Garage and yard sales are two of the only places where it’s still possible to find genuinely good deals on retro games. Resellers and game collectors alike prowl yard sales for the best retro gaming deals, and sometimes they’re rewarded for their efforts with practical goldmines. This was the case for TikTok user FireSpin_Gaming, who documents their yard sale adventures on their page.

One recent video by FireSpin_Gaming amassed over 100,000 views, depicting an incredible yard sale find where they got a great deal on a bundle of Nintendo 64 games and hardware. The haul included multiple Nintendo 64 controllers of various colors and a tote of games. The condition of the games varied, but some of the titles spotted in the video included some of the Nintendo 64’s absolute best titles, like the original Super Smash Bros., Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, Pokemon Stadium, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye 007, NFL Blitz, and others. For all this, FireSpin_Gaming only paid $40.
As can be heard in the video, FireSpin_Gaming was in disbelief that all these games hadn’t been picked up yet. After all, the original Super Smash Bros. goes anywhere from $20 to $60 on sites like eBay, so getting it and a bunch of other games for just $40 is a steal, to say the least.
Collecting all the Nintendo 64 cartridges of these games could be an expensive endeavor for anyone that isn’t lucky enough to happen upon a great yard sale find like seen in the video. On the bright side, there are relatively cheap ways to still play some of these games on modern hardware. The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription features a nice selection of Nintendo 64 games with more on the way this year, including GoldenEye 007 and both Pokemon Stadium games.
There are many Nintendo 64 games that fans would still love to see join the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack lineup, though it’s unclear just how many titles Nintendo plans on adding to the service before slowing down for support. For now, gamers could be kept plenty busy by the games that are currently part of the lineup.
