Where are some good places to score SNES games? (1 Viewer)

[Rob Lutter]

I just got an SNES yesterday on whim w/ a copy of Super Mario RPG (best game EVER) for $34 (which is about the price SMRPG goes for on eBAY ). The SNES is a piece of shit (looks like someone literally dragged it behind their car), and it is dying for a cleaning, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place besides EB and GAMESTOP where I can find older SNES games?

I should really send my parents the bill for all this stuff because they gave it all away when I was a kid

I get a lot of mine from Half.com.

It's a lot of work, Darth, but garage sales rule for that sort of thing. I was at one last summer where I scored about 30 SNES, NES, and Genesis games for $10. I sold most on eBay and made a pretty good penny.

That wasn't your parents' house, was it? I noticed a lot of the games had "Property of Rob" scribbled in crayon on the back.

I found a game or two off the internet. I was able to score MegaMan X2 from a friend and MMX3 from FuncoLand's website.

Funcoland and similar stores charge ridiculous prices for SNES games. The best way to go is checking all the area pawn shops once a week or so. SNES games are in low demand, so if someone pawned their whole collection, you'll likely be able to cherry pick it. One time I came across 80 NES games someone had pawned and I was able to get the 7 of them that were rare for $2 each.

I needed some stuff to play, so I got Super Metroid for $20 and F-ZERO for $5 at my local Funcoland today... I was really surprised to see that they had SM (well worth it). I am really lovin' Super Metroid... I have never played it before :b

Alright, I am going to check out some pawn shops and stuffs around Fort Lauderdale after next week (Spring Break, w00t!)

I am trying not to get any games I already have (well, I had Super Mario RPG, but I lent it to my friend 5 years ago and he has since moved... heheh) because there is still a small chance I can recover some games from my now-grown-up cousin that wrongfully inherited my SNES

Any suggestions for cleaning the SNES? (it's the grimiest console I have ever seen)

I have a local video store that buys and sells used games. They literally have hundreds of titles for consoles ranging from Atari 2600 to Nintendo 64. Their prices are dirt cheap too. A few months ago I got a used Super Nintendo plus a handful of games to entertain a kid I was babysitting for $30. If there are specific titles you're looking for let me know and next time I'm in there I'll see what they've got. I could have it in your mailbox within a week.
