Best way to start: Ask your friends if they have any old games and game systems that they don't use anymore and you can have for free. (Or for very little). It works! High school friends are the best for this. :) My personal examples are trading a copy of Super Mario 64 and a SNES controller for a Turboexpress and a TV tuner, and the same friend gave me 10 free TG16 games. It NEVER hurts to ask.

me personnaly im 15,I usually look at flea markets, yard sales, and pawn shops.. I usaully find good stuff cheap, like today I got shining force I for 2.00, just look around you will find stuff cheap.. and when I find games I already have that are worth it, I will buy them and trade them on here for something else I need/want, or I trade it to friends and if they don't want it it possible goes into storage or up on Ebay

you should find a summer job mowing lawns or delivering newspaper or something.

I am also 15, but i took some initionitive (sp?) went out and got a job, I work 32 hours a week in the summer, and like 20 hours a week during school (just weekends during school). I have to pay for my own ISP since I wanted a cable modem, and I pay for all of my own games, I never have to leech cash off mom, which sorta makes me feel good I guess. 8-)
If you don't want to get a job, sell sell sell. Clean out your room, your friends place, your grandma's place, any place. Just get stuff which is worth some cash and sell it! Then use that money for more stuff...
