Where do you buy your games?

[Ulticron]

So what is your number one source for the games you get?

I pick up a geat deal of my games at Fleamarkets, pawn shops, and Junk stores. My number two way is a tie between Gamestores like Gamestop and Online stores. Ebay is out of the question simply because I don't like it. As for online Trading, I'm probably going to consider starting that since my number two outlets are starting to dry up some.

I'm sure there have been several threads like this.
Everytime there is a poll, there are never enough selections.

I get most of my games from other local collectors.

It depends. If we're talking new gen games, I usually go to retail stores, like Target, or dedicated game stores, like Gamestop.

For retro junk, I almost always find good deals at dirt malls and junk stores. I used to find retro games at Gamestop and EB until they started killing them off, but even then they were too overpriced.

I use eBay once in a while, usually for hard to find junk, but I typically try to avoid it, since I'm not much on getting into bidding wars, and when I do go on, I try to find BINs.

I usually have bought most of my SNES and up games from my Blockbuster. As far as quality goes, I've only had one problem disc, and I switched that for a different copy at another Blockbuster.

When the right sale is going on, and with the employee discount, I can get a MAJOR DEAL!

Gamestore

It's all about that employee discount.

[Tron 2.0]

Ebay or OnlineStores for me as of late.

To be honest, here.

Where's the rest of the options? Like the HS kid with the sack full of jewlry in one hand and a box of games in the other? Ya know, the nice kid who's always checking out the neigbors house and always gets into truble with the cops? Or the other, ya know, the all the above? I have no one exact way I get games. I get games how ever I can. Some places are better then others, but thats it.

[DTJAAAAMJSLM]

B & M stores, mainly GameStop.

I didn't vote...because I get my games anywhere I can. If I'm trying to get older games I usually get them off ebay, although I also check thrift stores and pawn shops. For current gen games...I get them at game stores like Game Stop and Game Crazy. I'll also buy current gen games at pawn shops...where you can usually find $30 - $40 games for $10.

Same with me! :D

Current gen games I usually get at my store for the employee discount and b/c we occasionally have sales. I also get current gen used games and GameBoy, N64 and PS1 games at GameStop. If there's a game I HAVE TO HAVE the day it's released I reserve it at GameStop so I can pay it off in increments. Older games I usually get at Game Zone in Salem, MA and the occasional harder-to-find stuff on eBay or half.com. I keep meaning to check flea markets and yard sales for stuff but I always miss them cuz of work.

I also get games as gifts all the time

[Kamino]

i beat up kids and steal their games.

[devilman]

Ebay or OnlineStores for me as of late.

Ditto. I also have a nose round the local charity shops and car boot sales when I get chance too as they can sometimes throw up bargains.

[Xizer]

GameStop, Wal-Mart, eBay, here, and Something Awful.

I need to start going to garage sales...

[Vectorman0]

Everything except fleamarket/Pawn Shop/Junk Stores for me. I will hit up the occasional tag sale that I run into, but there are very few local stores that aren't parts of massive corporations.
