Appreciate it.
I saw a Goodwill here where I live that had an NES… but they were auctioning it.
I’ve seen all those you’ve mentioned selling cheap to a single bidder before, so you might get lucky.
Any more suggestions other than ebay, swapmeets, yard sales, and pawn shops?
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.
i dont know why, but that sounded like you want a colecovision factory sealed for 1 dll.
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.

I don’t think so, Tim.
Additionally, this might be right up your alley (http://www.ebay.com/).
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!
so, since there are NES clone systems, im seriously thinking of purchasing one in order to use that instead of my aging nes.
I have 2 NES and 2 PSX actually. And they both work.
I guess you’ve never watched Home Improvement?
I have officially lost all faith in humanity. lol, j/k.
That’s what you should be looking for.
