Well, I guess the title says it all. I tend to like buying stuff complete, or at least with a box and manual, and unfortunately the only decent place I can find is eBay... and I refuse to pay 100 bucks for Dracula X. Anybody know a good place to get SNES games in complete condition? And might something like an expo place be a good thing? I ask since I constantly hear about the Bayside Expo Center during the summer, and I wouldn't be against wading through the masses that tend to show up in places like that.

Thanks.

well you could check out our trademeets "the east coast's largest", we get together in jamaica plain 3 times a year (forrest hills- orange line). we have all sorts of games with a decent amount of boxed SNES stuff. as for retail stores around boston its pretty thin, when you do find SNES stuff its almost always loose carts. the bayside expo center is a tradeshow hall, you know home shows, boat shows and that sorta thing, not used games. your best bet would be to try the revere flea market once the warm weather starts.

keep an eye on our website (in sig). we're planning an update soon which will have an expanded stores list.

try and make the next meet in june.

if you're north of boston, I would recommend Video Game Exchange. The main store is in Plaistow NH (right on the mass border from Haverill) although they're making a second ship in mass, I just forget where. The prices are fair to crazy, but complete SNES stuff is a sort of specialty of theirs, I've never seen so many complete snes games in my life.

Heh, unfortunately I don't have a car... cardboard boxes, huh? That sounds conspicuous. >_> Thanks though.

And Video Game Exchange, what type of store are they? More of a trade in type place, or a regular new games store with some SNES stuff? I'm guessing from the name that it's more of the former kind. Gracias for the tip.
