    Default Ways to build up my collection?

    I Have a collection of about 200 games total. Most of those being NES Games. I Am trying to figure out ways to expand my collection without going to Greedbay. I Go to Flea Markets, Thrift stores and stuff like that but what else could i do?
    I Need a life....Wait! I DO HAVE ONE! CLASSIC GAMES ARE!

    yes but a majority of the time as sad as it is,online is "quality" id recommend doing something like i did, buy something crazy rare and sealed really low "ON BID",re-sell high 2- 3 months later, i did this with an action set sealed,a new in box deluxe set and a sealed virtual boy to make my collection!

    I know a lot of people here find deals at flea markets, pawn shops, goodwill, and classic game stores. If you don't have those options open to you like me you'll have to resort to eBay. However, occasionally I also find deals over at Game Gavel and eCrater. But they sadly, don't have the selection that you will find on eBay.

    If you wait long enough, pretty much anything will show up at the right time at the right price. Diligence is key. Just visit often and you'll eventually find enough. However, unless the game is ungodly rare or sells for a good price, only buy what you will play.

    I find a lot of stuff on Kijiji and Craigslist. Apart from online though you're pretty much out of luck. Just take your time building up your collection.

    Also make sure you check out the buy and sell section on here.

    Depending on how old you are, ask your friends if they have any old games they don't want anymore. I've gotten about 30 games and 5 consoles for free that way.
