Best place to buy used systems and games?

Other than Amazon? I'm recently getting back into games and I bought a Gamecube and some games. But I'd like to know if there are other places than Amazon.

Locally it's Game Force. I think they do online sales.

If you live in Southern California a good place would be Frank and Son's Collectibles. It's like 1/4 size of San Diego Comic Con but you don't pay for parking or entrance.

Don't listen to this guy.

Amazon is the best.

Sometimes, absurdly good deals show up on eBay, as well.

Sure wait for days or maybe weeks for a game you bought to arrive while everyone else gets to just drive over to Gamestop and buy games faster than you can say "power to the players" (that is, if you already planned on what game you want to buy).

I was just thinking online. Gamestop doesn't have some of the games I want.

A lot of the independent record and movie shops are getting into the used game market. Colorado's famous Twist and Shout is currently sitting on a copy of Ocarina of Time/Master Quest for Gamecube coming in at $27 and a mint condition Chrono Trigger in box for $65.

Oh, trust me... there are better places than Gamestop.

*Disclaimer* As an employee at GameStop I did not say any of this, GameStop is the best place to go to buy your video games and video game accessories. Go to GameStop today, and reserve a game and buy a subscription to GameInformer (the world's No. 1 Gaming Magazine) while you are there. *End Disclaimer*

Well... it's not THAT bad... well the trade-in policy is not beneficial to the consumer, but those are crappy everywhere.

Actually, right now, the tradeins aren't bad. You can get more for certain games than they actually cost to buy.

I know in my area they have Play and Trade, which deals in older stuff, and we recommend people over there all the time if they're looking for something we don't carry anymore. Though we've also heard a lot of negative things about them stick out tongue
