Might have picked these up this morning
DJ Midlife Crisis on the wheels of steel coming soon
Pokemon card traders are the new crypto bros of the boot sales.
Seems 1 in 10 cars is someone trading cards this year. They’ve always been there but not to this level.
I don’t get it. And I’m happy with that.
Did you know that the number of people reading for pleasure has dropped precipitously in recent, down to as low as 16% in some studies?
Why not start reversing that trend today with Issue 5 of our fabulous free ZX Spectrum gaming magazine?

All good and FF and REW a few times. Running nicely, it was super tight feeling after the repair. Probably the reason it snapped in the first instance.
Someone already archived this one a while back, here it isn’t you’re curious.

Schoolboy error. Should have put the tape at the back, not the front.
Nevermind it’s better than it was to begin with.
Cassette open and the tape is tightly wound and not giving up its reels. Maybe this got hot.
Saving another broken mixtape
Looks like a mid reel snap
No screws to open the cassette so it’s a case of scoring the side and breaking it open gently whilst working round the glue.
That’s really neat, I like that resistor set a lot.
I’m not a fan of valve tech, but that will definitely be treasure for someone, especially if NOS.
Finally some cheese millenium era dance CDs.
Choose your own adventure type book, ps1 game, loads of karaoke VCD and the best Tom hanks film since the man with one red shoe.
Books galore
Hori controller for ps5/4/pc and another ps1 controller
The most broken Xbox on planet earth. Every corner smashed.
Also had a bug crawling out of it when I got home, so it’s now sealed for 12 months at least.
Gross. Bought for spares only.
I have been to market
First outdoor boot sale of the season.
Total spend £27
Let’s go
Starting with a boxed pong console called Bingo. Box is tired but has kept the console super clean as it was bagged. Controllers present and a clean battery bay.
Unfucking reels
I will find you, Hancock!
More reels to go through.
Teeny bit tangled.
Turn inside out and you have two
I’ve still got one. Awful things.
A yellow tissue and a schwankungmesser in the same shot, could only have been topped by a crusty sock
Paper towel is the new standard in packaging
Super absorbent.
Had a ps4 pro from @gamewhisperer.bsky.social that had a busted hdmi port, finally got round to replacing that today!
Legend!
For the foghorn …

Listen Simon, I can explain it to you but I can’t understand it for you.
Put it down to a skills issue and move on.
This tape has three shows on it. All archived already so no great find, but does get me every time.
On the tape we have from series 7&8:-
Ned Kelly Reign of Terror
,Hands Across the Sea
,Prize of the Year
Recently got in a load of mix rave tapes, most in need of TLC. This was one, very chewed up but managed to save it. It contained Jungle Drum & Bass pirate radio.
Nice one bruva!
It’s now archived www.mixcloud.com/game_whisper...
Going through the backlog trying to find treasure.
Identified as “The Ned Kelly Reign of Terror” (Series 7, 1956)
