Where do you buy your retro games from these days?
NickAwesome:
Local FB Collector Groups, Regional FB groups, ebay, Game Conventions, local game stores- so many great options in the PNW!

I pretty much only buy from eBay Auctions these days. Never had good luck with FB Marketplace or any other local groups like that, and my local game shop has reached the same or higher average Buy it Now price levels on retro games that you'd find on eBay, so it's becoming increasingly rarer and rarer to find a truly great deal there. Lovely place though, it's fun to just walk around and browse their stock. There used to be a few local pawn shops with a decent stock of games but they've closed down in the last few years. Guess their "$4 for any game on the shelf" deal wasn't good enough to keep them afloat in the post-pandemic economy, sadly. It's worth mentioning that I don't buy too many games anymore; the last time I bought a used game was in June with a second copy of Battlefield 3 for co-op since the online mode is shutting down soon, and before that, my last game purchase was in November.

I rarely buy those things anymore. But sometimes I still buy games that I'm interested in on local FBs and on Ebay.

I buy from eBay exclusively these days and the majority of the time I only bid on stuff I think I can get for cheap. I've lucked out a few times, just got a basically brand new DS Lite CIB for barely over $100 which considering the condition was a steal. As well as a few low end DS games for $2 apiece. I have no time to travel to thrift stores, garage sales, used game stores, etc. I'm too busy and collecting is hardly a priority anymore, so I buy when I have a little extra cash and I don't get my hopes up on bidding but like I said sometimes I get lucky.

there are a few local mom and pop shops within an hour in any given direction from where I live. But I Usually only go to one regularly. I never go to gameStop anymore and I won't buy online either.
