Does anyone know any reputable website(s) that sells classic consoles, games and gaming accessories? I'm looking to get some old game systems that I used to have when I was a kid so I can put it in my room and let it collect dusts. Thanks for any information provided.đź‘Ť
 
I want to avoid Ebay because I've had bad experiences in the past with with bad sellers (they had good ratings). Must be just my luck or something. I haven't found any non-franchised gaming shops around here. GameStop or EBGames don't even carry too much last generation stuff anymore let alone classic/retro stuff.:lol:
 
You could try thrift shops or a Salvation Army store. I once checked one out and they had dozens of SNES and Gennys. That's where I actually bought my first wheel.
 
You probably have to look online. Back in the Electronics Boutique days, I could find a good classic or two. Nowadays, you mostly see older games that can be run on XP. There are a number of old PC games I want to get, but are nowhere to be found at a physical store. So it's best to go online to eBay and stuff.
 
ebay is probably your best bet
but, in the Gamestation in Edinburgh they have a case with like a SNES and stuff in it, dunno if they were selling them though
 
Seriously, if you don't have any small game shops around, a pawn shop is your best bet. Good luck finding a working NES, though. Always test it out before you buy it, ESPECIALLY at a pawn shop!
 
check out this website, http://www.videogamesnewyork.com/ they have Everything! and they import games as well they have an online shop but i have never used it, i live in Philadelphia pa. about 110 miles away so i drive their whenever i can(to NYC) i would suggest going to the store if you live close enough, under "The Store" at the top of the page their are some pictures of the store and the street address, the forth picture is a wall of Nintendo and super nintendo games, on the main page they list all the console they have games for and systems, some say they don't have any products like Sega CD but i know the last time i was their they have a couple systems and a bunch of games so i would say go to the store.

I never thought of pawn shops, but that's true. Some of them feature old games and old game systems in very manageable quality.
