This is why I went the piracy route. The biggest reason of them all. I don't pirate current games though, since developers gotta make money.

O.k so I have been paying attention to videogamepricecharts.com and yeah its been common for a while about zelda and mario for the 20.00 range but I see ebay right now and people are selling bin listings for 30.00 and up. I' going to be very patient like I did with the dreamcast and ps1 and land a great deal. Picking up a zelda or mario every month will be fine for me. This way I wont endulge and spend my money on crappy games. Besides It will give me a chance to continue getting my dreamcast fighters and shooters.

Have you tried browsing the buy/sell/trade forum here? There's a pretty good chance you might be able to find some of the things you're looking for at prices that are much more affordable than what you'd find on ebay.

harpers right use the forums. the key is dont be afraid to make people offers on the b/s/t if you think their prices are too high, always try to haggle. more times then not ill get a much better price and everyone is happy. also on ebay try not to do the buy it nows unless the price is really good, just bid on what you want put in the maximum bid of what you would be willing to pay you might be surprised how often you might win.
