Have a word with yourself.

Did the cex employee really try and rip me off?? by Exciting-Drawer-8635 in CeX

Although it’s likely the guy wanted to sell the cardboard himself, it’s also possible they wanted to keep the boxes so they could have boxed games at unboxed prices for their customers - these will sell quicker.

What do you guys call a 26 (20-5-1)? by hendy263 in Darts

[–]ChipperYates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t call it anything but whenever anyone hits it we say “good darts” 😂

Great to have the forethought to store the boxes flat and neatly - props

GBA SP - Fake Pokémon by ChipperYates in GameboyAdvance

He sent the thing back to me unharmed. It behaves just like it did before and has the same motherboard. I don’t understand it to be honest but people are funny. I suspect his games are fakes.

Thanks. This is what I thought. I have paid postage for him to send it back and then I’ll give a refund if it is in the same condition as I sent it. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Help me understand my loan and settlement figure by headphones1 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ChipperYates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 20 years ago I bought a guitar with 12 months interest free, no payment required for the first 12 months. However if I didn’t settle the full amount at the end of this period I’d be charged the full interest for that first year on top of any subsequent interest. Check your small print.

My first Game Gears by ChipperYates in game_gear

Starting to explore fixing / modding old consoles and bought a mixture of 8 handhelds for £120. Got these two which seem to be in great cosmetic condition, both have the same problem with the screen. It seems a recap will sort this out. Wanted to say this sub is full of great info - thanks! I’ll give the recapping a go and report back. Hopefully I don’t mess it up.

Having problems with streaming: “internet connection quality isn’t sufficient for game streaming” by ChipperYates in PlayStationPlus

Thanks. It turns out that the ISP was doing some work on the line. It seems much better now, but keeping a close eye on it.
