Well, Amazon.com let's anyone sell (like eBay, but without bids). So, it often has some good games. I bought Super Mario World for about $8 and $4 shipping, they're worth it. Just make sure the seller has good feedback.
Find yourself a half-decent pawn shop. I always see classic games pop up and the general crowd that frequents these establishments is looking for tools or dvd's(or gold eagles). i SAW Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy 3 for snes just the other day, in box ,stuffed next to old nin games. Everything from Dreamcast games to turbo-grafx make appearances. Keep your eyes peeled.
Ebay is pretty good. Prices can get high, but if you are serious about it you will fork over the coin for that rare copy of Mega Man 2 in box. Good Luck lil buddy!
I would go to Amazon.com you will have really good luck there finding those hard to get games. And also, you can go to your local used games store, or a new games store and ask them if they can order it for you. And if they don't have it at their warehouse, they can put a sign up by the register stating that so n so is looking for this game, if you have it, contact blah blah blah... I know people do that all the time at our local Rhino games and Gamestop.
I'd go check a pawn shop first, because certain games are priced very highly on Amazon and eBay, but at least you can find the hard to find games there, you just pay for them.
....and you also don't deny yourself the fun of the hunt.
Yes indeed! The hunt is really what it becomes about. The excite-bike you feel when you see a super rare game tucked in some greasy glass display case is exhilarating. For years i hunted (and found) old NES games everywhere...garage sales, pawn shops, thirft shops. It was such a rush to find Final Fantasy nes in box w/maps in a cheesy pawn shop in a small town. It was at the oinrt where I was ALWAYS looking ..where ever I was. Obsessive...Yes. Worth it...for sure!
