Specifically a dreamcast, I have been hunting one for a while. I hate eBay, and I don't trust Craigslist. Anyone been to play n trade and had some good expirences?
Play N Trade is okay, but they're usually overpriced. The market place forums on atariage.com and neo-geo.com are great places to buy and sell old systems. I purchased my N-Gage QD, Neo Geo CD, Colecovision, Atari Lynx, and Turbografx-16 on one of those two sites.
If your looking for really low prices and the assurance of a return policy, try thrift stores. I have seen at least a dozen Dreamcast's at various Goodwill, ARC and indi-thift stores ranging from $20 to as little as $5. You can also try garage sales and the flea market for similar deals, but you won't have a return policy in the event it doesn't work.
If your city or town does not have a indie game shop. Then on line is your only recourse. Ebay, kiijji, craigslist. Some indie gameshops like JJ games or A&Z games. You can be legacy systems and games. Flea markets can be great too.
Bro, its summer time, you needs to be hittin' up garage sales when you see'em :lol:
seriously man, i can't even begin to tally all the bargains I've scored at garage sales

I have had a lot of success hunting down older systems/games this way as well. They call them tag sales around here, but its all the same thing.
If not tag sales, then unfortunately ebay/amazon and such will be your best bet. I don't come across too many stores these days that offer a good legacy selection, in my area there is only one.
