The Great South Florida Thread

[ThoughtBomb]

I'm luckily in close driving proximity of 2 PlayNTrades. Other than that, this thread has opened up a lot of possible places for me to visit. I'm also going to subscribe to this thread, cause I wouldn't mind dealing locally. Cool thread.

If you're interested in possible finds at the Fort Lauderdale flea market (whatever it's called), another collector told me of his past finds there:

Daytona Netlink - $5
Tons of sealed PS1 RPGs - $5
Various boxed NES games - $2-$10

This was back in 2004-2006 area though, so I'm not sure what it's like...but it sounds like a lot of stuff moves through there at times.

Bah. Too many Miami people in this thread.


Still. :/

You should. There was stuff I wanted from you a while back.

Agreed. WPB or bust.

I have to admit, I don't remember many places in Palm Beach for finds. I wasn't actively looking before I moved to Orlando though. Are they still having the weekly flea market under I-95 in Lake Worth? I used to buy all my NES games there as a kid.

They moved the Flea Market into Lake Worth High campus when they renovated the Tri-rail station but yeah, it's still going. We've got a couple Play N Trades now too, and Stuart has a decent flea that's not too far of a drive.

That's mainly becuase we probably have the least amount of finds in our area

Went to some Pawn shops in Naples today andmade a few other stops. Best find of the day was a Sega CDX and N64 for $15 for both, all the other games were $3-5, Zoop was $8 and Firehouse rescue was $15, but that one is a pain to find in the box. In all a great day. Finally have a cdx after looking for one for almost a year.

I dunno. I've done pretty well when I actually get a chance to go out. I just don't usually post about it.

Play n Trade on Miramar Parkway just east of I-75 is closed.
and the PnT off US1 in Oakland Park has drastically jacked up all their retro prices beyond ebay levels. $120 for FFVII GH. $30 for SMS After Burner.

Yeah, been closed for 3 or 4 months now. Shame, since my university is right there. Used to walk right over when I was done with class. But the guys working there were all slackers. I saw it coming.

Sorry I misread. Thought you meant that West Palm had shitty finds. Although Miami's only 2 hours by train, it may as well be another Country from here. Although I've lived in Florida all my life I've only been down there 3 times, and that's counting a trip to the Zoo.

Yeah well that's about all there is here, just one big zoo...haha

Don't forget the confusing overpasses and enormous amounts of traffic.
...and the overhyped, dirty beaches.

Indeed. And the hobos that live by those confusing overpasses/enormous amounts of traffic.

Hey, was anybody here at the PnT on Flamingo and Sheridan yesterday? When I was there I saw another retro-gamer. Was that anybody here?

Not me...you should've asked for their username!

[BetaWolf47]

How was I supposed to know if they were a DPer?

[ThoughtBomb]

Just ask em "hey, do you know of the DP forum?" And it all goes from there!
