Title: Queensday hunting Post by: TRAY on April 27, 2006, 12:49:52 AM One of the better days to dig for treasures here in
The Netherlands. Queensday is a national day in the year they celebrate the birthday of the queen. I dont give a damn...but there are a lot of fleamarkets and kidsmarket in the city over here...and in the past I read on some Dutch gaming forums people ussually find nice (gaming) stuff... (http://www.dimotech.nl/evenementen/images/koninginnedag.jpg) Whats y'all up to these days? Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: Speedy_NES on April 27, 2006, 01:40:19 AM I'm definitely looking forward to that, hopefully find some good deals. I've also heard from the Dutch collectors that this day is the best for "flea market" finds ;)
I actually wanted to go look for some stuff last year in Amsterdam but just ended up partying instead ;) Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: den68 on April 27, 2006, 04:32:39 AM awesome. those monster size flea markets are a blast. no telling what will turn up.
I found my Mego 2XL at one last year for $5 bucks. the year before that I picked up a boxed Odyssey 2 with "The Voice". Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: TRAY on April 27, 2006, 05:04:32 AM But don't judge them by their size to much...even little spots are worthwhile to check!
The only thing you need to bring with you is a good pair of eyes!:) Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: den68 on April 27, 2006, 09:43:30 AM heh heh, I agree with that too. it's all worth checking. I've had finds at church garage sales that had maybe 3 folding tables of stuff.
Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: atari_wizard on April 27, 2006, 10:13:49 AM I think I see a boxed Duck Hunt on the table next to the white van. lol. I would definitely be going if I lived there, good luck to you all.
Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: TRAY on April 27, 2006, 10:55:56 PM True that...best thing is to wake up early in the morning and snipe for when its not crowded...

That's the plan |D Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: TRAY on April 28, 2006, 03:54:32 AM Gotta check whats the best time and way to walk...
probably we will head over tehre by bus and have to go by foot to the park! Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: TRAY on April 29, 2006, 10:24:20 AM And thats that...never walked some much on one day!
Was worthwhile though! Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: Tynstar on April 29, 2006, 10:51:40 AM Did you get anything?
Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: Speedy_NES on April 30, 2006, 07:04:04 AM Yeah, we were earlybirds, so we walked back and forth to three different flea markets for 8 hrs long!! I still feel it in my legs right now ;)
Quote Did you get anything? I got some stuff, not as much as I had hoped and no real NES stuff, but at least we found something: Nintendo 64 console w/hookups (loose) + 1 ctrl. + Duke Nukem (loose) & Wayne Gretzky 3D '98 (loose) SNES w/hookups (loose) + 2 controllers + On the Ball (complete) + Sim City (complete) Both for 35 euro. MegaDrive w/2 controllers (loose, one damaged) + Street Fighter II (loose) + Terminator (loose) + 2 Famicom multicarts loose.....5 euro ColecoVision (loose) w/ 2 controllers and 8 pretty crappy games....10 euro Sepctravideo/QuickShot joystick for Atari (complete)...50 cents VHS Super Mario - Reptielen op de loer (already have this one unfortunately)....1 euro That should be all I think. Hopefully the Famicom multis will have some cool games on them ;) Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: TRAY on April 30, 2006, 07:23:10 AM Yeah, we walked to much, but it was nice...stuff I bought:
Dr. Doom puppet: 20 cents Transformer: 50 cents Mario Kart 64: 5 euro it was wortwhile cause I also got the N64 from Speed_NES:) Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: NES-a-holic on April 30, 2006, 12:39:19 PM This year i did totally different haha, i kinda missed the markets and so.nice scores you guys,next year i will check some also.
Title: Re: Queensday hunting Post by: TRAY on May 01, 2006, 08:24:41 AM To be all honest, I defenitly thaught to pick up more intresting stuff...but decent things where set to a minimum. But it was alright, me and Speedy also had a nice brunch and drinking beer on 10 o clock in the morning feels darn good!
