Old vidieo games to watch for

**miked** · 10-27-2012, 09:04 PM

Role playing games are always a favorite. In addition the Mario series of games continue to sell well. I was selling used video games at fleamarkets and the harder to find games I would bid on 10-15 auctions for the same game. If I won one I was happy, and if I won more I was happier. The key for me was to set a max bid of the same amount with consideration to shiping and could count on winning at least one. There were times when the bidding would get silly and people would bid higher than a buy now auction available at the same time. Its like most other things that are collectable you need to know the market and current value. Mike.

Hmm.. I'll have to keep my eyes open, but off the top of my head, I don't recall any particular RPGs for the N64. I know the Final Fantasy series was popular, but they were primarily Super NES and Playstation. I'll do a little more research. Regarding the online auctions, that's something I haven't quite delved into yet. It looks promising, but I haven't worked up the courage to just dive right in.

On a separate note, I notice that you live in J-ville. Do you ever find anything interesting on the Lejeune Yard Sales website?

Yes I did use Lejeune Yard Sale extensively when I was selling video games and othe used stuff at the flea market, far more than Craigs List. I have found it. Lejeune Yard Sales, far less productive in producing computer scrap than Craigs List.

There are just a couple of Role Playing games in the N64 system, one was a Mario game but I don't recall the others. Mike

Ah. Well in the event that I ever make it back out there, I'll have to check the site out. I figure that site along with the J-ville Craigslist page would be a pretty good source of various low price items considering that there are always Marines coming and going from that place. I wouldn't buy a used vehicle out there, though. I've seen way too many LCpls with no sense buy brand new cars and try to soup them up or repair them on their own without professional assistance and end up ruining an otherwise perfectly good car.
