Default WTB: Nintendo (NES) games

Looking to start up my vintage gaming collection. Looking for any/all Nintendo NES games. Box/Manual not necessary. eBay is most likely the cheapest option, but would prefer something local (Lethbridge/Calgary).

Thanks!

Some honest advice for you: the market for retro gaming is difficult in Calgary. You've got the shops selling games at a markup, and you've got people who regularly scour the pawn shops for anything worth buying. Even the pawn shops know to markup the rarer games a significant amount. If you're looking for some crappy games just to fill your collection count, then you can look at these places though.

I would suggest first contacting CP member Kelekin for any specific games you might be interested in, as he manages a large collection of games to sell at conventions and on his website (http://www.newgameplus.ca/). Otherwise I'd start keeping an eye on the regular sellers on ebay for this kind of stuff.

Garage sales are the only place you will find good deals, as a collector myself I can tell you that anyone who is selling these games as a means of business, well, means business and they know that if you are going to them it usually means you can't find what they have anywhere else.

If you are looking for any particular game, I have a lot of doubles that I may be willing to part with, just send me a pm.

I had an NES with about 30 games and somehow during a move 3 years ago, I lost it.
SO ticked.

I know this is a bit of a meaningless post, but if you're looking for a SNES and about 20 games, let me know as I have one which is just collecting dust in my parents basement
