About the episode

Vintage gaming consoles like PlayStation 2, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy are now selling for thousands of dollars, with standard N64 consoles worth around $250 and rare versions fetching up to $10,000. Retro collectables including VHS tapes, McDonald's Happy Meal toys, trading cards and Cabbage Patch dolls are experiencing a resurgence as collectors buy back childhood items. CollectFest, Australia's first festival dedicated to collectables, features over 100 exhibitors showcasing toys, games, Pokemon cards, coins and stamps, with events in Melbourne and Brisbane.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
