Six days ago, I got a Magnavox Odyssey2 and 11 or so cartridges for $15 at the flea market. And from the same vendor, I got a PSOne, one controller, and a PSOne screen(the reason why I went in to the flea market in the first place) for $50. Not the best deals ever, but I thought they were pretty good. Best of all, everything works perfectly!
