The Nintendo 64 is one of the best video game systems ever released with games as great as Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, and Zelda Ocarina of Time. But the stores are no longer selling the games and it can be difficult for reputable sites to buy them online. When you find a place that sells the games, the prices are still too high for you. So where can you look for the best deals on Nintendo 64 games? Below are four places to look for the best prices and maybe even get a rare game for cheap.

Pawnshops –

They aren’t known for having the largest selection of games, but this helps you find some rare ones at great prices. Video games make up a small part of the pawn shop business, so they don’t always know the value of what they have. Sometimes the prices are too high and other times you will find incredible offers. Amid the pricey $ 10 Madden 98 games, you might find a Zelda for $ 5. It takes a bit of patience and shopping, but pawn shops are very high on the scale of finding great deals.

Flea markets –

Around here, there are usually a couple of video game stands set up at local flea markets. They sell all kinds of video games and usually carry things as old as the Nintendo 64 (and often even old). Merchants generally know video games a little better, so it can be more difficult to find a really low price on a game, but the selection is probably much better, too. Also, many sellers will allow a bit of haggling over prices, so feel free to ask if you can buy a set for a little less than the list price.

Independent video game stores –

Forget your Gamestops and EBGames, they stopped carrying Nintendo 64 games quite a while ago. Find the nearest independent video game store. They usually have older generation systems like the Nintendo 64. The prices will likely be the highest on this list, but they generally have good selections and a number of hard-to-find games, plus the employees are knowledgeable. Don’t expect to go and find Super Smash Bros for $ 5 though, they generally know how much everything is worth and value games accordingly.

Online Stores –

There are many websites specializing in older generation consoles and they will offer many Nintendo 64 games. If you simply search for “Nintendo 64 games”, hundreds of sites will appear that specialize in the N64. Your selection will be the best. And they are usually cheaper than stores, but more expensive than pawn shops and flea markets. You can quickly compare prices on various websites to find the best deals.

Try some of these techniques to find great Nintendo 64 game deals near you. Finding a super low price on a hard-to-find game feels great, and hunting is fun, too. Good luck and start your search.
