having no real local options to buy retro games, is the unfortunate reason i have to spend more money by shopping on ebay

It really pays to shop the same places. They know me well where I go. I get great deals and they'll hold stuff for me they know I want.

you know what sucks, i moving pretty soon and the town i moving to has no thrift shops,comic book stores and only one pawn shop,
i will have to drive 40 minutes to the city that i live in now just to get anything old and video game related

It might be worth that 40 minute drive though. I mean, whenever I move, I'll still be willing to head back just based on getting EarthBound and Little Samson here.

I love to get games at thrift stores. I must admit however if there is a certain game I really want I will buy it online or at one of the retro stores around here. The most I've ever paid for a game was Metal Slug 5 on the AES... cost me $700

I live in the suburbs of a pretty large city, but all the thrift stores and Goodwills in my area are mostly stocked with clothing. Game-wise, I only ever see common Generation 2 consoles or the occasional NES game, which I have no real interest in buying. The few times I see more current games, they are hilariously overpriced. $30 for a loose copy of Guitar Hero 2? No thanks. A friend of mine gets most of his games from a local flea market, but most of the vendors speak very limited English, and I don't know a lick of Spanish. Maybe I could hitch a ride with my friend at some point, as he's bilingual.

TL;DR you guys are lucky and I'm jealous. :P
