Tomorow is queensday, best day of the year for any remotely ingeburgerde citizen. While lissette was smart enough to flee the country before it turns into a drunk orange mass, andre kuijper made sure to return from his trip in space in time to sell his orbit grown lettuce on the street. Frans Bauer is now ridder in de orde van oranje nassau, and I will get up early to radically extend my collection of classic videogames. it is what makes queensday the most exciting day of the year. I actually am pathetic enough to occasionally dream about the perfect queensday flea market hunt. in a perfect world, this is what I'll find tomorrow (for cheap of corse). | 10: Casio SK-1 keyboard
This toy keyboard has reached a cult status pretty much. They're great to play around with. The sample function is funny, but the amount of effects it has is amazing! I have one already, but the adapter broke. This is just one of those 'you have no idea what you're selling' kinda purchase. I could play this thing for hours. |  | 9: Gamegear
Legacy Gameboy Advance. Cool beans. Preferably with the master system player thing and tv tuner.
|  | 8: Saturn
I'm getting more and more curious about this failed console that apparently had a limited amount of pretty cool games. It'll surely turn into a space waister though, since games aren't that common for it anyway. I'd still pick this up for cheap.
|  | 7: Atari games
I recently bought an atari but I've only got one game. These are always dirt cheap. I once turned down an atari for 4 guilders (about two euro's) because it didn't come with a power cord. The fact that it came with 5 games apparently didn't make up for this back then. |  | 6: Any nes/snes/gameboy game that is worthwhile to own or resell.Since my collection, despite of it's moderate size, covers most of the quality titles that you are able to find on the street, I've made it a policy to also buy games I already own to sell on or trade at a later date. I still haven't gotten rid of last years doubles though. |
 | 5: obscure nes peripherals
I am talking about the little robot, the running mat and the powerglove. duh!
|  | 4: Nintendo merchandise
Preferably vague and asian, like the great Super Mario Bros. 2 'exciting game' pencilbox/balls in the hole game I once bought. Also nintendo cartoon videos would be nice. Maybe an old issue of club nintendo, or the pretty huge super mario 3 themed suitcase meant to store your nes games. I'll even go for those horrible 'chose your own adventure' books. |  | 3: pirate nintendo carts
and I mean cool ones! I am still looking for the 256 in one (in reality about 120 games) that I once traded for a sega master system. Usually these suckers have ten lamo games on them though, and all have the same games too. |  | 2: game & watch (es)
Since number one is a mission impossible, this is probably the best thing you can find on queensday. Since no one cares about old lcd games they are always highly undervalued. I've found two in my life. One was 2,50 (a bit over a euro), the other 25 or 50 sents. The first one was still working, the last one turned out to be full of water when I opened it (this might have been caused by the traditional queensday weather). Since the batteries are almost always turned into rusty pulp, you never know if they work. But they look damn cool and are worth about 20 times what you pay for them. |
 | 1: famicom+disksystem
The ultra cool japanese version of the nes, with the ultra hard to find dinky famicom disk system expansion. The set includes such classic discs as the zelda's, metroid, doki doki panic, mario 2 (aka the lost levels) and some obscure discs with games that were loaded from machines in magazine stands. The japanese lady that sells her sons gear has no idea what it's worth. |
