I love going out to flea markets and building my collection of games. I've found so many awesome gems from people who don't know what they're selling. I got a boxed Dreamcast with four controllers (all four in their boxes, and only one had been opened), two VMU's, and 10 games for $25! A lot of times it's hit or miss, but it's so awesome when you find something worthwhile. I hate the people who buy up all the games early and resell them for their price on eBay. But overall, it's an enjoyable experience and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to build up their collection. You never know what you'll find!
It was really fun back in the days before eBay become so popular and widespread. The stuff that was at flea markets 15 years ago was really crazy. I hardly go out any more because the local market is not what it once was.

Just watching this reminds me of the Sega Game Gear my dad bought for me at one of these flea market when I was young.
Came with a lot of Sonic games. ^_^
I used to always visit pawn shows and other second-hand stores for old games. You may even find some from this generation.
