Hey to all NY dwellers, what are the best places to find classic games in the NYC vicinity? I thought maybe we could all help each other out by posting our finds, including stores, thrift shops, and flea markets. I myself have found a vendor at the Aqueduct Flea market in Queens who sells some retro systems and games. This same vendor also goes to the Green Acres Mall Flea Market.

There is a game store in Gertz Plaza mall in Jamaica, Queens that has sealed copies of many SNES and Sega Saturn sports games. I've been looking around for pawn shops and thrift shops but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone here have any locations they would suggest?

Yeah I've heard of that store, I haven't had a chance to check it out yet though. I was hoping that somone in NY might have had any other suggestions, I would've thought there would be a lot of different places I could check in NY but apparently not.

The problem with questions like this is that if someone has a good spot where they go to get cheap games, they're probably going to keep it to themselves. It's almost like asking "Where do you find all your amazing deals so I can get them before you?". Competition is good for sports, not collecting.

In the Bronx theres some good game shops on and near Fordham road, but I dont know the exact location, dont live there anymore. I visit them ever year when I visit my family for Christmas.
