Even though modern games are developing rapidly in all aspects of technology, many gamers still have a soft spot for collections related to older generation games and are even willing to spend a lot of money for it. As one of the most classic consoles from Nintendo in the 1990s, all kinds of N64-related consoles and games often become fantastic items in the eyes of collectors, with high prices both in physical retro shops and online auctions. However, according to a retro game collector, he recently dug up treasures at a family yard sale and bought a full set of the classic Nintendo N64 console and a slew of games for just $40.
In order to find relatively cheap or rare retro game products, many European and American collectors often come to some small yard or garage auction for treasure hunting. Whether to resell or simply collect, these gamers attend home auctions like these to find the best deals on used retro gaming merchandise, and in some cases, find unexpected finds at such bargains. And a collector named FireSpin_Gaming recently shared a treasure he found at an auction on TikTok.

In this TikTok video, which has surpassed 100,000 views, FireSpin_Gaming documents his treasure-digging process at a yard auction and how he found a super-expensive N64 game and console collection combo. This amazing collection features multiple N64 controllers in a variety of colors, as well as tons of classic game cartridges. While the condition of these game cartridges varies somewhat, they contain some of the most critically acclaimed titles from the N64 console’s lifecycle, such as the original Super Smash Bros., Tony Hawk Extreme Skate 2, “Pokémon Arena”, “Super Mario 64”, “Donkey Kong 64”, “007 Goldeneye”, “NFL Blitz”, etc. In the end, FireSpin_Gaming took home the entire collection for just $40.
In the video, the player can hear FireSpin_Gaming quite surprised that such a complete and large collection has not been purchased by anyone. After all, cartridges from the original Super Smash Bros. can sell for between $20 and $60 on eBay, so the $40 set is surely an unimaginable feat for collectors.
If it’s outside this clearance sale, it’s obviously not easy to buy such a complete collection of N64 consoles, handles and game cartridges, and it could even cost hundreds of dollars. together. On the bright side, if you just want to relive these classic games launched on the N64 console instead of collecting them, players don’t have to spend a lot of money to buy the original N64 console, but only need to use the game provided by the Nintendo Switch console. The subscription service premium NSO can play a large number of classic N64 games on this modern console, and the two works of “007 Golden Eye” and “Pokémon Arena” are currently confirmed to be added this year.
