With the opening of a nearby store that sells classic games, my collection has seen a bit of a boom lately. And while I've been able to fill many holes in my collection (FINALLY got a copy of Mega Man 1 a few months ago), there are still a few specific titles that elude me, mostly Saturn games.
I was wondering if anyone here would be able to share their most reliable online retailers for classic games.

I'd suggest something if I could. The best way I found classic NES games was making a list of stuff I wanted and posting it on Craig's List with a reasonable price for each listed title.
One guy, I swear, he had the perfect NES collection. Not only perfect in his selection of awesome games, but they were all mint condition. I had posted a list of NES games I wanted to buy on Craig's List, and named my prices, most of which were reasonable / near market value. Meaning a lot of them were $5 or less. But a few key titles that I really wanted, like the complete Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Contra, Super C, Contra Force, etc etc., I priced pretty nicely. Anyway, this guy had 'em. He had 'em all. Think of a classic NES game - he has it, and it's mint condition. Anyway, I ended up spending like $70 buying nearly all of the guy's stuff. It was great.
Other than that, just Ebay is all I can do really. Not many retailers in general do this sort of thing any more, online or off.
I've had good luck with Amazon and old games. I got a complete version of Rocket Knight Adventures and Landstalker from there, along with Lunar 1 and 2

I would just keep scouring eBay every day to see what turns up. That's probably the most reliable way of finding the classics you want.

You had a hard time finding a Mega Man game?
An NES Megaman game.
Easy enough to locate locally if one has a place selling classic games. Physically impossible if they don't.
