Game collectors dig up treasures at yard auctions, buying a super-complete N64 console and game collection for only $40

Even though modern games are developing rapidly in all aspects of technology, many players still have a soft spot for old-generation game-related collections, and are even willing to spend a lot of money for it. As one of Nintendo’s most classic consoles in the 90s, all kinds of N64-related consoles and games often become fantastic items in the eyes of collectors, with high prices whether in physical retro stores or online auctions. However, according to a retro game collector, he recently dug up treasures at a family’s yard sale and bought a complete set of classic Nintendo console N64 and a large number of games for only $40.

In order to find relatively cheap or rare retro game products, many European and American collectors often come to some small yard or garage auctions for treasure hunting. Whether reselling or purely collecting, these gamers come to home auctions like these to find the best deals on used retro gaming merchandise, and in some cases, they find unexpected finds on such occasions. And a collector named FireSpin_Gaming recently shared on TikTok a treasure he dug up in a yard auction.

In the video, the player can hear FireSpin_Gaming quite surprised that such a complete and large collection has not been bought by anyone. After all, the cartridges of the original Super Smash Bros. can sell for between $20 and $60 on eBay, so the $40 for the whole set is certainly an unimaginable overkill for collectors. price.

If it is outside of this yard sale, it is certainly not easy to buy such a complete collection of N64 consoles, handles and game cartridges, and it may even cost hundreds of dollars for it A larger number of collectors are required to bid together. On the bright side, if you just want to relive these classic games launched on the N64 console instead of collecting them, then players don’t have to spend a lot of money to buy the original N64 console, but only need to use the game provided by the Nintendo Switch console. The NSO premium subscription service can play a large number of N64 classic games on this modern console, and the two works of “007 Golden Eye” and “Pokémon Arena” are currently confirmed to be added this year.
