Good place to buy NES games online (besides eBay)?

Post by **Flak Beard** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 5:38 pm

I found a few eBay stores that have stuff I want, but most of the time they want too much for shipping. Some offer combined shipping, but I don't like how it's added up post auction by the seller instead of eBay themselves. I feel like I'd get screwed on price.

Anyway, are there any good online shops you've bought NES carts from? I'm looking for good prices, modest shipping and clean carts.

Well amazon.com has really reasonable prices for shipping and they add the combine shipping themselves. Other than that I say your best bet is to go down to a thrift store and check out whats going on there.

atari2600.com seems decent enough. i've never bought from there but their prices seem reasonable enough, but i'd definitely just reccomend checking out thrift stores and the like.

Did you check half.com? They have fixed shipping rates and a range of prices for each game.

goatstore.com is my personal favorite, ordered a few times from them and have been satisfied. Their boxes are...improvised...but always packed very well and never damaged!

Don't you have any local stores that sell used games?

Honestly, I don't have anywhere that sells anything good that's newer than the PS2. The Replay's here is garbage, so I almost don't bother. eBay is the way I normally get my SNES titles, but I'm more than happy to find another, cheaper way if I can. eBay prices can get pretty brutal.

I would suggest; http://retrogamescatalog.com/ They are UK based but sell NTSC as well, I just bought Eternal Darkness from them, basically mint condition, reasonable shipping and a far cheaper price than Ebay. The US games may be stored in the US. Worth a look.

You know, looking at their prices for used games, I don't think I'll be using them. They're asking $8.00 for Ballz 3D, and honestly, that's about $7.00 more than it's worth...

And the only real issue I have with the Retrogames website is that those prices are correct...except they're in the wrong currency. I've seen out of box Super Street Fighter 2 go in USD what they're asking in pounds. And the copy of Final Fight...20 pounds, and I see that go for 5 USD. I'll keep both sites in mind, just in case, but...well, I guess eBay hasn't been that bad to me...
