Went on saturday, the size was a bit overwhelming so I didnt really know where to start (got in a bit late too). Most of the regular stuff was a bit too overpriced for my taste, but I found a few bits in the dollarbins.

As this was my first big convention I was quite surprised with the level of rudeness and lack of personal hygiene some people have. Elbowing in or putting your portable on a stack somebody's going through isn't my idea of a fun day (yea I thought it would be 'fun' - my bad).

OK rant over, carry on...

Just about recovered from Utrecht. Saturday was overwhelming - I was at it solid from 9am to 6pm and still didn't manage to dig at every stall. Sunday was a much more civilised affair as it was quieter and I could actually get to the racks in peace. Also, some of the dealers were knocking 50% off their prices to shift stock so managed to bag a few bargains. I kinda went there expecting to smash the granny out of it and find loads of stuff so was slightly disappointed with the amount I got. Still, managed to get a decent haul including some Dutch stuff I've been after:
