i kind of understand what you and a few of the other folks are saying,but sometimes ebay or other online services are the only way for me to find games.as im sure im not the only one,i work two jobs,i have 2 kids,and my wife works after i get home alot of the time.so,that dont really leave me alot of time to go "video game huntin".i do go to the thrift shops on weekends,and i go to gamecrazy every friday,and i hit pawn shops and game/dvd/cd exchange type places when i can,plus i truly feel i do find "good deals" on ebay alot of times where the price,with shipping is alot cheaper then it would be,even at a goodwill or whatever.also,its cool to see what games people find,even if its"common crap"to some folks.i just enjoy looking at and talking about game stuff,and now i kind of feel like that on this forum that if the game is"not uber,special,rare"or i didnt find it at some thrift shop,or rummage sale,thats its not worth talking about or posting.that kinda sucks.
