Silly Brits, it's a GARAGE SALE! Or a yard sale, take your pick. But car boot? That doesn't even make sense!

Hey, we invented them so we get to call them what we want. And the name come from the fact you sell stuff that you transported to the sale in your car's boot.

agreed. unless you've actually got an old car that actually has a boot (front trunk) and are actually selling stuff from it, its not a boot sale.

Went to the flea market today. Got some good deals, missed some stuff though

Classic NES series: Zelda $2
super star wars $6
Cabal (NES) $2.50
super mario bros 2, $2.50
Sonic spinball CIB $2.00
ms. pacman (gen CIB) $2
Monopoly (SMS CIB) $1
sega genesis power base converter $2

It's sad, My friend had a booth, and I saw he had a boxed SNES model 2 with legend of zelda LTTP for $35. At first I didn't want it, but than I thought of it, the model 2 is pretty hard to find. zelda alone is worth $15, and it was still in the box, in near-mint condition. I went back to go buy it, and it was gone.

Unrelated to games, I also got a few TMNT comics, an awesome phone, and some stephen king books, In through the out-door vinyl, and a free sandwhich maker for accepting Christ, I'm not joking.

yeah, I know, but someone had to say it. I gotta be honest, I'd have to buy it if I saw it. some things are so epically bad that they're a necessity.
