Title: Where to buy video games in the Winter? Post by: asz22 on December 03, 2008, 12:49:01 PM I was hoping that someone could give me some advice as to where to buy video games in ohio in the winter? There really is no place to go around here and was hoping you guys had an idea of a flea market or video game store. Thanks

Title: Re: Where to buy video games in the Winter? Post by: asz22 on December 03, 2008, 01:10:19 PM Thanks. I go to school in southern ohio near Dayton but I visit toledo, akron and columbus almost every other weekend. I am just mad at the video game stores around here, they charge 15 dollars for super mario brothers 3.

Due a search for goodwill locations, and other thrifts. I don't remember what roads there on but I went to 4 goodwills and one thrift last weekend in that area.
Title: Re: Where to buy video games in the Winter? Post by: NES_Rules on December 03, 2008, 04:35:39 PM I usually take the winter off for my game hunting, because there really isn't much out there. I'll occasionally stop at Goodwill or another thrift if I'm in the area, but I generally don't make a trip just for that.
The only way I've found to get good stuff in the winter months is to frequent the shops daily or at least every other day. Title: Re: Where to buy video games in the Winter? Post by: Tondog on December 03, 2008, 06:09:32 PM Retail, retail, retail. After Christmas sales, FTW.

Craigslist or yahoo groups Title: Re: Where to buy video games in the Winter? Post by: Moriya Hanzo on December 17, 2008, 04:03:28 PM never really tried yahoo groups.
Title: Re: Where to buy video games in the Winter? Post by: NES_Rules on December 17, 2008, 04:23:22 PM never really tried yahoo groups. You should, Freecycle is awesome. But you really have to check it constantly. I've gotten a ton of Mac and C64 games and controllers and some NES and 2600 games. I kind of quit checking it constantly though, I try to check at least once a day.Title: Re: Where to buy video games in the Winter?

Title: Re: Where to buy video games in the Winter? Post by: cverz2 on December 21, 2008, 04:12:38 PM Well it depends on where you live. I live in Belleville, IL. in St. Clair County.
So I would just do searches to find them. Examples of the ones I belong to are: Belleville Bargains Belleville Freecycle St. Clair Swap Shop Sell My Stuff St. Louis Freecycle Granite City Freecylce You'll just have to experiment with names in the Yahoo Groups page until you find one that is in your area. |
