    I live in Japan and you can find tons of retro gaming stuff in very good to excellent condition. In big cities like Tokyo, there are TONS of video game stores that have a heavy focus on retro gaming clear back to the 70's and 80's in many cases. I've even seen SG-1000 cards and Atari games.

    In Europe - Cyprus especially - The oldest thing I found was a gameboy dmg for like 10 or 15€ it was in an acceptable contrition with major scratches and some corrosion on the battery connector. I only cleaned the battery corossion just to see if it works and it does. I don't plan on fixing it more since I am happy with it. But I never found any other old stuff like that. I may need to use that Japanese site then to get my hands on some retro consoles
