Are flea markets good for old games at a good price?

That's like asking is a casino a good place to make money. Sure, I suppose there's that chance, but often it's just luck and most of what you see you can't be too sure about.

I, personally, have had bouts of great luck at flea markets and thrift stores... but it's a gamble. More than 75% of the time I find almost nothing, yet some days I hit the jackpot.

Yeah I guess it's really hit or miss. I've only been to a flea market a few times in the last 10-15 years and really haven't found much. At the same time, I've found some gems in pawn shops for dirt cheap. A few examples are a mint black label, complete Silent Hill for PS1 for $10, and Metal Gear Solid w/ box and book for Gameboy Color for $5. I rarely go into the indy game stores around here anymore, simply because their prices are beyond retarded.
