Cool. I thought the days of picking up stuff like this from boot sales were long gone, since eBay spoiled the party.

Yeah first one of the year for me and was amazed to see these 🤩 always say to my wife, ‘today could be the day I find some grandstand stuff’ 🤣

I think a lot of sellers are abandoning eBay due to the crazy fees and the drying up of fee discounts for the majority of sellers. I haven't had an offer in over 2 years. I used to sell a lot but just don't bother now. I reckon we will start to see more stuff at car boots now (hopefully).

We had a grandstand,
My memory ain’t great but I do remember all the sports games where built in .it might have been this one.
But I don’t think we had the colt!
😁 I remeber tennis ( pong )
Was fun two player.

Not sure we knew how to play the other games though.

Bah, I seldom get lucky like this! Trying to get everyone out of the door to the boots always fails miserably!

i used to go every week, but you have to be there REALLY early because stalls go buying stuff from each other!
you have to get there with them and look while they set up.

If it makes you feel better , I’ve waited years to find these and I was and hour and half late to the start! Sometimes it’s just meant to be 🙏🙏😎
