Best e-store for retro game purchases?

[ElkinFencer10]

I've been trying to find a good online store to be my "go to" store for game purchases. I usually go to Amazon or eBay if I want to buy one particular game, but I want to find a place that has overall good prices and (if possible) a good shipping deal. I used to use JJGames.com until they upped their "free shipping" threshold from $25 to $50 at which point I found LukieGames.com (the do free shipping to the US and Canada for all purchases of at least $25). Their prices are usually a few dollars more than I would pay on Amazon, but I know that everything they sell includes the case and manual (for disk based games, anyway) and that I can get that free shipping.

The point of this post is that I'm wondering if anyone has come across a site with better prices, a better shipping deal, or a blend of the two that ends up being better?

estarland is very good and I always seem to find retro consoles on there, which can be tough to find at other sites. My Master System, Game Gear, Sega CD, Saturn, and 3DO are all from estarland and came in fantastic shape.

I also use JJGames, mostly for NES/SNES games. I generally try to spend over $50 so I can get that free shipping.

90% of my online game purchases are from those two sites. Everything else is Amazon, ebay, or gameofjapan.

I haven't been on there in awhile but also try ioffer.com.

I will add another vote for eStarland.com. I bought 8 games from them recently, across a bunch of different consoles and they all came perfectly clean ...and two of them were brand new unopened! They didn't even indicate that on the site...and they were Turbo-Grafx16 games. I was stunned.

Great thread there with useful sites. JJGames is on there, but I'm also liking www.tradengames.com. Great selection and fair prices.

Wow, that eStarland place has a surprisingly decent selection. Bookmarked.

Thanks for all of the suggestions, guys. I think Trade-N-Games may soon get some of my business....=)

For the record, eStarland re-seals all boxed games. Genuine factory-sealed titles are specifically indicated on the site (and via "certification" sticker on the cellophane).

[Additional Note] - Also, while I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to gamers, I've found conditions to be a bit hit or miss (even when I asked before buying). Their prices are generally pretty reasonable though.

Most of the sites mentioned still charge a little more than current ebay buy it now prices from what I see. Of course I only really check N64 games, so that may not be the case with everything, and I know that prices are constantly changing, but just giving a heads up. I'd personally rather save the extra dollar or two if at all possible but it may not make that much of a difference to some people.

They do, which is why I go to eBay or Amazon if I want one particular game, but when you factor in the free shipping after spending a certain amount, it (almost) always ends up being cheaper for me to buy from LukieGames or JJGames.
