Carboot Sale Rage
Ok for those not in the UK a carboot..imagine a field...with a load of cars lined up..Wall paper paste tables covered in junk that you want to sell.
Right..onto the rant.
I collect retro consoles/games etc..And carboot sales are sometimes a great place to find cheap stuff.
But im missing a couple of consoles. And I don't really want to pay eBay prices.
The Wife and I decide to make a day of it and go to one that's a little bit off our radar, but hey if you don't go then you could be missing a right treat haha.
Not really going all that well..But then I spy games...Alot of games..ps1, GameCube....maybe he has..w00p megadrive games...I pick up tony hawks 1 for the ps1 and find a 3 games on 1 cart for megadrive. We get to talking about stuff and he's asking me what im looking for.
Me: Oh I still need a Dreamcast
Him: I have one of them, how much are you looking to pay for it?
Me: Carboot prices really.
Him: Well how about £5...I will bring it next week.
Me: Deal...yeah bring it next week
The following week is a wash out..Pissing it down. We drive out just in case but yeah the place is a ghost town.
My wife goes the following week...And he's forgot it...but he has a megadrive as well that he's willing to sell for cheap..He says he will bring them the following Sunday.
Sunday comes and we get up early...I just have a feeling that this is going to be a waste of time...And yup it was. He tells me that he's really sorry but he sold them last week...Yeah the day that my wife came to buy them but you had forgot them...But somehow you managed to sell something that you didn't have with you.
I just had no comeback...All I could think of was to just stand there and call him a dick.
24 hours later and im still confused as to why a grown adult would lie for just no reason at all.
I can understand when kid lie...The may lie to show off..e.g. say they have a game at home that they don't really have...But an adult? I mean its his job to sell shit...and I want to buy his shit....I just don't get it.

like gregory house said... everyone les... and man it was a Dreamcast!ReplyDelete
pretty much a flea market here in the states right? I love finding hidden gems among the piles of old rubbish when going to those things.ReplyDelete
Man, that sucks. All you can do is hold out til you find that bargain though!ReplyDelete
If he had it he put it on e-bay but man thats bad. Least you didn't have to hang about with Lowri Turner :pReplyDelete
I agree with @Jandro, I love finding usefull and cheap things that I can use.ReplyDelete
Oh my god! i wish to go there one day, nice!ReplyDelete
Someone must have told him £5 was way too cheap.ReplyDelete
I mean c'mon that would've been a steal. Hell even £20 would have been a steal. You probably should have offered him more for it when he said £5....
£5=Dreamcast? Even an idiot knows that doesn't sound right. Hell, people in the states still pay ~$50 for NES consoles sometimes...
WOW! Its like woodstock meets ebay or something lol.ReplyDelete
FrostyC does make a good point, but he did give his word so it's still pretty messed up. It's hard to find old classic systems like those now a days too, only luck is probably online.ReplyDelete
Hahaha car boots and rain go hand in hand! I love going to them, even if I don't buy anything it's amazing to see what goodies people are willing to give away for practically nothing.ReplyDelete
You can find quite a few bargains at these, although, there is still an eery sense of dullness lingering for me in relation to Car Boot Sales; the child within me restricts me from going anywhere near one. :)ReplyDelete
Well that sucks dude. Yeah maybe someone told him that the price too cheap.ReplyDelete

The talk on the street may make it sound like there's a flu epidemic going on, but health officials in Northeast Georgia say the number of confirmed cases isn't out of the ordinary for late in the annual flu season.
Lynn Beckmann, infectious disease coordinator for the Northeast Health District, said she has heard more reports than usual about influenza, but that the number of confirmed cases is about normal.
''We have heard a lot more people say they think they've had the flu, but we're not getting that in more verifiable cases,'' Beckmann said.
Only two verified cultures of the virus -- which is characterized by fever, inflammation of the nose and throat, and muscle pains -- have been submitted recently by local physicians to the Northeast Health District.
''I would definitely say it's not an epidemic,'' Beckmann said.
While some may have had the flu, it's hard to tell for sure if they don't go to a doctor to have it confirmed.
The influenza season in Georgia begins in October and ends around March, Beckmann said. The peak season for flu-like illnesses runs from mid-January to mid-February, according to state health department officials.
While several of Clarke County's public and private schools reported increased teacher and student absences in past weeks, most school officials said attendance is now basically back to normal.
Athens Academy's lower school director Bob Urich said they've only had a handful of students out sick this week.
''It's not an epidemic like it was several weeks ago,'' Urich said Tuesday. ''Staff members are here -- that's very important.''
The school's middle school director, Barbara Klein, said the school offers all faculty members flu shots to help combat the ailment.
Beckmann said she suspects those catching the virus are the same ones neglecting the flu shots offered before it becomes a problem.
''Most of the people I've talked to said, 'No, I didn't get the flu shot, but I will get it next year,' '' she said. ''I would venture to say most didn't get the shot or, if they did, it was a mild case.''
The shots were given to about 12,000 people this year at the Northeast Health District office in Athens for the Beijing, H3N2 and 184/93-like virus strains, she said. Those same strains of the virus are the ones responsible for the verified flu infections this year, she said.
Both Clarke and Oconee county school officials said they have been spared any major problems with a flu epidemic this winter.
''It hasn't been reported to me and I would hear,'' said Tommy Warren, director of student services for the Oconee County schools. ''This time of the year there are always some (flu cases), but I haven't heard of anything like major outbreaks.''
Mike Wooten, spokesman for the Clarke County School District, said school absences this week have been ''fairly normal'' in the district.
''We had bumps here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary,'' Wooten said. ''A couple of Clarke County principals were out with the flu last week.''
State health officials are urging anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms to visit their physician but until then, they're not jumping to any conclusions.
''Verbal reports are coming in from people who think that they've had the flu based on their signs and symptoms,'' Beckmann said. ''We won't report assumptions (to state health officials).''
Oconee County editor Wayne Ford contributed to this story.

Haikyuu Season 3 – By the end of the season 2 of Haikyuu Anime we got a news that Haikyuu is getting season 3 by the fall of 2016. Today we got some more details about the third season of the Haikyuu Anime which includes, Promotional video which previews the characters and the members of Shiratorizawa HIgh School's Volleyball club.
Inspired after watching a volleyball ace nicknamed "Little Giant" in action, small-statured Shouyou Hinata revives the volleyball club at his middle school. The newly-formed team even makes it to a tournament; however, their first match turns out to be their last when they are brutally squashed by the "King of the Court," Tobio Kageyama. Hinata vows to surpass Kageyama, and so after graduating from middle school, he joins Karasuno High School's volleyball team—only to find that his sworn rival, Kageyama, is now his teammate.
Thanks to his short height, Hinata struggles to find his role on the team, even with his superior jumping power. Surprisingly, Kageyama has his own problems that only Hinata can help with, and learning to work together appears to be the only way for the team to be successful. Based on Haruichi Furudate's popular shounen manga of the same name, Haikyuu!! is an exhilarating and emotional sports comedy following two determined athletes as they attempt to patch a heated rivalry in order to make their high school volleyball team the best in Japan.

Earth's close call: Asteroid heads for us with explosive force of 3,000 nukes
EARTH is in for a close encounter of the deadly kind – and it packs an explosive punch.
Asteroid 99942 Apophis, a rock as big as a mountain, is predicted to come closer to our planet than the moon.
And should it make impact, it will release more explosive power than 3,300 nukes, equal to the most powerful earthquake on record.
The effect would be devastation for thousands of kilometres around the impact site or - should it touch down at sea – a monstrous tsunami.
When first discovered in 2004, Apophis caused a scare, with initial observations suggesting a collision risk of four on the Torino scale – the highest ever.
Scientists predicted a potential impact date on April 13, 2029, and though they were later able to rule it out there was another risk to consider.
During the close encounter, it was feared that the asteroid would pass through a gravitational keyhole, setting it up for a later impact.
The new impact date was April 13, 2036, and while this was later ruled out too the fact remains that Apophis will come very close.
"The tsunami could cause extensive damage"Mark Gallaway
Experts now say Apophis could end up just 18,311 miles from the Earth in 2029 – very close in astronomical terms.
Compare that to the Moon, our planet's only permanent natural satellite, which is some 238,855 miles away.
In fact, it could be the closest any large asteroid comes to hitting us for more than a century.
Apophis will be so close, the Earth's gravity may affect how it spins and trigger landslides on its surface.
Mark Gallaway, who runs Britain's largest learning observatory at the University of Hertfordshire, described the effect of a direct impact.
He told Daily Star Online that Apophis hitting deep-water would release as much energy as four billion tonnes of TNT – triggering a huge tsunami.
That's some 3,300 times more power than America's strongest free-falling nuke, the B83, which is itself 75 times stronger than the one dropped on Hiroshima.
He said: "This is the same as a 9.65 magnitude earthquake, in the order of the 1960 Valdivia quake. The tsunami could cause extensive damage to coastal regions."
Yet Dr Gallaway emphasised that even this would not be world-ending, leaving climate unchanged.
He said: "Apophis is not going to cause any long term effects even if it did impact us.
"Most of the Earth's surface is deep water and most of the land mass is uninhabited.
"Unlike the movies they hit randomly, so we wouldn't expect an impact against an an inhabited area yet alone a city."
And a near miss seems unlikely to mean anything worse than a light show for us on the surface.
According to NASA, the asteroid will appear to the naked eye as a "moderately bright point of light moving rapidly across the sky".
Dr Gallaway said: "The mass of Apophis is around four million tonnes, which might sound a lot but at 29,470km the gravitational effect will be tiny.
"The gravitation effect of the Moon is billions of times greater. So there is no chance of there being any effect on the Earth at all."
