My Sony Handycam From 1998

Hello dear Readers! Today I will be writing about my Sony Handycam from 1998. I got this camera last year for $10 (was $15 but I haggled it down).



                                                Here's a photo of it:



                           
It's in basically in mint condition with only on scratch i know of. It has been for sale on eBay for $220. 

                                             Here's The Story On How I Got My Camera

I was at the local tip/junk yard and was looking for cameras (because I had found only a week or so before two vintage video cameras for 5 bucks) and I stopped at a bag, a camera bag to be precise. I went over to it and opened it up. I was very surprised. ''Dad'' I whispered ''There's an old Sony Handycam over there! ''But its $15'' He whispered back. I said to him: ''Yeah but there expensive cameras though'' (In the end I bought it. But my parents thought I had bought a piece of rubbish) When I got home I got it inside and plugged it in. It was working fine with battery holding charge like a BEAST. Once I had brought it to a wildlife park for my sister's birthday. About 2/5 months later I get it out of my wardrobe to find it had only lost about 1/4 blocks of charge! I was very happy that I had a camera I could trust to bring on car trips and days out. And now I have only charged it about 4-5 times since I got it.


                                        Thank You HandyCam!

1989 Nintendo Gameboy

Today I will be talking about my 1989 Nintendo Gameboy I got it in 2014 at a 2nd hand shop for $40. (the shop closed down the same year sadly)
                                          So here's the story on how i got it:

Me and my family were going to the new 2nd shop. I was super excited and i said to my parents: I am certain that a Gameboy would be for sale. I was right. There was a Gameboy there. There was also a Gameboy Pocket but i wanted the original, not the Pocket. So i asked how much she wanted for it, and she said $40. But i didn't have that much cash, so i had to pay it off. I ended up making $39 in three days by doing TONS of chores. I had $1 to go, so my parents gave me that dollar so i could pay the amount. I'm pretty sure we went to get it the same day but not 100%. When we arrived to pick it up, the woman said i could get a game too for free! So i choose Mega Man: Dr Wily's Revenge instead of Super Mario Land because it wasn't there sadly, But now i have a copy of it. (And now i have completed it about 4-5 times). 

                                          Here's a picture of my Gameboy
