Going through a GameCube love fest and have started collecting a library for it. What has been your guys most successful places to get Cube games? Amazon?

Amazon and Ebay are passable, although prices tend to be higher.

Checking Gamestop can sometimes be profitable, although the chance of getting games with actual cases is much slimmer. Local stores, garage sales, and buying off of friends will really be the best options.

For a good price? Garage sales and flea markets. For convenience, but it'll cost a premium. Ebay or your local game store. Amazon is a rip off most of the time and you can't see pictures. GameCube is starting to become pricier. It's not too bad but it's more than xbox and ps2 (besides ps2 RPGs and horror games). I'm glad I still have my games from when I bought my gamecube a little after launch.

Thanks guys. Yah I have most of the staples. Just trying to go back and get some of the off-the-beaten path games. I got Lost Kingdoms I and II and Baiten Kaitos off Amazon last week. Altogether like $70.00.

For "off the beaten path", you might look up Cubivore. (If you are in North America at least, there was no European release.) Its a quirky little game, and a bit behind the time at its release, but its fun and somewhat rare. Though, it can be a bit pricey.

Yah I've been eyeing up Cubivore and regretting not getting it on original release (when I wanted it). Looks like average is around 50 bucks.

Wow, the price has jumped then. I got it quite a few years back for like 5 bucks. I knew it had gone up, but man.

Yah I feel like I keep missing the retro train on each console and jumping in when prices skyrocket.

I see a fair amount of GCN stuff @ pawn shops also

Any of you guys in the Philadelphia area know of any good spots? Figured I'd take a shot.
