@rubber_jonnie I take it the top picture what your brother gave you? Cool.

Also, that C=64 PRG manual was a good price in there. They go for up to £20 on EBay! :thumbup:

I did wonder if you'd do a 'supermarket sweep' of all that elk stuff! :lol:

Not too bad a selection in there, is it?

Yep the top pic is from my brother :)

I got Elite and both manuals for £13.99, which IMHO was a bargain, the C64 one in particular. He did disappear to the back room and said "I have some other stuff" and dragged out a TI99/4a in a terribly sorry state. I asked how much he wanted, though said at first I was picking one up tomorrow, and he said sensible offers, which meant probably more than it was worth in its current state!!!

Had I not already got one coming from you I would have probably made him an offer.

There is a decent selection, and a lot for the C64, but I just didn't want to buy loads of tapes, and only got Elite because it was complete in the box.

Yeah, they're above the elk/c64 stuff, sort of just above head level IIRC.

Coincidentally, I didn't even notice the Speccy stuff a few foot to the right until the 2nd visit. :roll:

Don't worry; it was mostly mag cover cassettes...the only thing I noticed was Horace Goes Skiing (but I have that already).

And the Amiga...*ahem*...'games' were a hand written set of floppies in a 10 blank floppy case; Eye of the Beholder and a few other multi disk games.

There was a time where the police would just come in and shut the place down for this. :lol:
