It'll be hard to find anything worth owning below market value these days outside of yard sales, estate sales, etc. and you'll have to compete with resellers looking for merch there, too. The days of finding $2 PS2 classics at Salvation Army or buying a GameCube and 10 games for $40 are long gone.

It's a huge bummer. I miss when every single hobby wasn't monetized.

I went to a yard sale a few weeks ago, and the guy said that he had an NES but people showed up at like 8 and had a bidding war for it

Yeah, that sounds about right. I felt like I hit the jackpot the fall before COVID when I spur of the moment decided to drop my wife off at work and hit up a few yard sales and one actually had a handful of N64 games. Jet Force Gemini ain't a masterpiece but for $2 it's a deal.
