I don't go to a specific store. Sometimes while going places, I see a (retro) video game store and just buy a few games and thats it.

Agreed on the brick and mortar thing. That flea market guy I was talking about was charging 85 bucks upfront for a copy of Chrono Trigger for snes. He really thinks a flea market shopper is just gonna pay that with no bartering? Bs.

3d games,game stop...

There's a local store here called Game X Change that specializes in retro games, but the place smells, bad (got a lot of stuff here as a kid, though. Metroid Fusion, Kirby: Knightmare in Dreamland, Pokemon Red & Blue, ect. The last purchase I made there was a couple years ago, and it was Scribblenauts).

I'll check out thrift stores like Goodwill & DAV, but they never have anything good (actually, DAV actually has a copy of MGS2 right now for $5, but I don't have a PS2).

Pawn shops can be good as well.

The occasional yard sale (This is how I got Super Smash Bros & Ace Combat 4).

please tell me how the place smells

Play n' Trade.

Almost picked up Earthbound for $70 there too. If I wasn't short $20 I would have snagged that thing and sold it for whatever exorbitant price it goes for now.

Like some sort of thick BO (it's the main reason I rarely go there).

hahaha thats terrible
you should ask them why it smells like subway in there

If only the closest Play N' Trade wasn't 2 hrs away... I've actually thought about opening one of those up in my town using their franchise program. Still thinking about it too. Hmmmm...

pssh..

What?

Hallelujah.

I don't get it!

Ya know, Amen. Like you just spoke a great truth and I agree greatly with it.

Sorry, for some strange reason I thought you said "ahem", and I didn't understand why.
I'm such an idiot!

lol

You should have asked them to put that on hold. Thats at the top of my treasure hunting list. I refuse to buy it unless I find it at an insane deal, so its kind of a difficult goal. But its EXCITING!

eBay, flea markets and Amazon. Though I just found this game store that pretty much carries everything from Atari to Xbox 360's. They even had some rare stuff like Earthbound ( They told me it sold quickly, wasn't looking to buy it though), a Virtual Boy and a model 2 SNES ( which I bought along with Goof Troop, a lesser known Disney Capcom game. If you enjoy top down Zelda games like LTTP you'll like it).

That's amazing. The Play N Trade by my how has some great games, but nothing like that. I would have gotten that on the spot, or at least see if they could hold it with a deposit or something. Last time I bought something from them it was a non working copy of Zero Mission. I've been mad about that so I haven't gone back in a while. I should see if they have anything new. Did get Castlevania for free from them.
