Here in US, over the weekend you can find garage sales, where people sell some of stuff for couple of bucks. In the last couple of weeks I was able to get some interesting stuff, such as MS Sidewinder Force-Feedback Pro joystick for 2 bucks, PII 350MHz computer for 3 bucks, 17" monitor (for my parents) for 6 bucks, speakers (also for my parents) - 1 buck.

But best thing I bought is Sega CD Shinning Force, in the great condition, 1 buck.

What methods of finding old stuff you guys have? :)

Kolaporti?. It's like.. A HUGE garage sale. A big indoor market.

Cheap, old stuff? Grave robbing. You would not believe the deals you can get. They're practically giving that stuff away! I haven't bought undergarments from a department store for 4 years now, the bargains are just that good!

I don't see many garage sales anymore, its a shame really, they are always worth checking out.

That's great!!
I paid around 23 bucks for a Compaq Deskpro 6300 MX PII @ 300, with 4 Mb onboard video.I didn't get anything else other than the onboard video, mainboard + proc, and power supply...

This guy wanted to sell his stuff, that's why price was so low. Usually computers here are around 10-20 bucks.

I did not get IBM XT (i think it was that one) for same price (3 bucks). I have first to organize stuff I already have, then I will get some other stuff.

I am actually looking for older Amiga, C64, Speccy etc computers... or for some old consoles (NES, SMS etc.)

still got my 48k speccy stashed somewhere. tapes got throwen out though!! :ranting:

Today you can download all Spec games, and it's not hard to get them from PC back to tape ;)

Auctions and flea markets are generally good places to go to find interesting stuff. Last month, I managed to buy a bunch of NES games for $20 at an auction. Granted, I really only go to auctions to buy the boxed lots for my booth at the flea market, but from time to time I get some good deals for myself.

Why are they selling them so cheap?
