    I got Great Greed from Good Deal Games, which is run by an enthusiast who's also a former game developer. His store doesn't have online checkout or any sort of shopping cart code, but you get personalized service by e-mail for every order.

    Atari2600.com is a good website. I have bought and sold stuff from them with no problem.

    They even checked my 2600 kiosk circuit board when it wouldn't turn on

    There's also:

    www.estarland.com

    They have a brick and mortar retail store in VA, which I've been to. I don't remember if they keep or thow out the boxes on GameBoy products if they receive them; It's been a while since I've been there. I've also ordered from their site before without any issue.

    Pinky G's is pretty cool. A little overpriced on most of their stuff but I still take the trip up there about once a month or so. Mainly for t-shirts and the restaurants nearby. :nod:

    www.zockertraum.de is another good retro-games shop in Germany.
    I think that the delivery internationally ...

    With the coupon code "GAMEFRONT" you get a 10% off there.

    Online game stores are really expensive.

    There used to be a ton of them, but alot of them have dissapeared. You can try out www.consolegoods.co.uk for hardware.

    Since you live in Belgium you should try going to gizmoxia, a store in Gent. They also have a website which is www.gizmoxia.be .

    You're best bet is probably to buy games on auctioning sites like ebay or www.marktplaats.nl

    Also, watch out with buying gba games online, lots of them are fake :fresh:

    Take a look at retrogame-shop.com also they're a nice french shop located in Paris. Since you're in Belgium it wouldn't be a problem to have things from them. They have numerous things but they're quite expensive like moeroshop.
