I've still got my original systems, I never sold them in the first place. 

My brother and I sell games and systems at the flea market, too.  6.75 european is a pretty good deal, we sell N64 systems with a game and 1 controller for 35 bucks.  The good games like Mario and DK and such we get 20 bucks out of.  We do pretty good, mainly hispanic customers.

aye aye.  I've got the following, off the top of my head.

Atari 2600
Atari 5200
Colecovision (not sure if it works, though).
X-Eye
Genesis
Master System
Game Gear
Sega CD
32X
Saturn
Dreamcast
Nintendo
SNES
Nintendo 64
Gamecube
Xbox
PS1
PS2
Gameboy
Gameboy pocket
Gameboy color
Gameboy advance
Gameboy SP

At the flea market we sell out, our biggest seller is usually the Super Nintendo.  Worst sellers are the sega stuff, you can't give a dreamcast or saturn away, every once in a while you can sell a genesis.  Nintendo 64's sell pretty well also, as does the PS1.  We don't sell PS2's, xbox's, or gamecubes, so I'm not sure about them, but we get people wanting PS2's all the time.  Gameboy colors sell tremendously, we can sell as many as we can get our hands on.  This is in an almost exclusively hispanic market, though.  Without a shadow of a doubt the best selling game is anything with Mario on it.  It doesn't even have to be a regular game, if Mario's face or name is on it, it sells.  Usually for twice what you can get out of anything else... for instance I sold "Mario tennis" for N64 for 20 bucks this weekend, most N64 games sell for 8 bucks.  If a little mexican kid comes up (5 or 6), he'll look around in the case with the gameboy games, for instance, and then no shit start screaming at the top of his lungs "MARIO!!! MARIO!!!" and pointing and jumping up and down at the case.  I'm not exagerating.  Again this is with hispanics, though.  You also get a ton of older mexicans and white couples in their 20's that come by and always buy systems, and always want mario with it because they played it when they were younger.  About a year ago, Pokemon was huge but they've dropped off a little bit.  Mario, and Pokemon are the only two games I've seen nothing short of histeria over.  We don't typically get the brand new madden's and stuff, though, so we don't see any of that happen. 

For PS1 and PS2, fighting games are still the best sellers.  We typically don't have anything new, just old, old games for the systems so we can keep the prices low.  We sell ps1 games for 8 bucks and ps2 games for 12 bucks.  X-Box and Gamecube games sell great, I think partially because they're harder to find used. 

It's pretty cool, we usually make several hundred dollars a day.  Best thing about it is you get the glamour of being a crack dealer but don't have to do anything illegal, lol.
