How are they too "dear"? I don't understand.

Try Ebay.

If you're just a kid, nintendonerd147, get your parents to help you look. that said, if you're not interested in eBay or having things shipped to you, have your parents try Craigslist or check out some local yard sales for you.

Craigslist is where people advertise things they are selling I think.

Here, give it a try

if your lucky, they give out what you want for free.
Like I did, and got a Free Halo 3 with the Spartn helmet

that's the way it goes, man -- if you're buying used, it's usually sold 'as-is'. some things you'll buy used may work out just fine, others might finally give up the ghost after only a week's use. you pays your money and you takes your chances :3

i can tell you that i've had some large electronics shipped through the mail just fine, though (the laserdisc player i used to own was pretty monstrous, lol). so long as they're packing your purchased item properly, there's no worry about it breaking en route, and reputable sellers usually have some kind of provision for returning your money if the item is broken when it arrives to your home. just have your parents do their homework and read all the fine print involved, is all.

In the UK, try Gamestation on your high street. Often find N64s and other retro consoles/games in there.

But the Gamestation in Oldham never has them I have seen none this year.

I have a Game Craze somewhat nearby (about a 20 minute drive). I'm not sure if it is US exclusive, but you may want to try there.
