    Found a few decent games at CD Trader again, luckily I had just received a Visa gift card, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford any of it.

    TMNT III - The Manhattan Project (NES) $4.99
    Double Dragon (NES) $4.99
    Shadowgate 64 (N64, Complete) $5.99
    Shemnue (Dreamcast, Complete) $14.99 - Been wanting this for a while, never saw it at Play N Trade when there was one around me, so I was pretty psyched when I saw it in the case

    South Florida retro gamer reporting in! Besides Swap Shop and a local Play n Trade, there aren't really any stores that regularly carry retro games...

    Such a shame.

    I know this is a south florida thread, but does anyone know of any good places in Orlando? All the thrift stores never seem to have anything, and I've only been to one flea market since I moved here.

    There's a decent flea market in Sanford called Flea World, it's just outside of Orlando.

    the only one i ever went to in orlando moved or shut down, it used to be on bumby, close to the skate shops beta & covert, their selection sucked anyway, so it wasnt too big of a loss


    best places to go are the flea market in sanford which isnt to far north from orlando like has been suggested, there are a couple of retro booths and they all usually give you good deals if u buy a couple or are a regular, havent been in like 2 years tho, so maybe its changed


    if you ever make it to kissimmee theres one on 192 that just opened, he used to operate closer to my house but then got new ownership and the guy running it is a fucking dick, he acts like he's the one doing me a favor by allowing me the priviedge to spend money there, i havent been to the new location but it used to be pretty decent before the move so...there u go

    Thanks; I've been to the flea market at Sanford and there were a few booths, but nothing spectacular. This was a year ago, and I had kinda lost my passion for collecting, I was looking more for MTG cards at the time.

    I actually live right across the street from the Hobby Spot, but if I recall most of their prices were kinda steep.

    I'll keep looking around here, I need to go to more yard sales then maybe I'll stumble upon something.

    Default Nothing

    I've been looking for any retro games and systems. I recently went to the Flea Market on Sample Road. There was nothing.

    Ok, I'm back, sorta, kinda, still on the hunt.

    I've been hitting up the CD Trader on Sheridan lately. Picked up a couple R5 rarity genesis games there.

    Does anyone know of any other CD/Movie trader type places in the area? I need a different kind of store to supplement my thrift runs.
