So I'm going to my first major flea market tomorrow. And I've made a shopping list of things I'd like. I was wondering if you guys could help me with what a "normal" or price you'd pay for these items and not eBay prices which you'd see from resellers.

NES
PSX
Dreamcast
NES games
PSX games
SNES games

Thanks in advance and all advice is welcome.

prices are on a case by case basis
use your mobile phone

Just use your phone to look up eBay prices. eBay prices are usually pretty good.

Bring fleas, therefore avoiding paying for any while at the market, but still allowing you to participate in the tournament.

This is a flea market, not a retro game convention. You won't need a shopping list and you'll be lucky if you find anything decent, much less for a good price.

$60 for an NES are you insane?

Sheit son look at what they go for other places.
Ebay they are hard to find under 100$.

What the fuck? Why? I never check eBay for prices on NES. How the fuck did that system get so expensive?

>> No.2514516

>>2514508
Because eBay is a fucked up market where the sellers can manipulate prices.

Seriously. A friend of mine went to a small shop somewhere in New York and bragged about getting an NES. She payed $100 for the system, cables, 2 controllers, Mario/Duck Hunt, and a Zapper. I couldn't believe it.

But how did it get that high? It's common as fuck, old and dated I wouldn't pay more than $25 for one.

but a lot of other people would

Also, consoles with moving parts can be a red flag and risk.

They're like 40 dollars from a brick and mortar reseller, eBay prices have people paying crazy prices because people think eBay prices are at all indicative of an actual going price. eBay is a consortium of scum who rip people off to make a profit after eBays ludicrous commission

exactly
point is, it'll still sell so why would they lower their prices?

They don't though, I've seen listings up for years for overpriced pieces of shit and if someone does pay for it they're legitimately being scammed

It won't sell for that in real life though because it just can't, people who buy shit on eBay are largely an entirely different market, consisting of suckers with more money than sense and the scum that scam them
