i used to go to alot of flea markets when i was a freshman in high school ... around 1994ish. i'd buy the systems for about $5, clean em up and dump them at a local pawn shop for a $20 profit.

the pawn shop didn't need the systems anymore, and i had about 8-10 left on me. i think i have about 200+ games, 20+ controlers, 10+ paddles, and countless RF switches.

i know that there's a giant retro kick going on, and i was wondering if there's any money in these old systems.

so what causes that?
having to blow the games or nes to get the games to work
ive never thought about that
worn pin connector.
they're cheap and easy to replace.

all that's left after doing that is to clean the cartridges with a wet Q-tip (rub away with wet one, let them air dry), and it works like new.
