"The Dodgy Geezer."

This morning i took a trip to a local morning market, you know, the kind where they sell anything, clothes, DIY stuff, food and DVDs and games and stuff. It was massive. I went to see if there were any cheap games and DVDs there, ended up coming home with FF9 so it was a good day. :D

Anyway, standing in this one stall i was poking around looking at the games that they had, it was mainly a PS1 stall though. There were some decent games too, but something wasnt right. All the covers for the games were... 'fusty' and you could blatantly tell that these had been scanned. Knowing this i stayed well clear. I decided to just watch a purchase while i was there. So this little kid comes to have a look with his dad and sees a game he really wants, ISS Evo 2 (the kid had sence). On it was a price tag of...wait for it... £25. After much nagging the dad finally gave in and asked for the game. The dodgy geezer from behind the table took the box which was identicle to that of a normal PS1 game, went to his truck and brought out the disc.

Instantly you could tell that it was a copy, again the top label was fusty and the bottom the the CD was blue. The down right scoundral was charging £25 for a copied game that cost him £2 to make at the most. The guy was a genuis though, everything about the look of the games were excactly that of the official products, and he was making loads off it. But it didnt half get me mad.

Before the Dad handed his money over i just asked to have a word with him and told him about the dirty deed, to which he thanked me, told the guy where to go with lots more people around to here it as i sharply scarperd.

The damn Dodgy Geezer.

Now that I can believe...

I sell penny sweets to little kiddies for a £5 each.

:D

My sister went to a carboot sale and told me aaaalllll about those today.

Also, half these dodgy geezers were not half milking Pop idol's Gareth and Will. I lost count of the amount of home made CD's that were on sale that offered all there songs that they had sang on the show, and even them were being sold £10 a piece. Its a joke!

Some even had the nerve to play there CD's even when the songs were only half long, they were singing and it would just stop.

*Im going to take this night and make it Eveeerrr Greee----*

lol, i read that, the poor bloke. :D

Yep, it was a pleasent surprise, and the fact that it was brandnew at £16 was too.

I'll take it that your mum is slightly different to Dringo's mum then (the dreamcast destroyer!).
:D

Yup, it was rather funny actually, the stall owner chased after me as i made my exit.

But being on the bigger side of life he found it hard. :D

£25 for a copied game?? what a rip off!!

I say wash them kinds of people off the streets before it's too late.

Yup.

Though the good little boy i am i offered to carry my mums shopping, she did have around 7 bags, and then i was awarded with FF9. :D
