Just thought I would share my N64 collection with the retro gaming community on Lemmy. Let me know if you have any questions.

    I had the same question. If I had to guess, I’d say they buy bundles of games often, where the bundle includes a game they already have but 4 games they also want. The price is right and the condition is good so why not? If a cart ever fails you have a backup right there. If the value goes up (likely) you can sell one of the copies down the line.

    Edit: nvm, op replied here

      Yeah it’s flea market strategy. If you try to buy one game, non-knowledgeable flea market seller thinks that game must be valuable, jacks the price up, puts it on display. But if you act like it’s just a box of old games, haggle them down on it like you just want some old games for your old system.

      Yeah I couldn’t reply to the post. They are variants though. My extra cartridges are on the very bottom right shelf.
