So where do you buy the majority of your import games?

    Just curious. Many of you have quite the collections loaded with Saturn and DC goods.

    Where do you normally source your regular imports from? I'm not talking about proto games and ultra rare items like M2's or Dev kits.

    Besides lik-sang...

    I mostly buy from -

    www.videogameimports.com (Sometimes expensive....but good service)

    Some people on here ^_^

    And ofcourse some www.ebay.co.uk auctions....and some Ebay Shops.

    And yeah, Lik-sang too ^_^

    I get most from ebay.co.uk (Dutch one is a joke when it comes to imports), although I bought a fair bit from other board members, and sometimes I buy them in stores too - there's not many 'real' stores in this area that sell Saturn /DC/PS imports though :smt009

    bought a few PAL and US DC games from Ebay but apart from that I just buy from the local shops. THere is a cool french site that had some Japanese DC games cheaper than I could buy them here. I'll see if I can find the URL again.

  13. I suppose ebay.com almost doesn't need to be said anymore, as well as the ever-reliable Lik-Sang. I've done a fair amount of purchases and trades with a growing number of members here, as well. As far as webstores go, I must say that I'm very satisfied with www.videogamedepot.com. Their selection isn't steller, but they will keep an eye out for things, their shipping is extra speedy, and their service is top notch. I'm also a fan of NCSX, and am working up the courage to order something from Game Choice Club - I know that everyone who's dealt with them has said they're excellent, but it just makes me balk at the idea of ordering from a website written in poorly translated English...

    Does Lik-Sang still give out bumper stickers? I have one that I don't really want.

    I usually get all of my import games from a local import store called Network Video.
