Seen Them? Now Trade Them

Advantages: Collectable | Decent Hobby | Characters | Cards | Battle | Tradeable
Disadvantages: Price | Rare

...This is a review on DragonBall Z Trading Cards. You won?t be able to get these from this country; well it will be very rare. They first came out in Japan, so they might be in Japanese over here, until the change the language. You can also get DragonBall GT cards which can battle against DragonBall Z ones. There are many cards for you to collect, and you can get them by buying booster packs from the internet or if a local card shop might have them (not you birthday car one, I mean trading card seller). You will get 9 cards in each booster pack, but you are able to buy the cards separately. So if you want a certain card, buy it separately, instead of praying you will get it in the booster packs. Each booster pack will be random, so you will get different or ones you have already in them, they won?t cost you too much, really...

Review of Dragon Ball Z Trading Cards

Doctor Who Battles In Time Cards

Advantages: Great fun, improves skills, fantastic for any fan!
Disadvantages: The total cost can add up to a great amount over time

...When you get your hands on that brand new unopened pack, your heart begins to pound. You begin to dream of what it holds in its jaws, the adventures you could have! You stroke the top, edging to open it. You carefully start to pull at the seal. Out the packet you pull out fresh new cards. You sit them in the palm of your hand, tempted to look at them. Your fingers tell you it is a promising pack. You swiftly turn over the first card. You do not recognise it. It's exciting and shiny. You turn over the second. Then the third. Then the fourth. And you keep going until you reach the guaranteed 9 cards. Then you realise there is still one more. You gasp as you flip it over. It is a super-rare. You are about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime... ***** Hit BBC show Doctor Who hit our screens in 2004 with the 9th Doctor, played by...

BAY TRADING

Advantages: Great quality, styles and prices
Disadvantages: Too cramped store

...Well the answer to my title is quite simple, um.... cash for clothes and accessories and in this case DECENT, GOOD QUALITY Bay Trading items, sorry about the dodgy title but I couldn't really think of anything else! I've only really noticed Bay Trading in my local town centre recently, I've only just started shopping there too so her goes my opinion on the shop itself. The store itself is relatively small but have been in bigger branches, with racks down the sides of the small, thin, long store and 1 single rack all the way down the middle of the store, things can get a little cramped. When loads of people are in the tiny store all at once, things can get a litte out of hand. Luckily the store uses the floor above it too for the changing rooms. The changing rooms are great with a big communal area and then 2 smaller changing rooms...

Nectar Card

Advantages: Lots of retailers to collect with
Disadvantages: Online points may not equal amount of cashback available elsewhere

...spend. To be honest I prefer to use topcashback for my online purchases as you receive money in cashback rather then points. The most useful part of the nectar online programme however is that you can earn points when shopping with amazon, whereas you cannot earn cashback with amazon on any other cashback sites (that I am aware of). A few of the companies you can earn nectar points online with are: Argos Play.com Vodafone Virgin Mobile Lovefilm Waterstones Avon New Look And many more.... Overall this is a worthwhile card to have as if you ever shop as Sainsbury's, buy petrol at Sainsbury's or BP or shop at any of the online retailers then it's worth signing up. Using the online website you can also redeem your points for products rather then for money off your shopping at Sainsburys. A full list of items which you can get for trading in...

Review of Nectar Card

A fascinating history of a very rough trade

Advantages: A very interesting book about an important part of British history
Disadvantages: The specific details about Bristol will not be of interest to all readers

...The Trade What is this book about? In short, this book tells the story of the part Bristol played in the transatlantic slave trade. Bristol benefitted hugely from the so-called triangular trade, whereby manufactured goods, weapons, cloth and so on were shipped from Bristol mainly to the west coast of Africa, slaves were taken from Africa to the America?s and the Caribbean and sugar, tobacco and rum were taken from these locations back to Bristol. Evidence of this trade still exists. Fry?s Chocolate Factory was at Bristol (cocoa and sugar), indeed there were 7 sugar refineries at one point, Hartley?s Jam was made locally (sugar again) and Imperial Tobacco was there (and partly still is). The slave trade made Bristol ? and a small number of Bristolians ? rich, although very few slaves were ever seen in Bristol. The book is...

Review of The Trade - Victoria Coules

Bay Trading

Advantages: Good prices
Disadvantages: a bit of a mess

...Bay Trading was not a shop I used until a few years ago. It is one of the only shops in the area that I live in that has clothes that I like at affordable price!! Which I think is hard to find! Each time I go in I normally end up buying something! Bay Stocks a range of clothes tops, and trousers mainly. I think that the selection is of a wide range, but I think it could be better. In the summer months there is a wide range of bikinis at mainly £10 each- complete bargain! I normally manage to find what I?m looking for, however the smaller sizes tend to sell out quickly as in other shops. What they don't sell is underwear. I think it would be good if they did. It would be a great sure success, but there is always Topshop in the meantime! The sales are brilliant if you are size 14+ because that what is left in all the sales! As I...

Wanna catch em all

Advantages: Can be an enjoyable hobby, MAY increase in value
Disadvantages: A big drain on the budget, Can cause vast arguments between parent and sibling, MAY become worthless bits of paper

...Pokemon… The word that will evoke one of two very different reactions, depending on your age (I’m making a big generalisation). Children will jump around excitedly screaming something along the lines of “I want some”. The reaction of adults (parents) will be to get as far away from this money consuming product as fast as possible. The image is changing now, as the kids are starting to lose the hype on Pokemon and are onto something else now. You will still find kids that play the game in clubs and tournaments but more and more often, you will be finding adult collectors or the few kids that take collecting seriously buying the cards. I have read some opinions on the subject that show that the writer may have simply dismissed Pokemon as a craze and a fad. Half of these people have never even owned the cards...

Oyster Card

Advantages: Convenient
Disadvantages: You could lose it!

...We Londoners are insistent people. We want cheap travel to anywhere in one of the biggest cities in the world. We want it regularly, without delays and seven days a week?if possible. Not too much to ask then?oh and we want a convenient travel card rather than paying with cash for each individual journey. Of course. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the Oyster card then. For those who don?t live in London or perhaps have never even stepped foot in the capital, the following paragraphs may read like absolute gobbledegook, but trust me, I think I know what I?m talking about and I think it makes sense. The Oyster card is basically a form of electronic ticketing used on public transport ? buses, some National Rail trains, trams, underground and the Docklands Light Railway system within Greater London. The blue card, which costs just a £3...

Make a Bee Line for the Nectar Card !!

Advantages: A good way to save for the extras at no extra cost
Disadvantages: None at all.

...THE PURPLE CARD IN MY PURSE THE NECTARCARD I have owned a Nectar card for many years now - in fact my card is the old design and I keep forgetting to upgrade it!! "WHAT IS A NECTAR CARD ??" The Nectar card is a Loyalty or Reward card. It is NOT a credit or debit card and is free to join. Nectar is owned by Groupe Aeroplan Inc., and it is estimated that more than 50 per cent of UK households collect Nectar points when shopping for groceries, booking a holiday, paying household bills, buying petrol and even eating and earn Nectar points every time they shop online via Nectar eStores at over 220 leading online retailers. The scheme was started in September 2002. It is not actually a Sainsbury's Loyalty Card as the Tesco Clubcard is for Tesco, although Sainsburys and BP are the key members in the scheme...
