I understand the PS3 mate. I was in exactly the same boat, I bought one (console only) for £30. It worked but was crazy loud because of the fan. I ended up paying to get the thermals redone. I kept it and thought it was worth it because theyre quite rare!
I don't usually buy consoles [I did today funnily enough] For £40 I think you did the right thing walking away. Can't wait for next weeks video. 😉 A little bit of foreshadowing right at the end there, haha. And just in case you know anyone local who is able and willing to test out those light guns itd be a big help.
I bought one for £20. All because of the risk last year. I'm going to get it fixed at some point because they are a fortune. Also that 360 it could be the band. Take it out with some tweezers give it a clean put it back and you should be golden.
Good pick ups mate. Despite that PS3 being a backward compatible version I also would have left it at £40 as well - they do sell for a lot nowadays but there are quite a few bad ones around with ylod. I personally would have been interested at £20 but not £40. That 360 could have dust or dirt on the opening mechanisms which cause it not to close properly.
Hi Mitch can confirm that ps3 works fine I end up getting it for £25 as I could have got my money back at that I fully expected it to not work however I'm currently playing through black on it. I was shocked I got him down to £25. He who dares and all that lol
I paid £50 for a reverse ps3 all boxed + Inserts Flashing red light cost me a further 60 to get it going 🙄 Paid a £5 for an OG xbox the other week bit dusty, bit of a wipe and works/looks perfect 👌
I have so many backwards PS3 consoles, probably 80% don't work, unless it's from a 'private' seller at the boots with cables and controller I wouldn't touch them otherwise.
I get why you didn't buy the PS3 i really do "The whole i cant lose money no matter what almost becomes a religion " but sometimes you have to step outside your comfort zone .. if you risk nothing you gain nothing ..
Come on man, you try and preach to us about leaving people to unpack and literally the first stall you are at you are asking them if they have more games when they are still unpacking, proper hypocrite, I have noticed this a few times with you, I suppose you will just try and justify it like you normally do because it’s you doing it.
Are you joking? 😂 they were already basically unpacked and had stuff out on the table. I was looking through what was out and politely asked if they had anything more. That’s completely different to waiting for someone to get out their car and say “got any games”.. Are you dumb or just trying to get a reaction ?
No problem with that. Totally different than crowding people as they get out the car. Which is happening at the car boots I go to. It’s terrible never any chance of finding anything on there tables because it literally never gets there.

Just got back from selling at Bank Holiday Boit Sale had a few boxed games sold for 10p each and books etc 😊
Great video Mick, always looking forward to watching ur videos & watching your collection grow. 4k subs soon keep up the great content.
Thank you mate!

Haha nice you’ll have to catch me up! That video is a few weeks away but the plot thickens lol i’ll tell you this weekend if I see you 👍🏻

Picked up a boxed copy of legend of Zelda for GBA today for only £2!!! Box is absolutely mint
Wow!
Epic score!

Yeah I thought it was a bit steep maybe I should have haggled but didn’t think I could get it down 50% lol
The backwards compatible PS3 are renown for breaking.. Even if it does work.. for how long.

Happy days mate I should have tried to haggle him down a bit 😂 glad it worked though!
Mate glad you put the comp on hack up, I was losing my shit when you put it back down 😂
Haha yeah man unfortunately priced quite high!
@@retro_rummage_ yeah get that. I traded the full set into game station when I was a kind for pennies 😓
Was that Fairy Fencer F on PS3 the PAL version?
I paid £50 for a reverse ps3 all boxed + Inserts
Flashing red light cost me a further 60 to get it going 🙄
Paid a £5 for an OG xbox the other week bit dusty, bit of a wipe and works/looks perfect 👌
Yeah mate that’s the thing they can be pricey to fix!
Great video mate. I would of tried to haggle the ps3 down to £30. Bit yea they often don't work so might of dodged a bullet.
Yeah mate in hindsight should have tried more!
😂😂should have bought that wii and that PlayStation mate 🤷♂️
Wouldn't risk 40 on a ps3 when he doesn't even have controllers. 20 would have been my biting point.
Yeah I would have taken a punt at £20 for sure 👍🏻🕹
I saw you pick up Primal for the PS2, such a confusing game!
You need to buy a portable power station that has a plug socket so you can check if it works.
Think £40 would be too much for me to, maybe £20, great vid as usual 👍
One of those days by the looks of it mate
Skylanders figure
You are miss he head
Excellent buy market
I bought a ps3 backwards compatible yesterday for £30 with 4 controllers
Nice!!
Looks like the trainers have been through the wash!
Haha no they’re new trainers the others are in the garage now
@retro_rummage_ Well earned retirement, haha. Keep up the good work.
I have so many backwards PS3 consoles, probably 80% don't work, unless it's from a 'private' seller at the boots with cables and controller I wouldn't touch them otherwise.
Yeah I’ve heard they can be a headache and prone to break!
I wouldn't have taken that gamble at £40. Looked tatty and tired, plus no controller to help cover the risk.
i got that model ps3 with 2 pads for £30 at charity shop
Thats the highest i would pay for a console £5
Great video ive just subbed 👍👍
Hiya Mitch I have a ps2 slim that needs repairing how do I get in contact with your mate Tom? I’ve asked about and can’t find anyone who does it
Hi mate I’m not sure if he’s fixing consoles anymore :( sorry !
Which boot sale is this and do you know when they end as the sunny days are leaving us.
This was sadlers mate and I think it ends in October
I'd have offered £30 for the backwards compatible ps3 since it had no controller but I'm looking a backwards ps3 for my own collection
The media flap/ cover on the 60gb ps3 sells for over £20 on its own so would of took the risk
I didn’t know this! I’ll bear that in mind for the future 👍🏻🕹
Xbox 360- the eject button/ sensor is dirty, give it a clean with a damp cloth😉
Haha thank you mate that actually worked!!
Happened to me once when I took one into CeX, so I got home and googled it, easy fix.
Hmm dunno about haggling a kid out of 50p 😂
Yep thought the same thing😂. I guess Im just a soft touch.
And me
😂 I’m glad I did it was broken and CEX didn’t take it!
Wow 40 😮is expensive
Yeah I wouldn't of risked it I've passed on them at that price.
Epic respect GGG-unit should grabbed ps3 bro 😎 ha gal fun probably get for like £25 bro next time 😅
Haha hopefully mate!
I’ve picked up 2 back compatible PS3 this year, both duds, not worth the risk Mitch
hi do you collect for the 32x
Yeah mate I’ve heard they can be a nightmare !
got major cases for wii sport an resort if u wana do a deal mate
Msg me on insta! 👍🏻
Rrrrr man i got a fetish now for ps1 games after watching your videos to much 😂😂😂
Haha don’t buy too many though they’ll go up in price 😂😂
@@retro_rummage_ just got mgs ff.789 to replace my old tatty copys and found a pretty mint copy of tekken 2 for £8
I would’ve left it for 40
at 40 there are better opportunities
I get why you didn't buy the PS3 i really do "The whole i cant lose money no matter what almost becomes a religion " but sometimes you have to step outside your comfort zone .. if you risk nothing you gain nothing ..
Yeah mate it’s definitely a religion 😂 but you are right and hopefully I start to take more risks!
Ffs hack and the 60gb ps3 😢
Kid asking you for a £1 for one of his figures probs to make some extra pocket money and you offer 50p… lol
😅😅

They already unpacked mate.. he didn’t go into their car searching for things!
@@retro_rummage_ they are literally still pulling boxes out from the boot on the video. Hyprocrite man.
No problem with that. Totally different than crowding people as they get out the car. Which is happening at the car boots I go to.
It’s terrible
never any chance of finding anything on there tables because it literally never gets there.
@@retro_rummage_always one . Probably does the same himself
Missed gun on 360. Would of been a double up
At what minute please?
@@retro_rummage_ 9 min in I believe. Was in a stack of 360 games just b4 the ps3
Under the world at war stack
