    Default Is there market for old school video game repair?

    Am thinking of learning how to repair old school video game consoles like Atari and NES and Sega Genesis and maybe open a old school console repairing business - Because there's probably a lot of places that repair new consoles, but not many that repair vintage ones.

    Do you think there is a market for this, do lots of people want to get their vintage video games repaired?

    Only problem is that sometimes it might be cheaper for someone to go to the flea market/ebay and buy another system instead of getting it repaired

    It could be very lucrative, but perhaps full-scale restoration, not just fixing them. For example, A lot of people have a problem with SNES yellowing, perhaps offer this and other visual repairs like that. You could also buy a bunch of old systems off ebay, fix them, and then sell them for a big profit.
