Charity Shop Hunting Episode 10 - Better late Than never?

[@topopops]

I bought a 1967 fender Stratocaster in a oxfam shop about 7 years ago. Absolutely my best find of al time. Paid £70 for it, worth about 6/7k on a bad day.

[@CryptoScotAllan]

topopops wow

[@TheDundalkFC]

Saying you had a heart attack in the British heart foundation store was probably not the best phrase to use haha

[@Kevinwoolford123]

I didnt even know I said that hahaha probably wasnt for the best lol

[@Deano1985100]

Was this before charity shops started cottoning on and started to charge what eBay charge for retro stuff.

[@skip-ratgaming8682.]

ABSOLOUTLY LOVE. Game hunting , charity shops, carboot, faires , what's the best pickup you've got . I recently got a bag full of 60 games with rates for £20. Do you find its getting harder and harder to find good games with so many ebayers and sellers

[@skip-ratgaming8682.]

I'm also finding alot of the staff and volunteers from people I know collect games now so slot of the good games are just been whipped up , nowt in the back and just football games and maby a few sport games left

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Yeah it's tough to find any good games now really. Everywhere is clued up and charging full price

[@skip-ratgaming8682.]

"I'm Knackered because I'm fat" Story of my life mate hahha! Great video man

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Us chunky bois arnt built for hot weather and running haha

[@DeniseF]

Some people can put their nose up at the thought of a charity shop but it's where you find the best little gems and for basically 95% off retail price.I love finding books worth 20 euro and I can get it for 1 euro.for example Graham norton new book lol...im always finding perfect conditions of harry potter or Stephen King for 2 or 3 euro. People are mad not to have a look around lol. Great video 👍

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Denise F Yeah it can get anything not finding anything for ages but if you stick with them you find the odd gem now and again :) that's why I go to bootsales to show what I find and what I see on vids. I've found alot of cool goodies over the years from boot sales. :)

[@jay92uk]

People forget that your money goes to a good cause.

[@Kim-ss5bb]

And help a charity in the process, I did voluntary work in a charity shop and I loved it

[@SayakaMaizonoo]

Looking forward to see you what find at the Carboots tomorrow. I wish you have my usual success at them!

Lee Everett Do you bring clem along for luck? Hope it's a good one :)

MUZZY! Thats nostalgia, remember seeing the ads when I was young and thought it looked awesome.

[@Kevinwoolford123]

It's a learning aid I think for kids I've still never seen the show. Was it on the BBC I think?

[@seanieboi3100]

@@Kevinwoolford123 I'd reckon so, I think the ads were on Nick Jr. and RTE Jr. here in Ireland

yes! great to see you back. Been a good first weekend up here car boot-wise for me. Hope it's all good for you!

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Dan Parsons I'm editing my episode tonight. I'm in a lot of pain with my back which I will mention in the episode haha

[@exillionXLR]

again nice pickups mate. Actually found Ape Escape myself in a charity shop recently :)

[@Kevinwoolford123]

exillionXLR Its a great game and very unique. I loved it while in high school I finished it 100%

[@RetroTech100]

Do you use spy glasses or a gopro? If you do use a gopro how do you hide it? Starting to do some videos myself.

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Just a chest mounted cam :) I dont hide it its not doing anyone any harm just dont go pointing it in peoples face and people will be ok. if they ask what you are filming just say its to prove to people what you find at carboots etc :D They always understand unless they are doing something they shouldnt haha

[@RetroTech100]

Ok. Cheers mate. Gonna take mine out tommorrow and hit a few charity shops and maybe a Cash converters.

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Retro Tech 100 Goodluck i hope you find loads of goodies!

[@RetroTech100]

kevinwoolford123 Cheers mate.

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Nice find on the Linkin Park Live album - I was at that concert in Milton Keynes

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Yeah that would have been amazing

[@jay92uk]

made me laugh when you walked in back and ed sheeran was playing

Haha typical. I dont have my beanie hat anymore luckily so I dont get the same reaction from people lol

@@Kevinwoolford123 www.ebaystores.co.uk/musicMagpie-Shop give this ebay store a look at. Sells loads of games. If you type 'PARTY' in at checkout you get 20% off. I spent £30 and got £6 off. Can't go wrong.

[@Xruinux]

That first charity shop worker , was well pretty 😍

[@GRUSSNewton]

Nice one Kev! Enjoyed that

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Hows it going mate :D i got a new booty episode up bit its mostly raw footage as there wasnt much around. Filed today and got a couple of bits but again i dont think its worth the upload so might bundle it in with a bank holiday booter if the rain holds off

[@LewisTopic]

Great video mate, does anyone ever question why you are wearing a camera?

[@Kevinwoolford123]

No I dont force it towards people or make it obvious to avoid offending people :) just set to record and go about as if I wasnt wearing it :)

[@sashamills3957]

I got my Bluetooth headphones from local charity shop there normally around £30-to £40 I got them for £2.50p and the charger with it.. well worth it.... great vid..👍👍

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Result! That's a great price glad you are happy :)

[@jnternaI]

Was this filmed in luton?

[@DeniseF]

How do you film Hands free? Are ya using a phone or camera?

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Denise F chest mounted camera :) it gets in the shot most of what I want but sometimes can clip things out but it seems to work well :D thanks for watching

[@TwoVloggersMore]

Great video man, bit late on this, enjoyed it a lot. Cheers!

i bought a ice cream maker in jan i thought it was a bread maker and checked on the internet it a 300quid heston blumanthal ice cream maker in a charity shop its mint with instructions and cost £9.99 happy days 😁

[@Kevinwoolford123]

I went to Leighton buzzard charity's today I wish I saw you cause your videos are awesome

[@Kevinwoolford123]

I was very very late haha did you find anything today at all? If you ever see me around always come and say hi :D

[@tommygaming8200]

No I didn't find any Games today and I will say hi if I see you.

[@TypicalToyReviews]

I see this is 2 years old but you passed one Wii Party at the first store. Its Nintendo's in-house version of Mario Party. $10-$15 game if you just wanted to flip it

[@ytyoked3946]

What town was the vid filmed

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Terran DG FAN ARMY Gaming Dunstable I think :)

[@retrojay2014]

I don't bother much with charity shops any more, nor bootfairs - people just see the value in things nowadays. Beforehand you'd go to a bootfair or make a trip to the charities and walk out with handfuls of films, games, controllers, maybe even a console! Now people just flog all the good stuff on eBay where it sells for triple the price, sad in a way. Was actually in a charity shop just the other day and heard the manager say to one of the lads to not bother stacking the games because noone ever buys them, I asked to look at which ones they had and lo and behold they had some good titles in there, even some JRPG stuff for the Ps2. Took a handful and gave a donation to the charity [as they weren't "selling" them]. Sad part is, what charity shops don't sell goes to landfill - think of all the gems that've fallen victim to that!

[@Kevinwoolford123]

jaygamer yeah some shops just bin them and other want ebay prices. Boot sales are still good and bargains to be had. I missed out on A lot of retro in my last video. He got a gameboy and 10 games for 2 quid so there still stuff to be had :) charity shops are a waste of time tho imo as it's mostly ebay prices

[@markevans7916]

The Blondie on the till in the 1st shop was fit I wouldn't have minded taking her in the back room ;)

You should go to the finmire carboot near Milton Keynes it’s huge

I've been to the one at the bowl before is that a different one? :)

[@Pwntyounooblol]

Does CEX disc resurfacing leave the circle marks after the disc has been buffered? My machine at home does. If not... I may have to go to CEX since I've got a couple of scratched games. And nice score on the Crash btw!

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Will no marks like that just light scratches here and there from the deeper ones. did a great job tbh :)

[@ILoveXXRussellcXX]

Hugo is a great games series

[@Kane_Robo]

ever play 'the getaway black monday' on play station 2 ?

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Yeah finished them back in the day but never went back again sadly. Is it still good?

[@Kane_Robo]

@@Kevinwoolford123 think they only ever made the one, just remember it being a cool game at 9 years old there is gameplay of it on youtube

[@jtothew4201]

Don't now if you have ever tried this but Brasso on cases and stuff with scratches works like magic you can use very fine wet and dry paper then rub it with Brasso. I don't know how or why it works so well but it's like magic.

[@Kevinwoolford123]

JtotheW Thanks for the tip! I use brasso to clean retro game contacts:)

[@courtney-maicleaver195]

im here :D. coraline is an awesome film

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Yeah i enjoyed it. i was a little put off by the 3d part on the front. i guess it was two film modes on 1 disc but its ok i can always get it another time :)

[@waynerafferty1048]

Only downside is charity shops are putting ebay and amazon prices on games retro, not so old. Which is a pain

[@Kevinwoolford123]

Yeah it's gone that way with alot of them now which is why I dont really have any episodes to make :(

Great video Kev

[@princecaspen3449]

hey mate just wondering how you actually record your videos? people dont seem to realise your recording lol, also do you play the games you buy or is it just for collecting? anyways awesome videos as usual! you should do a video on your game collection you'd get tonnes of views on your channel

[@Kevinwoolford123]

prince caspen I play till I'm finished then I move on the games for more games to play :) I collect nes and also play mainly. I don't mind if people see the cam I'm not doing anything wrong so it's ok if they see it :) I have a huge nes collection and I'm going for a full pal A set
