Today I got a brand new sealed copy of Destiny for the 360 for pop and a red DS Lite with charger and what looked like a game inserted but turned out to be an R4 with a 4gb micro sd! £5.

That's a result for the R4 card alone - especially since it's been illegal to buy or sell them for quite a few years now.

I have tried it out and it has played everything I have chucked on it apart from Konami Arcade Classics. It has a GBA folder on it but it won't let me load the ROMS. I assume I need a R4/everdrive for the GBA slot.

Amazes how often people seem to report finding sealed copies of fairly recent games in charity shops! I wonder how they end up there in the first place? Must be relatives and such clearing out somebody else's stuff.

I found that myself for £1.50. Then again I used to be MadManDan79 before my dopey ex partner used my old email address maliciously and had to change it...

Good find yesterday, an original Gameboy, in mint condition (except for the owners name written on the bottom), carry case, couple of games, charger and manuals. £6.

I've been looking for one for ages.

And the Everdrive GB is a great buy as well:
