Where to buy import games and systems?
I have been using these for quite some time now:
http://www.liksang.com
http://www.play-asia.com
http://www.ncsx.com
http://www.buyritegames.com
Are there any other websites that sell import games and systems?
sorry if this has been covered before, a search did not come up with anything.

Those are the major players. Toys n Joys is also good, I hear.
I just made an order with Play Asia.. and will never do it again unless they just have something in stock I can't find anywhere else.. I made the order on 08/13 and it HAS YET TO EVEN SHIP. I'm sorry, but it does not take 10+ days to package 2 Gameboy games and drop them in the mail.
NCSX is amazing.. they just don't have a lot of older stock, and only use UPS (which sucks so bad).

I would very much discourage you from using Buy Rite any further. I ordered from them a few times, years ago.. took forever, but I got my stuff. Not so for most people. I've read so many horror stories.. people ordering new Saturn games, getting used Genesis ones, for example. Here's one place - 1 star rating based on 26 reviews - but just check out any bigger/import-inclined gaming forums to see. It's a wonder they're still in business. Oh! Check them out on the BBB
While you're at it, stay away from Toys 'n Joys too
Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record due to unanswered complaints concerning delivery problems & product dissatisfaction. The Bureau has processed 346 complaints about this company in the last 36 months
