Because the Nintendo 64 came out with so many great games including Zelda Ocarina of Time, Super Mario, and Super Smash Bros it can be easy to spend a lot of money buying them all. Where can you go to find the best prices and the best selection? Are their any places where I can find incredible deals? Below are four places to start your search and increase the chances of finding the great deals you long for.

Pawn Shops - Pawn shops will not have the best selection of games, but you can definitely find some rare ones at great prices. Video games make up a small part of pawn shops business so they don't always know the value of what they have. Sometimes the prices are too high, and other times you will find incredible deals. In between the stack of Madden 64's for $5 you might find a Mario Kart 64 for $10. It takes some patience and shopping around, but pawn shops are very high on the finding great deals scale.

Flea Markets - Around here, there are usually a couple of video game stands setup at the local flea markets. They sell all sorts of video games and usually carry stuff as old as the Nintendo 64 (and many times even old too). The merchants usually know video games a bit better so it might be harder to find a really low price on a game, but the selection will probably be a lot better too. Plus, many sellers will allow a little haggling on the prices so don't be shy about asking if you can buy a game for a little bit less than the list price.

Independent Video Game Stores - Forget about your Gamestops and EBGames, they stopped carrying Nintendo 64 games quite a while ago. Find the nearest independent video game store. They usually carry past generation systems like Nintendo 64. The prices will most likely be the highest on this list, but they usually have good selections and a number of hard to find games, plus the employees are knowledgeable. Don't expect to go in and find Super Smash Bros for $5 though, they usually know how much everything is worth and price the games accordingly.

Online Stores - There are many websites specializing in past generation consoles and will carry many Nintendo 64 games. If you simply search for 'nintendo 64 games', hundreds of sites will come up that specilize in the N64. Their selection will be the best. And usually they are cheaper than stores, but more expensive than the pawn shops and flea markets. You can easily compare prices online though to find the best deals from all the websites.

Try out some of these technics to find some great Nintendo 64 game deals near you. Finding a super low price on a hard to find game feels great, and the hunt is fun too. Good luck and start your searching.
