☆Where Can I Buy My RetroGaming Goodies?☆@FunStockGames #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

 

So you've been soaking up all the various RetroGaming goodness on Games Freezer this week and you are fed up with emulation of your  favourite Retro Games and want to sample the real thing….

 

It is true that there is nothing quite like hooking up the original hardware and playing it like it was meant to be….

 

A beautiful SNES with a copy of Super Mario Kart connected up to a nice sized CRT is the stuff of dreams for us here at Games Freezer..

 

So if you too dream of owning such a classic gaming combo where would you go to get your hardware haul from?

 

We've pulled together a list of the best places to purchase your RetroGaming wares, so read on and start collecting all the good stuff

1. eBay
eBay always has the potential for a bargain purchase to be had and tends to be our first port of call.
 
We tend to look for 99p auctions whereby the auction ends at odd times.
 
That way you find the item goes for less because it ends at 1am when not as many people are around to bid and outbid you on it.

2. Car Boot Sale
One mans junk is another mans treasure.
 
Car Boot sales were always the best place to find old ZX Spectrums and Commodore 64's pre eBay.
 
They still have plenty of potential to net you a bargain assuming the seller is realistic on price.
 
Best tactic for a Boot Sale is to go around the sale noting items that you are interested whilst also asking prices.
 
Once you have done the circuit and have note of prices, go and put offers in on the ones you want.
 
If the seller wont budge on price and you are not happy with the price, hang around till the sale is nearly over and if they still have the item they will more than likely want to get it sold before they love and will be more likely to negotiate on price.

3. Lukie Games
Lukie Games originally started out by selling video games on Ebay and since then have grown to sell a full line of RetroGaming video games and systems.

They are considered to now be the #1 online seller of classic games in the WORLD! 

They sell around 45,000 games per month and serve over 300,000 customers.
