I decided to go window shopping at jjgames.com - it's a site I had used several years ago but haven't been here since probably 2013. Here's a look at what they have, what rare games they carried on their site and what I ended up grabbing.
JJGames was not aware I was doing this and I did pay for everything. Not sponsored but feel free to call me a shill. I know you love it as it brings joy to your life.

trade n games was my go to site for ordering games not on ebay. they're great for helping complete my genesis titles, since they sell boxes and/or manuals alone as well. Large selection as well.

JJGames used to be my go to for games, but then they switched owners. After that all the prices went way up and for a while it seemed like they only sold really rare games. Lately I've had good success with lukie games. Decent prices and selection.

So, priority mail was $17.50 and regular was free. It came 4 days later and was priority, lol. A company I buy from is the same way. Free shipping from Washington to NY always comes priority in a few days. Choosing priority at checkout is about $20 as well

@Harlan6493 Жыл бұрын

I actually like JJ Games quite a lot. I’ve had several bulk purchases with them at prices I liked, packaged well and arrived as advertised. They used to not be very organized and I believe they briefly closed for a while but I’m glad to see them back and will continue to buy from them. Far and away better than DKOldies prices.

@TotallySearch Жыл бұрын

They still sell some scratchy games if you're unlucky but at least they don't charge you 3 times the price unlike DKoldies

@Ripplin Жыл бұрын

I used to buy from JJGames a lot...then the site shut down and there was a weird transitional period where the site was a huge mess, and now that it's back up, I can't afford to buy anything. Shipping used to be incredibly cheap before the change (like, $2.50 to ship up to 5 lbs to Canada!), but now it's so insanely expensive I can't do it. :(

My only problem with buying retro games online is they might look in good condition on the outside but how do you know if they are actually going to work? Whereas in most used game stores you can try out games in the store before buying them to make sure they actually work

@tr1bes Жыл бұрын

Majority of cart base games work. Disc base games are iffy.

@michaelsegal3558 Жыл бұрын

@@tr1bes I’ve actually have had quite a few cart based games not work in fact the used game store that I go to i there has been some NES games I wanted and at least maybe 50% of the time I’ve tested them and they didn’t work also haven’t you ever seen John’s open cart surgery videos? And sometimes John can’t even get them working even after he tries to fix them so therefore there is the risk of cart games not working as well so that’s why I wouldn’t buy a used game unless I’m able to test it before purchase in fact I’ve had more cart game fail on me than discs games also not too long ago I had to buy myself another copy of the NES game Super Mario Bros. 2 because the copy I had kept failing each time I tried playing it and yes I tried cleaning it and it still failed so cart games still have the risk of failing and that’s why I would try to avoid buying used games online if possible because I like testing my used games before buying them if possible

If they don't work, you can return them... and if they refuse force a return (on Amazon or eBay) and/or do a credit card chargeback.
