is buying games at flee markets and thrift stores worth it?

Anything that is gaming related that doesn't fit well anywhere else

How do you do that? I had the thought a while back but couldn't find the option (ebay honestly has a terrible user interface... Look no further than their email subscription page for proof of that)

Ok ok seriously, it's flea market. It just keeps bugging me that the thread title says "flee".

I would have to say that they hold some level of value to them, though you really don't expect to get the best out of those as the choices are most often than not, limited.

It is still great to get a cheaper priced game though, which you could also try out first, or at least that is how it is on the thrift store I frequent to. Just be sure that you are good with just gaming and being able to play something new.
