From a local garage sale, the mom was selling her son's collection. The lady was tough, but haggling worked.

That's all :p - retro all the way, the recent ones like ps1,ps2,ps3, psp, vita are kept in plastic containers since there is way too much.

General / best place to find used games?

« on: August 21, 2013, 12:16:23 pm »

i read forums from different sites and people are saying swap meets, flea markets, thrift stores. I live in the la area and went to a few. some sellers jack up the price and when i try to haggle, they wonnt give in. one seller tried to sell me a loose sega saturn for $350. i'm reading other peoples post saying they got 20+ nes games and a boxed nes system for like $40. where is a good place to find these deals?

yeah it sucks, i was following 2 sellers and for 3 months, they kept on relisting 7 day items and kept using the same prices and wouldn't even bother lowering it. Can't they take a hint that everyone watching it wants it lowered? lol

In the past, I have bought a few sealed games from completely different sellers. When I got the items, the packages seems really light. So I go ahead and just open them, test them out, they turn out to be fakes. The prices I got really cheap. But its been years later and was wondering how to identify real from fake.

And this one? I'm not sure about buying sealed games that cheap. I bought 3 last week from different sellers and all of the games were fake.

I'm trying to get some games. The price is more than triple of what it's worth. I tell them to use the pricecharting.com website and then respond by saying it's made up prices by me.

here's mine, i bought them in the mid 90s and kept them stored away. But recently I started collecting again just focused on GB games. Craigslist and ebay are what I use mostly.

I don't remember it having an E rating since that came out after 1998. I bought a sealed copy of f-zero for SNES for $12 bucks and it had an E rating. Isn't it supposed to be the K-A rating?
