Best Sites to buy Dreamcast Games (Besides eBay)

Postby myshtuff » Sat Jan 14, 2017 4:05 pm

So I am trying to find good sites to buy Dreamcast games and obviously I know of eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist. However, I wanted to see if anyone knew of any other sites that sell them as well. In the U.S., I saw that Gamestop started selling DC games on their site recently which is kind of funny. I am even interested in sites that do game swaps too as opposed to official stores.

I don't prefer GameStop. I was just saying it's funny that they're selling retro games again.

Awesome. Thank you! I'll check 'em out. I am hoping to go to my local flea market next weekend and pick some good stuff up. :P

^in terms of bargains you probably won't find much better than flea-markets and charity shops I guess. Good luck hunting

Here is a couple of NA based physical/online retro game stores:

Game Street

Game Over Videogames

I'm aware that they even let you open an used SNES cart to check out if it's an original if you are in the store.

I've been to one of the stores in Houston, and although their inventory was very impressive, their prices are ridiculous for 95% of the games that are actually appealing.

I totally understand but I only tossed suggestions that I know they have acceptable reputation. Retro games are expensive if you are looking for the good stuff and want to do it away from sites like EBay.

If you really know how to spot fakes at ease, then definitely Craigslist, flea markets and pawn shops are the best value for your buck. Most local gaming shops have some sort of a market value chart so bargaining is pretty hard on the retro valuables. At least for me lol.

Yeah I went to a local retro shop and they were charging some pretty outrageous prices for fairly common games. That's why I'm looking into alternatives.
