Where is the best place to by gameboy advance games, where I can by a bundle of selected games?

I looked at Gamestop but doesn't have anything I want, since shipping is so much I am not buying it on ebay.

Where is the best place to by gba games?

I bought a gameboy micro, so can't wait for it to be shipped to me

Well, we can't talk about emulation and roms, so let's just ignore all that. Back to the topic, I get mine from Gamestop. Hate the store or not, they have a great selection of used GBA games you can find. I found a few myself this past week, even some rare ones like Klonoa 1 & 2, Tactics Ogre, Astro Boy, and TMNT.

I know in stores Gamestops have a good selection of GBA games, but the online store is meh...which is what I meant by Gamestop had none of the games I want online. I think I will check out other local Gamestops, but like to have options

Gamestop used to sell them, but I think they're clearing them out now. I would recommend just buying them off eBay or Amazon.

GBA games are the only thing I wont recommend ebay for, there are too many counterfeit copies out there, just try your local game stores.

That is kinda hard. I would say Amazon but there are alot of fake versions of the games spreading around. I think gamestop still has alittle section with GBA titles. Also check for other online sites, like retro shops.

Gamestop doesn't have what you want?

Well they only carry used games now, so just check in periodically, and you should find some games.

Amazon and Ebay aren't bad even though you say the shipping is too expensive. Well, it is what it is. It won't get there for free.


Local game shops carry them, Gamecrazy and Play N Trade do too.

Do you have any stores around where you live that specialize in selling used movies, music, video games? If you live in the Chicago area(I have no idea where you're from), you can always try any of the Disc Replay stores.

I think that eBay has a strong selection of games, but I don't any real place to get a wide variety. Maybe try Japan Game Stock for some Japanese games like Mother 3 on decent prices.

gamestop/gamecrazy any place like that check your area you might even have some stores that are local ,

i have one near me that sells all games nothing else all the way to nes/atari2600 etc

also check pawn shops ,, thats another good place and flea markets , if you have one i know i did in florida but not here

so ya those are probably the only places that most likely have good selection

besides online retailers such as ebay/amazon etc

Check your local classifieds. That is usually the easiest and fastest way to get the game you desire.

Flea Markets or small "mom & pop" type video game stores are great for these sorts of things.
