I got into the NES again. I got roms to all the NES games, but it didn't feel right. Like they didn't have the same "magic" to them, if that makes any since. So I wanted to start an NES collection. I can't get them online. Do you know where I can buy them used?

If you can't buy them online, I'd say you could try flea markets, garage sales, pawn shops and the likes. Maybe you're lucky and a game shop in your region has used NES games.

May I ask why you can't get them online?

Because my parents don't like me ordering things online for some reason. Heard too many bad ebay stories. Also, I'm stuck with dial-up.

I understand your problem very well. I had the same problem. I just convinced my folks that eBay is generally safe and sound. You get what you see there, and if you don't, the people that are selling will get a bad feedback. Bad feedback is something no eBayer would like to get.

Actually, not all was thinking. Some was plotting, some was planning, and finally the explaining of my plan which I plotted after I thought of it.

Yeah, eBay itsself isn't as bad as many people say and think.
I did over 200 transactions on eBay and never had problems until now.

You could also try to buy stuff from the members here. If it's long-time members with many posts you can be sure buying from these people is safe. Just look in the buy-and-sell forums.

If you have time it might be a nice idea if you gave us a short self-introduction of yours.
We have a thread for that:
