best places to get retro games in victoria

[jayman2142]

Hi im new to forum and collecting, only been a couple months but i was wondering if anyone new of some good markets or shops to go to?
Ive been on ebay like everyone ive realised that it can be quite expensive unless your lucky and get a decent deal, even then you still need to add postage.
ive also tried pawn shop owners but they generally know what their stock is worth so they charge a premium.

So this leaves me with flea markets and trash/tresure markets which i try to attend as much as i can but due to work i cant always travel for up to 2 hours in hopes of a bargain.
So does anyone know of any good markets for gamers or any sort of hotspots as it were?
Thank you kindly
and if this is in the wrong section or not done properly i apoligize in advance.

It depends what stuff you are after.
Lobos Collectables in Northcote (http://www.facebook.com/people/Lobos-Co ... 51?sk=info) said they were going to stock some vintage Nintendo stuff. That was about three months ago, so they must have by now. At least they have the original TRON arcade machine at the back, that alone is worth a visit.
If you are after Game & Watch games, there is Cashies shop up north that has a few of those, if you don't mind paying $60-$80 a piece.

Ill give lobos collectables a shit never heard of em before so might be something hopefully.
60 to 80 bucks sounds decent for game n watches i guess depending on condition so i might check that out to.
