| Where do you get your retro games? |

I frequent Goodwill... Ive picked up quite a bit from there. Only one brick and mortar store in my current city that sells retro/classic games. The common stuff is all buy 1 get 1 $5-$10, but outside of that forget it... There is also a nice store in my hometown in OH that every time I go up to visit I pickup a few games. I also do ebay for junk consoles and fix em up. |

I never think to check Goodwill... |

Most of them I get at local small/independent game stores. A couple here and there at pawnshops and swapmeets. |

I should probably check out a few of our local pawn shops. It's been awhile since I'm made the rounds. Spring is coming and that is yard sale season which really excites me. I almost never find anything gaming related nowadays but it's still fun to get out in the field. And @scott, I check Goodwill often and never find anything worthwhile. :/ |

We seem to have quite a few local retro game stores around the valley, 7 or 8 I think. So I hit those pretty regularly when I'm on my route. In the summer, I go to the one big swap meet at least once a month. In Utah, there is a local classifieds listing that is part of a big local news website that is very popular here, so I'm on there almost every day looking for good deals. Surprisingly enough though, I've gotten about 50 to 60 games from friends that don't want them anymore, and know that I collect this stuff. Not to mention, I've been given 2 NES, 1 SNES, 1 N64, and an Atari 800xl for free. |
