I do this a looot you know (most of them for the pc or psx), most of the times you find really nice masterpieces by a really low price, like 3 days ago i found the original resident evil trilogy in $30 (i am beating the second one right now, amazing action game)
So, do you buy old games in second hand stores?

One thing, is that i dont like to buy "cartridge" games in this stores cause most of the times they are filled with alcohol.... (at least in my country people think that solvents clean that stuff even if the package clearly says that you must not used it)

All the time.I always look for snes classics but nobody ever has them. :)I also shop for GBA games, usually old strategy RPGs or just straight up strategy.Yeah, I recently became addicted to Advance Wars and Fire Emblem.

I buy quite a few pre-owned games from placed like game crazy and eb games (game stop). I never buy unless they are complete, with a good disc. I also trade it lots of discs. With my xbox modded I rarely buy older games anymore.Yea i buy em quite a lot, as long as i can return em if they don't work. Its great getting games for 360 so cheap =P

Normally i just take in a game i'm sick of and trade it with the guy in the second hand store... Long time customers have benefits.

I used to do it a lot, but now i no longer trust any second hand shops to test their games properly. i have not bought a second hand game that didn't have some kind of fault for a loooong time.

Oh, yes! sometimes you just need to get your hands on that old gem, nothing feels better than getting to blow the dust out of the cartridge of an old game that's new to me.

Since I only just started playing video games again a couple of years ago, I really had to rely on used game stores to collect the great games that I have missed so far...I live near LA and there is this store call Game Dude in North Holywood, they're prices are fair and they have a lot of old classic games. Any of you near here should check them out!

Yeah, I buy second-hand games at Gamestop. Only if it IS or WAS good. For instance, Final Fantasy VII, or any other FF titles.I remember during last summer, I came across FFIX, but I didn't have any cash and I thought to myself that someone else was going to buy it soon. One week later, It's still on the shelf and I grab it! So, it was a steal! Also, the discs were adequate enough to play, almost barely no scratches.Yup-Now I always check the used section to see if there are any more good games.
