I buy most of my used games at EB/GameStop. I have their store card, which gives 10% off the price of any used game or accessory, and I will normally wait until another deal is running, such as B2G1 or some extra percentage and stack it with that 10% to make for a pretty decent deal.

I try to wait and load up when Gamestop has B2G1F. I went without buying much for months, but loaded up at the last sale. I have games for the rest of the year now.
I wanted games like God of War II and FFXII when they first came out, but I much prefer to pay around $25 for them so waiting was well worth it.

Wow! That's a blast from the Past! I used to frequent the original Starland store (Annandale) in the early-mid 90's when I lived in NoVa. They always had a ton of imports--got many a good deal on PC Engine games there. Also got my Atari Jaguar at their store pretty close to release day. I have an OLD membership card for their store with a very low number, buried away somewhere.

Didn't even know they had a website until now.

Estarland's prices are ridiculous. Even eBay is a far better option.

Ratcher and Clank Up In Arms, GTA San Andreas, and State of Emergency at $33 shipped used complete. How is that a horrible deal?

as far as ebay prices, it's all supply and demand


if you would have picked up Oblivion there before the expansions were released, you were looking at paying about 25 after shipping

after the updates/expansions, now, you're looking to pay about 40+
