Maybe Thursdays and Sundays when the 'flea market/car boot' type stalls are on? I haven't seen them on market days.

There is nothing much on a thursday and what there is is very old and rubbish dont bother .

I could say have a look on the Accrington Market Web Site:
but I won't say that

lancsdave · 16-02-2007, 10:21

With all due respect I would avoid buying anything like this off a market stall holder who isn't permanent. Unless of course you want to take a chance !!

fc:stanley · 16-02-2007, 10:51

Yes very true lancs dave . Could you give more details on computer your selling. Yes i was looking round accrington market and some guys where selling a really smart computer with a nice monitor for very cheap! Looked to good to be true!

WillowTheWhisp · 16-02-2007, 10:59

Anything which looks too good to be true quite often is.

Mick · 16-02-2007, 11:01

It could have been a nice case but with a 486 motherboard inside

WillowTheWhisp · 16-02-2007, 11:04

It could have been a nice case.............

I've known somebody to sell an 'X Box box' which was just that - just the box!

I'll get them online this afternoon. I've actually got three base units to sell which I have picked up for people who asked me to find them a PC but then patience gets the better of them or they spend the money before I get them

fc:stanley · 16-02-2007, 12:40

Ok ill look forward to seeing them. Any pictures before you put them up?

I got my first pc from them, it's very dated now, but still working. First class service.

Not the cheapest and not the dearest but I'm a firm beleiver that if you want to spend a few hundreds pounds on something like a PC then get it from somewhere you can take it back and they will sort it out if something is wrong. More importantly they actually know what they are talking about, which probably eliminates all the high st nationals lol

Known the lads for a few years since they started out selling C64 & Spectrum games so been around the block a few times

Very true. Our boss got the office pc from PC World just before we opened. It's rubbish.

WillowTheWhisp · 16-02-2007, 17:01

The thing that bugs me about PC World is when you ask them a question and they look at you like you're speaking Martian or something.

fc:stanley · 16-02-2007, 19:15

Yes very true willow. I was just thinking as i watched corrie there`s a place on blackburn road near the pub and bike shop theres a computer shop. Anyone know if its any good?
