Not so much that as where I live things are expensive and hard to find. N64s aren't all that hard to find or expensive, MAYBE last gen stuff. But anything old or rare is hard to find and expensive. I've been to the only good thrift store here, garage sales, flea market, sometimes find a little, but nothing really good. There's a great pawn shop but it's often expensive. I have maybe $60 around here, but that will not go very far at all.
Also, I can never find deals on eBay. I don't know why, just can't. Usually shipping is the killer.
Yes, I admit I'm a whiner, it's what I do. I just see all you guys getting deals and going about your awesome projects and it makes me very jealous. I want a SNES but I can't really afford one. Sure I could buy one if I waited a bit for the pawn shop to get one in, but I'd have no money left and feel very ripped off.
