After lurking on these boards for months, I grew anxious to return to the thrift store/flea market scene around town, where I built up my collection of games years ago. It's been about 5 years since I did any real searching for retrogames, but after reading all these posts about what folks are finding, I wanted to try my luck.
I hit 10 area thrift stores about a week ago, and came up with only 4 boxed intellivision games that I already had. The thrift stores seem pretty much void of games these days, except for a few Sega Genesis sports games.
This weekend, however, I went to a local flea market and found the following:
3D Tic-Tac-Toe (Atari VCS) - $2
Sneak and Peek (Atati VCS) - $4
Colecovision system w/ two controllers - $5
There were a few booths there with large amounts of NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, GameBoy, and Playstation games. I did a quick scan of those but didn't get anything this time around. Heck, I'm not even sure what to look for from that generation of games, other than ones I do not already have.
Anyway, it was good to get back into the game. Ah, the thrill of the hunt.

I went to the local video game store and found a copy of Dracula X for the snes for $25, I had a coupon for 20% off so I ended up getting it for $20. I've been trying to get ahold of that game forever!

Something like that is 100% dependent on location and condition. I paid $200 for that one, but another antique seller may consider it worth $1000 or $100. There aren't many of these left out there so I suspect it's a case of buy what you find if you're willing to pay, more than it is about some market value.
