my personnel favorite would have to be the flea market some time people dont know what they have so you can get good stuff cheap.

I live in Orange County. There's nothing here, and every game shop is being taken over by EB Games... I have to stick to ebay.

I like Gamestation, as it's cheap. For older stuff, EBay is best, although Gamestation does sometimes have cheap NES games.
I also like gameplay.com it's cheapish with fast delivery.

EB games or Gamestop is good to me. I would use E-Bay, but waiting for my game in the mail gets to me. There is also a risk of it getting stolen or "lost". I'd rather have the game in my hand while I purchase it.

Mine is also fleamarkets. All the games are 5 USD max and sometimes you find bigger deals like a rare one or some old guy who sells his game at 2 USD a piece :twisted:

I happen to disagree with that. I think ebay is a great place to get games. Just yesterday I got 8 games for $15.98 USD Includes shipping. You just have to play it smart and look around a little for a good deal. The waiting does suck :evil:, but it also makes you think if you really want/need the item(s). Versus the store you stand there and look at it for about 2 seconds and then decide to buy it, and the whole way home you debate if it was worth it or not.

And were any of them worth more than $0.04? unlikely... anything worth buying on Ebay goes for retarded amounts, or has stupidly high shipping. it's not worth sorting through the scamming garbage to find that one in ten thousand auction that is actually a legitimately good deal.

I just got Dragon Warrior 2 for $20 + $5 shipping off eBay. That's not bad considering DP lists it as worth $20, and they say their value estimates are "the absolute rock bottom you can offer a collector for a game without insulting him". I mean, you can get reasonable deals on eBay. You just have to be patient. For those of us living in small towns and such, we have to use whatever resources we have.

And I think that $2/game is actually a pretty good deal for games that I don't already have, reguardless the game. [quote:922b864148="NES-Luke"]it's not worth sorting through the scamming garbage to find that one in ten thousand auction that is actually a legitimately good deal.[/quote] That depends on the person.... and isn't that what you do in any used game store? Sort through the junk and find the hidden/good stuff? At least on ebay you get a better variety of selections, instead of the local little used game store. And DNA.. What is DP?

Last year i used to find tons of NES games at the Flea Markets and Thrift Stores but now i hardly find anything even the gamecrazy i go to has less and less NES Games every time i go so i guess that means eBay.

I think I must defend eBay a bit here. There are still good sellers out there. In the last weeks I got several games for cheap and in practically mint condition on ebay (Shenmue 2, Another Code, Sennen Kazoku). And I didn't even have to wait very long for my stuff. All the games were cheaper than buying them in a store. Of course I would prefer a good game shop, but with the total lack of one, I have an eye on eBay sometimes. There are 4 video game shops I know in Munich and all have ridiculous(ly high) prices. They sell you a Metroid demo for the DS for 12$. :?

Ebay usually is my last resort. Although I must say i've never had any problems buying off ebay in the past, and I stick to a very tight budget when getting games off there.

I like to go to Gamecrazy, I always bs with a couple of the guys up there.
If I 'm looking for something in specific I will go to ebay. It's hard to find any NES games around here.
