Does anyone know where i can find classic video game consoles, like hmmm i dunno know maybe a PSX, SNES, NES, and a N64 console with their games sold seperately on the same site?
Appreciate it.

Probably ebay.

I saw a Goodwill here where I live that had an NES... but they were auctioning it.

I really dunno any stores besides some in Japan that sell that. I know there are stores here in Maryland that do that, but I think they do not have an online store.

I bought a Commodore 64 on ebay a few weeks ago, very cheap too.

I've seen all those you've mentioned selling cheap to a single bidder before, so you might get lucky.

Sometimes a swapmeet is your good friend... Sometimes.

I'm looking for perfectly mint condition, still in good shape, workable, and playable. And of course budget friendly so i can go after the other old consoles.

Any more suggestions other than ebay, swapmeets, yard sales, and pawn shops?

i said i got them in flea markets.
and the most expensive system was an atari 2600 black finish with 8 games, in its box, for (back then) 20 dlls. adjusting, it might be 15 dlls.

i wouldnt sell anything anyway, i buy, not sell, unless i have a second copy of a game.
they are all in working condition.
little dusted, but that was cleaned and now look like brand new.

>Old school
>Nintendo 64
>Playstation

I don't think so, Tim.

Additionally, this might be right up your alley (http://www.ebay.com/).

Dodgesxt, I can tell you right now to get used to one of two things(maybe even both):

1. Learn to be very, very patient and thorough. When you see a store that might even REMOTELY have something to do with video games, check it out. Wait a week, then check it again. Make sure you ask them if they even bother carrying/taking in trade the aforementioned systems and games(This is how I got Suikoden 2 ten years after its release for $40.).

2. Learn to either accept inflated prices or negotiate like a fiend. All too often, you will come across stores(online or not) that overestimate how popular a game is. Case in point: one of my local stores here has Super Mario 3 for the NES. Now, SMB3 is a good game, and I have many fond memories...but there is no way in hell that I'm spending $35 on it, especially seeing as how they have around 10 copies sitting there at this moment. Fortunately, I have another store to choose from that sells it for $25.

SO...those are the two golden rules that I've learned the harsh realities of. I will pass on a little more bit of advice: it seems like you're insistent on getting the ACTUAL consoles(very admirable), but if you want a stand in until you get them, there are some sort of 'retro systems' that pack two systems into one(SNES/NES, Genesis/SMS, etc), and they sell at one of my stores(Play N Trade) for $10. Not a bad price, all things considered.

I wish you luck in your search...depending on your games list, you might need it!

i had my NES since before i was born (belonged to my parents, that explains why i have VEGAS DREAM).

so, since there are NES clone systems, im seriously thinking of purchasing one in order to use that instead of my aging nes.

Do you have a Pink Godzilla in your vicinity? You can purchase some classic consoles there.

Well, Game Stop has cleared out anything older than PS1 about 5 years ago and I have no EB Games local so for me that would leave 2 small businesses, 1 a hobby store and the other a small game store that's kinda tucked away and actually has been here for about a year but I had no idea because there sign looks like it's for insurance or a travel agency.

That's what you should be looking for.
