  • Hello and welcome to a very special episode as today, for the first first time we are at Nottingham Gaming Market!
    Whenever you hunt at a gaming market you have to be patient, you never know what your going to find and shoot your shot too early and you may miss out on being able to afford an item you find later, or wait to long and you may miss an item you passed buying the first time, gaming markets are always a gamble and it’s all about patience and hopefully today it pays off!
    The Nottingham Gaming Market is the latest gaming market from Replay Events - the award winning organisers of the Video Game Market and PLAY Expo shows around the UK - over 100 successful events ran in the last 10 years!
    As well as game hunting it was amazing to meet so many amazing fans of the channel and fellow collectors as well as fellow TH-camrs such as ‪@RetroGhetto‬ and to spend the day with ‪@ps2manygames‬

    Oh yay you got my table at 17:53. There were a lot of great trade tables and thank you for the compliment at being one of the best markets as I was part of it. :) I'll be trading next at London if you can make it! Oh and thanks for using my table as your thumb nail. :)

      @@DanTheGamesMan Aw thanks man kind of you to say. I intend to return to Nottingham to trade again as it is the 2nd best performing market I have been to after London (Oxford gets 3rd place now) So see you then and keep up the good work. And for goodness sakes do try and play those games instead of placing it on shelves and letting them gather dust! :)

    Nottingham market was a really good day, pleased you picked up a couple of your most wanted items. Fully agree that the bigger space and staggered entry system meant it was a much better experience than some of the others I've been to.

    Just found your channel off the retro Ghetto discord.
    Love the videos you've done so far,
    The store you couldn't remember the name with the 32x and watches was Vintage Gamer, I was working on that store that day but down the other end.
    Looking forward to going h through your library.

    Wowee wow wow, cool pick-ups. You met Callum(Retro Ghetto), that's cool. Gemma(TheGebs24) was also there, saw her video the other day. She got some cool stuff too. She was with a Cousin of hers(when I saw the video and saw him i thought he was Sheamus with different hair color) 😂🤣, did you get to meet her too? I love her Channel, great content.

    Great vid as always, Dan but just to let you know I've seen Tmnt TF on MD on Cex app in the last couple of months but they've gone in no time. There's a game I've been on the look out for months now, very rare by all accounts and only see it once in CEX, missed it but grabbed it this time and it arrived to my surprise, complete, in near mint condition as was the manual, which was EXO Squad, based on the toy line, on MD. Checked eBay and only one sold for nearly triple the price that I paid for it very recently.

    Looks good, the Sega Sg1000 was the early try out before the 8 nbit Master System came out and used cartridge and card for memory storage iirc. I think the mk2 version was an updated version of the sg1000 mk1.

    the Megadrive version of VR racing was a bigger cartridge because it needed an extra set of chips to render the 3d graphics of the game, it was also hella expensive when it was released because of that.
