anywhere else online besides ebay that has a decent selection of vintage games at "within reason" prices. Looking for games to play, not to collect.
Thanks

You can buy games right here on DP, And I think you can buy games on Cheapassgamer.com aswell, But you can't post in their Buying and selling forum until you've been a member for 30 or 60 days.

I would suggest checking out www.Tradengames.com. I buy from the site often and I'm always pleased with my purchases :).

I've bought a few games off of Amazon.com - I occasionally skim the cheap stuff to see if there's anything worth paying $3.50-$4.00 shipped for, and sometimes I'll find a decent game or two that I've been interested in among all the sports titles. Most of the popular games can be pricey, though.
Along with that, estarland (http://www.estarland.com) and J2 Games (http://www.j2games.com) have pretty good selections, but both tend to be pricey.
Hope that helps!

I appreciate those links as well. You're right though. A lot of things are a bit on the pricey side.
You, or anyone else for that matter, wouldn't happen to know of an online source for classic computer items? Items for all of the 8-bit systems, i.e. Atari 800, C64, Vic-20, TRS-80, ect. I'm currently trying to find a disk drive controller card and attached ribbon cable for a Tandy COCO. Not having much luck either.
Here's two other great sites for purchasing some classic stuff:
