Flea Market (La Pulga) Adventures

I just thought it would be neat to have a topic where we cool post some cool shit we found at our local flea market(s). I'll start this off :)

 

Today I found multiple stands with stacks and stacks of SNES, NES, and N64 games! I had come looking for N64 add-ons (I was dreaming about finding and N64DD) and had quite the success today.

 

At first, I had purchased an official N64 Gameboy Transfer Pak and an official Memory extension both of which plug into the N64 Controller. I had also purchased another N64 for modding/portabilizing purposes. I spent $30 USD for it all. It was probably a rip-off but I was pretty excited at the moment.

 

I also noticed a Rumble Pak and an NES Light Gun in one of the boxes filled with retro games. I didn't bother to buy either.

 

Later I decided to go to another retro gaming stand and sale the N64 I had just purchased earlier mainly because I felt like I needed to put some money back in my wallet. I hadn't bothered to notice that there was an official N64 Expansion Pak plugged into the N64 where the Jumper Pak would normally be. By the time I had noticed this, it was already too late; the guy who worked at that stand was inspecting it and testing it out with a Majora's Mask cartridge. I doubt he had any idea that Majora's Mask required the Expansion Pak and that he had chosen that game to test the system was merely a coincidence. At that moment, I noticed the beauty of it all and how I had somehow missed that important detail. He offered me $15 USD for the system while I tried to think of a way to get the expansion pak out of the system. In the end, I realized that taking the expansion pak out would cause the N64 to not be able to play any games since there was no jumper pak to replace it. I didn't want to rip-off the guy so I just accepted the offer without any complaint.

 

I looked on ebay later to see that expansion paks alone sale for up to $30 USD. Being a good person sucks! :(

30 bucks for an n64 is pretty decent, its a great deal if it has the expansion pack. My grandma gave an extra N64 and I sold it to a friend for 35 with expansion pack 2 controllers and dk64.

 

For a flea market deal I got a NES for 20 bucks, came with 2 controllers, all the wires, a loose copy of Milon's Secret Castle and it didn't need the pins replaced which is a plus and a good pay off for a 20 dollar gamble since the stores around me retail a NES for $45 with only one controller and a copy of Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt
