http://atari2600.com is a pretty good site, I buy from them all the time. But that's for what you said, old/classic games. I think you mean last generation. Amazon should have plenty what you're lookin' for.

Might be a dumb question: Can you not order games off of Gamecrazy onlinez? The closest Gamecrazy to me is over an hour away. I'm on Gamecrazy's site and I can't figure it out.

In the Midwest there are a lot of media resale shops, which I not only enjoy buying from but enjoy browsing all the cool stuff they get in. I know a specific one where they sale games dirt cheap. If I am looking for something specific(and willing to pay the inflated price) I go to eBay.

Either GameStop or Game Crazy. Sometimes I also drop by those random game stores in downtown.

I never buy old games from a gameshop or someone who knows what they're selling. Why? Because they know how much it's worth. I get all my retro games from Car Boot Sales or eBay. One example being Mystic Quest Legend on the SNES. I bought it, boxed, for 4 GBP. No idea of it's original value but you wont find too many boxed SNES RPGs for that price.

Just a couple miles away from me in Roseville there is a CD/DvD store that sells all sorts of stuff related to video games and watching DvDs

they have a section of new and used games and in the used games are some for every cIassic console I have, ever owned or have ever heard of.

it is awesome to just look around.....I also go to the Rosevill Auction (Okie Fair) on a nice weekend in the summer to see what is available:wink:

Ebay for the most part. Pawn shop called Cash Converters I've found a good deal before so I would like to go there more often but I never get round to going. Can't find many retro sellers here.

keep it on the downlow (even tho I'm not really doing that posting it here but)

www.half.com

I watch games that get put up there in "like new" condition, and I've already found FF7 like new black label for 40 bucks. you've gotto be quick to get to good prices tho, because I've seen a few 35-40 dollar ones slip through my fingers cause I've waited a day to purchase it and it was already gone.

I guess there must be one advantage of living in the midwest. There are at least 3 game stores in town that sell games for systems back to the Original Nintendo.

Mostly Ebay, if you wait for the right auction you can pick up some great retro games nice and cheap, sometimes the seller doesn't realise the value of the game!

I get most of my old games from the internet, from various sites. If i'm lucky, my local GameStation stocks old N64 and PS1 games from time to time.

Where I find old games? I have to go out of town on a 2 and half hour drive to a bigger city and its downtown entertainment movie and gaming pawn shop called Last Stop CD Shop. They have alot of stuff from NES to Genesis to SNES and Playstation One games and whatever else.

Then for Gamecube and or Gameboy advance games I just go to Software Etc and FYE at the mall
