You always have to learn and know your local market. Build a relationship with regular sellers.
I need to find a better market, ha. In the state of Florida there are only two prominent independent retailers who are on the border between the state and Georgia, and then the other all the way at the bottom in Miami. Flea markets are usually bare for N64 stuff, two nearby within 25 miles don't carry any at all.

However when I go up North on vacation near the border of Canada, there's a small game store only a couple miles away and a bunch of flea markets who all carry N64 items for a decent price. I think it's all regional. The catch is while there is an available market for retro video games, the price to vacation up there is expensive, I'm up there to fish on the great lakes so supplies and permits are costly also. Money-wise it would be more devastating than Vegas, ha. Pack a bunch of fish and electronics in my luggage. :rollseyes:

In conclusion, I need to move, lol.

Well dont bother coming to England (and I mean that in the nicest way). All of our little independent gaming shops closed years ago. Game and Gamestation rule the roost now and they've long stopped selling N64 bits

Awwh, that sucks. :( So is your buying just from friends and eBay?

Well it turns out as of 2011, In the state of Florida USA, there is now only one retro video game retailer: Game Over Video Games who is technically not even located in Florida, lol. It's on the border of Georgia and Florida. At least a 4 hour drive for me and their prices are only ok.

If your looking to open up a shop, Orlando Florida would be prime real estate if your willing to do battle with those evil corporate outlets! >:-]

What a shame... ;_;

The gamestation in my area still sell retro games including N64 but admittedly,not much.
I was in there recently & a guy was trying to sell his N64.They offered him £1 :o It came with 2 controllers,rumble pack,mem card,expansion pack,DK64,SM64 & south park.I bought it off him for £10.I figured the expansion pack was worth that.

Typical of Game and Gamestation (both owned by Game). £1!!! What a joke. What annoys me is they'd do that and then mark it up and sell it on for £30-£40
oooooooo! Ive just become an 'advanced member'! :dance:

:w00t: uhmmm, Yeah! lol. Nevermind I guess I can't offer you anything your just way too good. :yeah: I don't think even Finngamer has those! What a nice collection.

Unless your willing to sell for cash, but that's okay anyway, I just can never find those N64 hats on eBay, so tricky to pinpoint.

Just curious though, what made you wanna get 5 of the same hat? lol

If you look closely they're not ALL the same. The middle one is more of a denim look, both peak and hat. There is 1 Kelloggs version and the other 3 are the same white N64 hats. I just pick them up when I see them. I'm a bit like MK, anything with the N64 logo gets scooped up! :n64:

Bought The Legend Of Zelda - Ocarina Of Time 3D today. it came with an extra box with different artwork and a poster inside. Also snapped up a nice freebie: a security gate slipcover with 3DS promotion. i already have one with a Donkey Kong Country Returns theme so this could be the beginning of another collection :)

ETA: re-registered at www.club-nintendo.com (my previous account there had relapsed) to register the Zelda game and i've been rewarded with a free soundtrack CD ! Stocks are limited (probably on a per-country basis) so go there ASAP if you've bought the game!

this is the droolworthy promo poster:

The CDs in Canada were sold out within a week of the game coming out. I was too late :( so I never ended up picking up my copy of the game I preordered (I do not have a 3DS yet but wanted the soundtrack)

I knew it ;_; mainly because that packaging with the controller + blue background seems to be the European releases. The other version with the red/gray background was in the US I think.

Ninty64: let me know if you'd like to sell that black version. Got a gray one you're hiding maybe? :phear:

DDR, I'll certainly have a think about it and I'll have a look too. The ones in the photo are a selection of the ones I have so there are more hiding in a box somewhere in the loft. When I've had a look i'll let you know. 8)

Good buy eh!?

I even have the GBA game aswell which I bought a while ago. So the total of the game and game guide has only set me back £2.50. Not bad for Zelda stuff if I do say so myself. :D
