[linkzpikachu]

i know about risingstuff.com (good website) and the very high priced japangamestock.com, but are there any others similar to risingstuff.com?

You could do a search in this forum which will bring up 100s of threads just like this one.

You can always try eBay sellers there sell for low prices usually.

I've saw Famicom stuff on eBay UK which was cheap and worth but lost some of the Famicom want that I had.

tbh, I'm more into South Park than anything else.

Well for me I stay away from websites and ebay for one.

Forums are your best bet to score some cheap games,also craigslist is a great place to look,I got 6 super fami games for 25 bucks shipped.

If you're only a buyer at eBay you got no fees thus nothing to worry, except shell-bidding (sellers may fake bids on their items to raise the price).

I don't have much choice than use Amazon and eBay, I live in UK.

Gumtree isn't reliable scammers are there.

It's shill bidding, not shell bidding.  Shell bidding would be bidding on or with shells.

HIT-JAPAN on ebay is a tad more than I usually want to pay, but they have primo items and their communication is second to none.

I get a lot of stuff from Risingstuff and Ebay, haven't really found anywhere else that has good deals. I almost never find Japanese games/systems on Craigslist, tho they do pop up from time to time. (I've purchased a Super Famicom on there once, and seen the Final Fantasy 777 LE PSP for sale, but it was too far away for me to go get it. I also see disc-based games on there fairly often, but it's usually not anything I'm that interested in, or not at a decent price.)

As for Ebay, Hit-Japan is pretty good and I actually find them reasonably priced half the time. Yamatoku is also a great seller, tho people have started to catch on and so his penny auctions end up closing for more than I'd pay. I still get some good deals from him from time to time tho. I also use DVD-Dolce and Palet_th on a semi-regular basis. Palet, tho, I only bid on his penny auctions (or whatever they are, I think it's $0.99).

The big thing about this, tho, is it's a crap-shoot as far as what's available. But if you have patience and aren't too set about exactly what you're looking for, you can get some great deals from these places/sellers.

Aw yes, Joe.

Shell, shill, got confused and just used the first came to mind.

eBay has become unreliable to trust them, it's just hard to trust other sellers to think that they're honest about their position on eBay and as sellers.

After the sales I still got up, I'll stay away from eBay their fees are just too stupid to dealt with. But it would be nice, if it was possible to use fake info and pay nothing from the fees at all.

RisingStuff has great items and prices but they miss out most of what the client wants.
