Because I want to spend money

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.

    You had a hard time finding a Mega Man game?

    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.

    An NES Megaman game.

    Easy enough to locate locally if one has a place selling classic games. Physically impossible if they don't.
