Right, this is the final straw.... :lol:

I've seen the name 'spence' bandied about quite a lot lately and I am now curious (and a little bit wary) - who is he / she and what have they done that makes them seem such a pariah??

... and for the love of fooks sake - is this bloke demented??? Looking on his ebay page and seriously sat with mouth wide open in astonishment!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/13-SEGA-MASTER-SY ... 255fec4e82

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUPER-NINTENDO-SN ... 53e5781926

Is this bloke dor real or does he just do it to take the censored??

It's odd that most of the games are 'sealed'... I could get use of a shrinkrap unit in 5 minutes if I wanted - does that make my games sealed?? :twisted:

You're not allowed. You always seem to get f*cking lucky in the charadee shops, and it's not fair :lol:

We've only got five charity shops, and a council one (ecco), that normally has good stuff in, but lately, it's all slim pickings. Saying that, it IS Harlow we're talking about, so the chavs have probably thrown it all away because they can't sell it on to buy their fags, booze and drugs.
