So, in working, I've made a bit of money lately and looking at my Genesis, I see it's quite sad state with only 3 games. I've been checking up on Ebay, which, if I might add, has got pretty expensive (They really get you with shipping -.-). Where do you go to buy your classic games for pretty much any classic systems?

Besides eBay? Videogamesnewyork (the actual store, not online) and Play N Trade are the two places I go to buy Genesis games. You're more likely to find a better deal at the latter, and you're nowhere near NYC anyway =P

Normally I buy local because I'm a big old nerd like that.

I will say for British folks looking to buy Japanese titles, I strongly back GenkiVideoGames

Seconded. The prices are a little high, but they deliver. Literally. You can also pay a little extra for next-day delivery, but I never bother.

Thrift shops mostly. Game Crazy still sells Genesis games last I checked, cheap too.

Do those still exist? I remember they used to have, like, a dollar for four and such but all the Hollywood Videos around here have gone down, taking GC with them.

I buy local whenever possible. We have a really nice retro game shop in town. In cases where I can't find what I'm looking for, I just go to Amazon. I'm very paranoid about online shops, so I usually run with the big online companies.

I work at a Play N Trade, so I get most of mine from there. I get some pretty good deals with my employee discount, and we always have awesome sales going on.

I go to eBay and other sites when I can find stuff for cheap. I also love checking at thrift shops and yard sales, but I rarely find good stuff. The thrill is in the hunt, though!
