If you don't give them your business, they will leave. I experienced the heart-break of having a place called Starland leave on me shortly after discovering it. oh how I miss my Starland. I swear, there aren't any other places around like that place was.Bubbles wrote:Yeah, I've noticed that too.17daysolderthannes wrote:it is, but gold still sells for more because its one of those games that tend to be overbid for by noobs rather than collectors.Bubbles wrote:I believe Gold Zelda is actually more common than Grey Zelda.dragonball345 wrote:I saw a gold zelda at a shop near me are they valuable?
My local game shop (run by people who know their stuff) has properly priced Gold and Grey Zeldas.
I don't buy stuff from them much cause the internet is much cheaper, but I like idly browsing there.

As always, though, yardsales, flea markets, and rummage sales are your best bets. Hit 'em hard, hit 'em often, and never take a weekend off!

More like selling people's uh, manchildhood off, because most of these classic systems are twenty years old.grossaffe wrote:love yardsales. parents sell their kids' childhoods for dirt-cheap.Mister X wrote:Try Salvation Army thrift stores.

that's the thing, the kids are older, probably in college now or just found a place. the parents decide "i'm sure he doesn't need this stuff anymore", and sell it all for $10.Mister X wrote:More like selling people's uh, manchildhood off, because most of these classic systems are twenty years old.grossaffe wrote:love yardsales. parents sell their kids' childhoods for dirt-cheap.Mister X wrote:Try Salvation Army thrift stores.

Funny thing was, I wound up with my friend's brother's old stuff. apparently his stuff was sold at one point, and then I bought it off the people who bought it off him. pretty awesome, if you you ask me.

The physical collectors market as all but dried up in my area. Back in high school you could walk into any goodwill and pick up an NES and a couple of decent games for under $10, but now systems are only avalible online - or if you are really lucky, at the flea market. The flea market and the one independent game store in town are always a good resource for games, but hardware is a tricky find.
I wish goodwill was better for old games.
