What makes you assume I don't?

today was the day i stopped collecting, fuck.

we only have one flea market here and it's once a month, crowded as fuck and now some people are searching for games

no point anymore, it's been a fun run

Flea Markets are cool here in Puerto Rico, you can find many retro games pretty cheap because people don't like to bother with eBay. They just want to get rid of them.

I should definitely try going to them more often.

Friend let me down again so I didn't go for the second week in a row, definitely going alone next week. Also

>general
end yourself bruv

There are absolutely no flea markets near me, and I'm in the middle of a goddamn city. And no car to travel all around to the various suburbs.

I'm pretty much forced to use ebay. I'll never get any fantastic steals, but oh well

Ignore the price on King's Knight.

Everything here was $3 a pop.

I went once to one of those and it was filled to the brim with consoles and games, old and new, original and pirated. Didn't even ask the prices, though I assume they can't be that abusive compared to what internet resellers try to shove. I intend to go next Sunday looking primarily for stuff for my PS2 (an extra controller and Memory Card) and check out on the retro consoles.

I live in Brazil, by the way. Anything and everything costs about twice its usual price because of imbued taxes and general use of Gérson's law (take advantage over everyone). They're seriously selling NES consoles at 400 bucks.

Was with family all weekend, but planning to go to labor day sales at Salvation Army's in my area and then see Guardians of the Galaxy.

Which one of you killed retrogamehunter?

bump

I was on gypsy flea market not far from where i live.

I mus't say I wasn't impressed. Bunch of PS1s i saw SNES but it was really banged up...

Yeah an I found PS3 for 25€ that I could have bartered for even cheaper price but I don't even have a tv and I'm poor as fuck to risk it not working....

Other than thad I found guy selling bunch of masturbation aids not knowing what they are and bunch of old stuff. Yeah and Peavy professional monitor thats like hundreds of dosh for 30€.

>Buy first-gen slim PS3
>hack
>play a bunch of old games

Nostalgia is hitting me like nothing else right now. Could have gotten a RasPi for the same purpose, but meh, not interested in late 90s anyway, save for PC.

Carmageddon, Bedlam, Abe's Oddysee, A+M+O+K, Quake and Quake 2. 1 pound each with their original cases, disks and manuals and even in little bags to keep them all seperate, according to the woman her husband loved the old PC games and played them alot. also had Doom 1 and 2, and Final Doom.

I know that feel.

Back when I had my wii, I used it almost exclusively to play SNES and NES emulators. They were nicely done, playing romhacks flawlessly, even with cover art support.

In my country (Chile) ther's a big as fuck flea market known as "Bio-bio Persian Market" and it's several squares long. There's a lot of good stuff there. All my childhood I used to go and trade for SNES games there, those were nice memories

>Selling refreshments in summer with my brothers
>Gather like 30 USD from those sales
>Go with my brothers and my dad to the "Persian Market" and buy a used copy of super metroid.
>Play the fuck out of that game with my brothers for months
>those feels.

In new year's eve, we still pop out our old N64 with my brothers and play Mortal Kombat trilogy to decide "this year's mortal kombat champion".

Every time Kings Knight comes up, it seems like someone got it at a flea market.

Was it even sold in stores?
