If disgaeniac was here, he'd tell you to go see his buddy Mike at: www.collectorscardsandgames.com The website is straight out of '96 and to the naked eye you'd think it would be kinda shifty. But, he's a straight shooter, but can be a little slow, since he's the only person there and he has to sift through all of his stock to find things.

I bought a bunch of Saturn games from him a few months ago and it did take a while, but eventually he did get me most of the games I was looking for and shipped them out in a nice package so the cases wouldn't be damaged.

lol you beat me and disgaeniac to this. I was going to post pretty much the same thing. He is great to get stuff from as long as you don't need it in a hurry :)

I just wish he would update his site more often. The last 3 times Ive sent him a list of games I was going to get, he emails me back and says they are all gone. :O

Soera, I'm super jealous that you have Tron Bonne and Widget in your collection.



Matt should help this guy create a database that is easy to manage.

I got lucky and found Widget sitting on the shelf of a local game store for $5 ... even the guy working there was shocked it was still there.

One I check from time to time is mtgfanatic.com. It's actually a magic the gathering website (which is why it took me a while to find it), but they do have a video game section. Their prices are pretty average, but sometimes they have some of the rarer stuff for lower-than-usual prices.

For imports, japangamestock.com is pretty good. Not amazing, but almost always lower than Ebay prices (and if you get the famicom or super famicom games loose if you buy 3 you get a fourth free). I've heard good things about gameofjapan.com, but I've never used them yet.

I may need to look into that place if I ever pick up a PC Engine Duo/ Turbo Duo.

I've heard good things about Play-Asia, but their prices can be way out there.

I'm gonna share the websites i use

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-49-fr.html
http://global.rakuten.com/en/
http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/

Also using Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de
But since im not gonna be in Europe anymore i think the fees would be super high.
