I've sold a good amount through that site.
It covers games from last gen to current.

PS2, Xbox, Gamecube games. I've bought them through the site for good prices and because of the way the site works the game you want always seems to be available.
I did searches for NES, SNES, Genesis and Nintendo 64... didn't really find anything. Am I missing something?

yea it only has ps2, Gamecube, and xbox being the oldest. Depends on your definition of retro I guess.

Retrousb a 4? Did you check all their projects? They're most definitely the best stop for NES homebrews and development stuff. Oh well....

The rating isn't what the store carries, it's an overall rating. Customer service, shipping prices/time, etc.

Correct. It's based on users who have ordered from them. I'm guessing you're saying it'd be a 5 so I'll average it to a 4.5

Haha, okay. Their stuff is all built by order and is all of superior quality, very timely, so it's worth at least 4. 5 IMO.



Here's some more places and my ratings included:

http://www.nesreproductions.com/ Good site, nice labels and lots of carts, but it takes a donor board which requires hacking for each game making the quality inside a bit below par. And it takes 1-2 weeks usually, so it's kinda slow. Rating is 3, but still decent quality.

http://www.thenesdump.com/ Good price, seems good quality, assuming he uses donors seeing there's lots of games, mostly use MMC3 it would seem, so more then likey. Says 3 days ship out o thats good, and that Mario Adventure tin looks sexy!!!! :P :lol: I'd probably give this a 3.5ish. XD Not 4, but 3 seems kinda low...Just my opinion. :)


Hope this gets added to the list. ^_^

huge fan of http://www.pedrogames.com/ - the prices are fairly usual, but the service is great, and every cartridge i've received from them has worked first time. was surprised not to see pedro mentioned so far!

I've had a very bad experience with Pedrogames.com and I would highly recommend that nobody purchase from him. I can explain if anybody is interested.

I've had decent experience with eStarland, but not via mail order, just local pickup.

Is that the same Pedro that's a Power Seller on eBay? I've bought from him a few times, off eBay, and haven't had a problem.
