What sites do you guys order your old games from online?
Let me put it another way.
I bought some NES games recently, and, while they all work, they were
not all in the stated condition. Most did not have sleeves, and some had
torn labels. I guess I am wondering where you guys buy your old nes/snes/etc
games from. Also, I can't find any places that have the sleeves for the
NES/SNES games in-stock.
Anybody know any reputable sites that has this kinda stuff in stock?
dunno you are interested in pc games but i bought a bunch from here http://www.sold-out.co.uk/soldout/index.html
again beware they sell pc games..
Sweet, thanks.
A little across the way from me, but oh well.
I was actually talking about console games, but another place to get PC
games from is always welcome.
Although it's not really a shop, there's always eBay. And they have Retro Game specialist shops that sell through it.
Yep I ebay, haggle of various forums, or buy at local sales and such , it really depends on how desperate I am to find something. But i usually do, look at my room ><
For Japanese NES Games:

www.amazon.com is where I buy everything and anything.
for me at least amazon is sucking in the shipping a bit. if i need old carts i usally go to any of the mom and pop game stores, but then tend to over charge a bit
Hhahaha don't even get me started on their shipping. My dad ordered christmas gifts on december 4th. On the 20th they gave him an email saying that the gifts will arrive between december 27th and january 12th.Quote:

If you're looking for some decent deals on "complete" import games, I'd suggest eBay or Yahoo Japan auctions (watch out for the shipping fees though). For US games in excellent condition, I haven't gone wrong with eBay yet...just make sure that the pictures in the auctions are authentic, and that the sellers have very high feedback ratings.
Omg i love you, im picking up an original gameboy, a n64, sega dreamcast & Saturn and a bunch of game BECAUSE I CAN AND ITS UBER CHEAP :nod:Quote:

I don't really buy a lot of games, just a few every now and then, so i stick to local sections of craigslist. skip shipping and just goto the dudes house with some cast. thinking of swooping up a sega master system this way, but then im always like "am i really going to play this?"
I'd really suggest to check out second hand stores and stuff. Also find out if there are any flea markets in near enough areas. Mine is loaded with super cheap old games and you can see them instead of having to trust what people tell you. No shipping, no hassle. If they don't work go and demand your cash back, make a scene if you must I'm pretty sure people would rather keep their reputation. That's how it is at my local(and very huge)one.
Good luck!
Shipping aint so cheap thoughQuote:

Well . . .I don't know where you live but, in the UK, charity shops (thrift stores in the US?) are a good source for Megadrive carts and older stuff.
Well, usually you can find better quality items on Amazon powered websites than on Ebay, but you have a better chance of seeing and getting details of your actual purchase on Ebay. The best buys are usually 10-20 game lots that go for a cheaper per-game price. Personally, I buy my NES/SNES games from a local used game store. It is more of a private store owned by a guy who lives upstairs, but the games are all in good shape. You may want to ask around about some place like that in your area, because that type of store is usually dependant on word-of-mouth advertising and you may not find it in a phone book.
