I don't really recommend Lukie Games anymore. They used to be pretty reliable but lots of people have had problems with them recently.Johnodog wrote:Lukie games is pretty good.

Estarland is good but expensive with a capital E. Good luck!

Re: Any other sites besides ebay and amazon for retro games
I personally hate Lukie Games - everything they sell seems like it's in some way damaged, and they're so large that getting a refund in a timely manner is nearly impossible. Asking questions about their items on Ebay is also impossible as they don't accept inquiries. Really stupid way to run a business.Gunstar Green wrote:I don't really recommend Lukie Games anymore.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned http://www.tradengames.com and http://www.atari2600.com yet.

Re: Any other sites besides ebay and amazon for retro games
I recently found out about http://www.solarisjapan.com/ from an ad in retro gamer magazine, their prices arn't bad right now as the dollar isnt as weak to the yen as it was last year. They are selling new sealed copies of Border Down for about $87.50, its hard to find that game used for under $100. Needless to say i ordered mine right away and it came well packaged and indeed a real new sealed copy. My only gripe is they have tons of stuff listed but you dont know if its actually in stock until you click on it.

Ho mah gawd! Finally, a decent import website.ninjainspandex wrote:I recently found out about http://www.solarisjapan.com/
EDIT: Actually, aside from Border Down, the Dreamcast stuff is kinda overpriced....

retrocadegames.net
Just plugging a site my friend runs. I haven't ordered from him myself but his prices are low, you have pictures so you know what the game looks like before you get it so that's good and he has a decent selection of games he's good I guess if you have no idea what you're looking for.

I've got that place bookmarked because they were the cheapest place to buy an XRGB-mini that I could find. Didn't bother to check what else they had...pierrot wrote:Ho mah gawd! Finally, a decent import website.ninjainspandex wrote:I recently found out about http://www.solarisjapan.com/

Re: Any other sites besides ebay and amazon for retro games
Play Asia occasionally has ok prices on some older stuff, though I have occasionally had trouble getting a straight answer when emailing about the condition of the games I want.
