Hey guys, right now i'm on the hunt for some good websites to get some gamecube games from that won't hurt mr. wallet too bad if you know what I mean. I'm only 16 so ebay is out of my picture. On the meantime I keep my eye out at garage sales across town, you never know what you can find. But please, feel free to hook me up with some great used/new game websites!

I do all my rare game shopping on eBay. At least I can be sure they are in better condition than what GS offers.

Well there are like PLENTY of Gamestops at malls I go to and such that have very good selection of games. Then there always Amazon.com and since my dad works at a thrift store he tends to bring home tons of video games (PS2, GC, etc)

I use Ebay for my extremely rare finds usually. Otherwise look for any hole in the wall Mom and Pop stores I find a lot of amazing deals there. I grabbed a near mint copy of Suikoden for a friend at my local thrift store for only 5 bucks. If you live near a college university I'd say look at any pawn shops and such. College tuition does a number on many people's video game collections leaving some rare gems to be found usually 5X cheaper than that of Ebay. *grumbles* I knew I should have bought Star Ocean Second Story when I had a chance...

I buy most of my new games from Target, but I live really close to several smaller used game stores, where I get all my used stuff. When all else fails, I use EBAY.

amazon.com is reliable. also theres shopgoodwill.com It has items listed from goodwill stores all over the country. I bought like 9NES games for $15 or something a few months back. it works like Ebay but you can pay goodwill directly with your credit card instead of using paypal or whatever.

edit:

when it comes to buying, i usually buy in person, but sometimes you check all your local stores and they just ask too much for games OR they never have a game you want in stock. so online is good for that. i just hate paying shipping.

Lately I'm a bit low on cash, so I've been trading in a lot of games I won't play anymore and getting different ones. The goozex game trading site has been a great way for me to keep up with the new games I want to play. If you are curious about the site there is a link in my sig.

Usually eBay or my local pawn shop. It has a lot of games but they're much more expensive than eBay, but sometimes I'd just rather pay a few extra bucks so I don't have to wait for it to ship.

Craigslist works wonders if you're in a reasonably populated area.

Craigslist Dallas/Fort Worth & GameStop...

Also, people tend to overlook pawn shops. I've found many a rare gems there and for reasonable prices. As long as employees who are armed with guns don't make you nervous.
