3 games are usually at very good prices.... all used of course
