Title: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: shaggy on August 20, 2006, 02:23:44 PM Where do you buy your games from?
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on August 20, 2006, 02:32:34 PM Wait, you buy games?
JK, :pirate: I get most console games used at game stores. Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: captain_nintendo on August 20, 2006, 02:46:27 PM While I get most from either ebay or local stores, I have got a lot from local thrifts and swap meets as well. Also a ton from other local collectors.
So my answer would be: A little from everywhere Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: Tynstar on August 20, 2006, 03:06:45 PM While I get most from either ebay or local stores, I have got a lot from local thrifts and swap meets as well.

Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: Barracuda on August 20, 2006, 09:35:14 PM I generally buy from thrift sales. I sometimes buy from used stores. I rarely buy a new game.
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: UNFORGIVINGPAIN on August 20, 2006, 09:57:29 PM I get my games from thrift stores, yard sales, and The Exchange.
Red White & Blue (http://pittsburgh.citysearch.com/profile/8623468/)Thrift Store Rocks! The Exchange use to be called the video game exchange back in the 90's but now they do a lot of cd's and dvd's. they have five locations in the Pittsburgh area.

Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: den68 on August 21, 2006, 08:59:15 AM A little from everywhere. I leave no stone unturned.
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: Pop Culture Portal on August 21, 2006, 09:02:23 AM The majority of mine are used from game stores, although like everyone else, I get'em where I can.
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: captain_nintendo on August 21, 2006, 09:05:02 AM Glad to see you added my option ;)
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: AndyC on August 21, 2006, 09:48:47 AM I voted a little bit of everywhere.
Whilst the majority probably come from E-bay, I still scour sites such as Amazon and Play for a bargain, in addition to checking out game stores like Game and Gamestation. Blockbuster also have some cheapies from time too time. I very rarely pay full whack for a game. Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: shaggy on August 21, 2006, 02:33:32 PM I get most of my stuff from thrift shops and ebay. I've been trading it a bit more lately so I picked a little of everything! I hardly buy new now unless I find it on clearance at Traget.
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: RetroYoungen on August 21, 2006, 03:37:22 PM I get my stuff from a little bit of everywhere. Thrift shops, modern game stores, CGE, buddies... haven't done any online shopping yet, but workin' on it.
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: Speedy_NES on August 21, 2006, 04:02:04 PM I get the majority of stuff from eBay, and once in a while trade stuff online. I do occasionally go to flea markets, but I hardly ever find anything worthwhile for my NES collection there, so the stuff I find at those places is usually sold or traded online to get more NES stuff online :)
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: James on August 21, 2006, 04:09:50 PM I go to Gamestation quite often. It's where I get most of my games. A lot of the time they have Mega Drive games for £2 buy-one-get-one-free.
I go to car boot sales when I can, and I browse eBay every now and then. I only buy stuff on eBay if it's something I really want and it's at the normal going price. I've spent a long time bidding on Sonic CDs but they've always gone for slightly more than I want to pay. I finally got one at a good price this week. Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: Funk_Buddy on August 25, 2006, 09:15:03 AM I get my games in this order:
Message boards eBay Thrift stores Antique malls rarely from retail stores unless it's a great sale. Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: NES_Rules on August 25, 2006, 02:36:46 PM I get 75% of my games from garage sales, 20% from the flea market, 4% from thrift stores, and 1% from game stores. I quit buying new games since Tony Hawk's Underground.
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: tholly on August 25, 2006, 04:35:56 PM a little from everywhere....pretty much wherever i can find something i want / dont have
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: atari_wizard on August 25, 2006, 05:24:45 PM Pawn shops, eBay, message boards, thrift stores, classifieds & yard sales.
Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: Izret101 on August 26, 2006, 06:07:06 PM I use to get all mine from a few local shops.
Then i started getting 90% of my games on eBay. Now i am back to looking at local shops, eBay and friends again. Title: Re: Weekly Poll 8/20/06 Post by: wrldstrman on August 26, 2006, 10:53:41 PM with the price of gas and small to no finds at yard sales and the fact there are no thrift stores around here its mostly ebay
