does a mislabel really warrant making a text-less thread like there's a lot to say about the image?

At first I thought this thread was about those cunts that put price stickers over the game labels. That shit triggers the fuck out of me.

>mfw I sold a dozen N64 games, system, and accessories for only $30 at a yard sale.

>>377632915
implying they were even worth that much.

these "retro" stores are the biggest rip off ever no one should ever buy from them.

>>377632673
It's not the mislabeling, it's how overpriced it is. 40 burgers for a such an old game is rediculous.

>>377632614
>implying I still don't have my games from my childhood that I still enjoy
>implying you can't find deals for the games you're missing

Retards calling others retards. Kek.

>>377633034
for a physical object in limited supply that still has a decent demand, I don't see what's strange about it

wouldn't say if it was a digital version

>>377633034
Funny thing is the longer it sits there, the more justified the price is going to be. People's cartridges won't last forever and collectors won't care about the price if they can't find it anywhere else.

>>377633229
>Funny thing is the longer it sits there, the more justified the price is going to be
Maybe in 100 fucking years when it is ACTUALLY in short supply

I would offer the store owner 10 dollars for the DK cart, and leave if he refused
There is literally no reason to spend 40 burgers on a game that is very common and easily emulated

Good luck if it's a chain like play it again games. Bartering doesn't exist there

just buy a everdrive

>35 bucks for DKR
what the hell, that game was always cheap as hell.
Same with THPS1 and DK64.

*leaves the store*
Wow that sure was difficult

>>377633943
Honestly unless your collection is pretty big already this or emulation are your only realistic options. It just isn't worth it getting into the scene if you're new to it so I couldn't recommend either of those options enough but would side with the everdrive as N64 emulation is ass.

>>377632915
N64 ain't even that old or retro.

Are N64 games really going for that price? I've got Paper Mario, SM64, both Banjos and DKR. Plus stuff like Waveracer and shit.

>>377635003

Paper Mario is worth ~80$ cartridge only

Scarcity brings value

>>377635003
Conpared to shit like nes, gc or snes, N64 collection is not really that expensive
Paper Mario and both Banjos are kinda expensive (specially Tooie). Mario 64 is not that pricey.
DKR and WaveRace are really cheap.
If you have shit like pokestadium 2, Conker, Majora or Goemon, you can get lots of cash.

>>377635479
They aren't fucking scarce. Besides games like Earthbound, tons of games are inflated to astronomical prices. The market for owning the physical game is low. We can play 99% of old games over emulator.

Smash Melee still sits around $50. It's an old game in HIGH demand since it's still used for tournaments today. Sunshine is $50 because of the retro gaming bubble.

>>377635195
wow that really sounds like shit, how old was your friend

>>377632494
Why did I turn into a chicken in Turok Rage Wars? I never understood that when me and friends played multiplayer.

>Childhood friend sold all of his n64 games (about 30) a few years ago for $10 dollars
>He's now buying them back for ebay tier prices

he's finally back to kickflip some tailgrab

>>377635479
the retro speculators market is overpriced even by that metric

>tfw I bought a copy of Banjo-Kazooie for $8
>sold it to some guy for $30 a few years later

>>377632494
I wouldnt even pay a dollar for an n64 game, cartridges are worthless now.

>>377636073
Unless there was a mass burning of Banjo carts, there's no reason for such a spike.

>>377635593
I have Pokemon Stadium 2 actually. How much does that run?

>>377633023
I thought gamestop was ripping people off until I stepped into one of those

>>377635106
People don't understand that just because something is rare, it doesn't mean it's worth a shit load. It's completely dependent on demand, and even then you still need to find the right buyer who wants it that much.
Fuck the internet, it ruined everything.

>>377636167
>guy trying to find retro games to relive his childhood comes up to my yard sale
>asks how much for Banjo-Kazooie
>pull out my phone, pretend to look stuff up
>tell him it's $30 because I checked ebay (I actually didn't)
>he buys it without even asking

>>377636185
Last time I checked it was like $35.
Depending on it's state, maybe you can get 50 bucks.

Where do people get good new n64 controllers now? My old pair have worn down sticks and it looks like its impossible to get a replacement that isn't a shitty 3rd party imitation.

>>377636617
ebay

>>377636617
m8, first party n64 controllers have really shitty sticks

At least I got kirby superstar from him for free. Apparently all his friends only ever wanted to play Kirby whenever then were over and he hated the game.

I'd still have it if not for the great "momma needs her gambling money" of '06.
Lost a lot of good games that day...

>>377636716
Are there 3rd parties that make bettter pads?

>>377636820
HORI

>>377636716
The replacement ones, specially those gamecube ones, are worse than the originals.
>>377636617
Either ebay, fleamarkets or fixing it yourself.

>>377636820
You can buy a replacement joystick on Amazon for like $3 and replace it really easily. There's plenty of guides online.

>"momma needs her gambling money"
Should've told her to fuck off

>>377635106
Yeah, I don't want dirt cheap, but if you're going to sell at the exact same price as the Internet, then I'll just buy it from the Internet. Yard sales and flea markets want to get RID of their stuff. Don't sell shit at market price if you want stuff to sell. Sell slightly under, even 10 dollars off will make it go fast.

>>377637012
I'll look into this then. The buttons and shell on my old pads are still fantastic, but the sticks are FUBAR.

I own DK64 and it is definitely not worth forty dollars.

>>377637023
What the fuck. Who goes for gardening supplies?
I mean you made a great deal, but why that?

>>377636889
This I have a Hori and playing starfox 64 feels so fucking natural now

>>377637120
I was only 17 at the time.
She took them out of my bedroom while I was at school.
And at this point I was fully aware of her gambling addiction, but it was that moment when I realized that there was no hope for change from her.
She lost custody about 3 months later.

Upvote my blog, etc etc

hearty kek

This is just some of the better shit I got

>>377632494
Man those are some pretty shit prices at least had the decency to keep the price labels off the carts so points to him for that.

Is the Majora one the holographic one? That one costa more than Regular Majora.

>tfw garage sale season is nearly here
Only place to get old games now that thrift stores are basing their prices off of fucking ebay

>>377639458
Yup

>>377632494
Only N64 cart I actually bought after the N64 era was OOT, I overpaid (cost $30) but it was the one game I always wanted to play on the N64, I don't regret it.

>>377639750
That's cool.
Props for having both Goemon games, they're hard as fuck to get.
