That shop owner and his wife "Marther" on 'Little Britten' may be able to help.:)

It's Margaret, and she doesn't have any arms or legs.

its a good reference site, but no-one should have to pay those ridiculous prices. you can pick up careers on ebay for under a tenner and buccaneer for about fifteen quid. im a total board game nerd, my favourite thing to do is playing board games with my lad.

Spooktacular have some hidden gems in their jumble piles.

I bought an old Games Workshy game from there for £3.50 and saw it on Ebay for £25.00 the next day.

The antiques shops off Abbeydale Road....and behind Abbeydale in front of the Virgin gym: a couple of emporium type places. Ask the dealers there; they are usually very knowledgeable and will probs be able to put you in touch with someone....There are also regualr flea markets at Don Valley stadium....

I bought my lad the old style 'guess who' off a car boot this summer for £2.50!!

It is much better made than the current one in the shops!!

In fact most games manufactured pre 1985 were fantastic quality compared to the tat they sell today!

:rolleyes:
