if you live in the middle of nowhere, or northeastern montana, you buy all your crap online. I mostly use ebay

I can vouch for Play 'N' Trade as being a great place for buying used games. They've got a great selection of stuff (they're the only game store I've ever seen who carries 3DO and Sega CD games), and they've got great prices on their older stuff. Newer stuff, though, not as much.

Local game stores are a great place, as well, and if you're dedicated, garage sales can be great, too. I've made some excellent hauls at garage sales over the past year.

If all else fails, though, eBay and Amazon.com are your friends. Just be sure to read the descriptions well.

in canada i think gamestop EB still have old carts in most of them. But its better to make it to all those little places, Garage sales or swap meets like in the US are fun places to check out. even if its all crap, its usually fun.

don't rule out small theft if your any good at it, from places that are harming the economie and profiting off third world nations. (WaLL MART is ok to take back from, there evil copulate ers who need to choke and die)

True, even if you come home empty-handed, garage sales are usually fun, if only to see what stuff people pull out of their garage to sell. It's also a real rush and a great feeling to find something you're interested in, especially when it's cheap.

Can't say I agree with theft, though. I like to save money, but I'd never steal something.

I used to steal but doesn't wallmart have security? Y'know like everywhere else. I don't steal anymore, so I'd much rather buy than be caught or just feel good knowing that guilt will never kick in.
I haven't been here in awhile, and looking back it's one of the worst ideas I ever had. I'm back and I'll be here for awhile, I was quite active 1 year ago and I hope to become that again.
