    Default online sites to buy classic games?

    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 and J2 Games 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:

    http://www.8bitclassics.com/index.php

    http://store.gameasylum.us/
    The world has moved on and left me behind. Therefore I choose to retreat into the past.
