Where do you get most of your stuff from?

[darkcat]

most of my stuff is from pawn shops thrift shops and kijiji. ebay takes the fun out of collecting for me theres no hunt for it.

Majority of my stuff is from ebay, but theres a shop here called Revolution CD and from time to time they have some goodies, they dont always have the best prices though. Although i actually picked up my Sega Saturn from them.

Ebay by necessity since I live in a rural area with only a few thrift shops. When I asked a local thrift shop for NES hookups and controller, they put a well-used NES RF + controller in a baggie with Othello and were going to charge me over $20 for it. I find something in Goodwill worth reselling a few times a year. I have found bargains on Ebay, though, by browsing a lot, viewing completed auctions and sniping at low prices.

Salvation Army and Goodwill, then pawn shops and yard sales. Craigslist and ebay as a last resort.

My last post in this thread was in 2008, and since then I've been finding a lot less in thrift stores and more in movie/game stores. A Dallas area chain called Movie Trading Company sells old games, and I've found a lot of great (and rare) Atari games there over the years, along with a few assorted oddities. And retro gaming stores have blossomed all over this area since 2008, so I've got a good little selection of places to find games in. I don't have to rely on thrift stores or flea markets as much, although since I've been heading out of the Dallas/Fort Worth area for flea markets I've been coming across more finds lately.

Friends- Got a free Dreamcast with three controllers, 2 VMU's, and Gauntlet Legends from my sister-in-law!

Flea Markets- Not so much anymore b/c there is only one near me, and it usually has nothing new to offer.

Ebay- So addicting.

Gamestop- For GameCube games.

The Digital Press Store- Went there for the first time last week. About a two hour drive, but tons of good stuff!

Ebay and forums, I guess these are the best choices to find what you're looking for

Over the last year I have been getting the majority of my current gen stuff from Best Buy since it's way cheaper than everywhere else, including amazon. I still use ebay for the majority of my imports though.

Usually from flea markets or forums, it's almost impossible to get a good deal on anything around here.

Ebay for me since there are just about no shops close enough to buy from or that carry games i want.

You do know that cash converters is'nt an Austrilla on;y chain.. I have 2 of them near me in the US

The one by me is a scary place to go. The way they set up the store is down right dangerous. Needless to say they try to put up signs saying you ( the customer is responsible for your own safety not the store. Almost makes me wanna go get injured just to sue em. The other one is in south jersey ( rt 88). Total opposite. Clean organized and the people are friendly. I sometimes think the privately owned stores of Cash converters are worse than if they all were told to do things the same way.
