    Default Getting back into the scene

    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!
    Be excellent to one another. Party on dudes!

    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.
