Found this today at the Flea Market and snagged it for $5.

Looking for info, value, use, whatever you can throw at me.

I live in Northeast Georgia but I found this gem at the J&J Flea Market (http://www.jandjfleamarket.com/) in Athens, GA. It's a massive place.

I was surprised to find it considering I arrived at 10am. I had a late start this morning because I overslept.

Holy shit, I was there this morning! Rifled through a bunch of N64 carts at various tables, but never saw that, you lucky bastard.

But yeah, I'm interested to see what it does too. Have you tried it out yet?

Oh wait, I found this:

This guy may have came after you walked through. He had a few SNES/N64 games and was trying to get $12 each. For whatever reason, he had a $5 sticker on this cart though. It's also very easy to miss shit there.

I'm going to test it tomorrow afternoon when I have a chance to pull my N64 out.

Thanks. You know what's funny? When I got back to the car to leave, I was most excited about the Sega Sports Dreamcast. :\

I think the last one of these sold for a bit over 100. They're pretty damn rare because there weren't alot of Nintendo Repair Centers left by the time the 64 was going.

Graaahhhh, I think I saw that guy, but I saw the games were marked $12 and figured it wasn't even worth shuffling through them at that price. Well, that'll teach me to be more thorough. Still, kudos to you, good sir, for your find. I've found my share of cool stuff at J&J's.

That is seriously a great find. You should be able to get at least $100-$200 for it. There hasn't been one on ebay for a while, and with it being Christmas time, you may be able to get a higher price than normal.

I think I remember hearing there are issues getting this to run on a normal N64 without extra hardware, though maybe that was just a single example.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll worry about selling this thing after Christmas.

I still haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I will before I leave Thursday to see family in South Carolina. If everything works, I'll post some pictures up.
