I was wondering if there are any good places to buy old games, such as NES, SNES, Genesis etc. Right now I'm buying most of the games on ebay. I've seen some games at www.liksang.com and www.retrosuperstore.com. But the prices are WAY off. Do you guys have some other places where you buy retro games? www.tradera.com is another site, much like ebay, but swedish. The prices there are also expensive. But it's good as comparision. Please post links and other hints to where one can buy retro games etc.

I've bought my NES-games (apart from those I got when NES was hot stuff) from eBay or it's finnish equivalent. Prices have been quite low, but I haven't even sought after rare games. I've also got a few old games from a local used books store, which carries old games (both computerized & tabletop). To my dismay, the store went out of business a few years back. They had really nice prices, like 5-10 euros per game. I haven't bought any old games in the last year or so though.

I'd say www.tradera.com in this case. I have bought over 50 old games from there. If you are lucky even the more rarer games can be cheaper. Also, compared to the online shops that exists (retrosuperstore, spelia ...) it's really cheap. The onlineshops has ridicoulus prizes on their games.

I'm not sure if they do retrogames, but I do know this site doesn't know how to price current games. If you go to www.superpawn.com you can find a lot of stuff there. I got a copy of Grandia Xtreme from them. Everywhere else I looked it was $40+. From superpawn it was only $17. Give it a whirl for the retro stuff. I'm sure you can find something there.

I'm sure if you posted a list in a topic here people would make sublists of what they wanted and what they were willing to pay.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster. I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.

i've never shipped to out of the country, and these things are big and heavy, it must be expensive to send them, i would sell each NES game for ~$3, and each snes game for ~$6 (that's about how much they are worth here, going at a low price) but if someone wants to get a bunch of them at once i would of course make it cheaper, i just dont know anything about shipping to other countries.
