Finding a good Console

ask around people you know, see if they have anything they don't want anymore.

you can also look around for an independently owned game store, that's wherei buy most of my stuff.

Hey everyone, I was wondering where the best place to find a good Console/Handheld so I can look back on some good times. I don't really want to use Ebay, so can anyone tell me where I could find a SNES, an N64, or another good console like that.NALDOxCORE

Check the newspaper.

Nintendo Repair Shop is where I recently got new controllers, zapper, a cleaning kit, and a new 72-pin connector for my NES.

They sell NES, SNES, Genesis/Master System, N64, GameCube and Gameboy games/accessories/systems. The prices really aren't that bad, considering the quality of the controllers I got. (They were very responsive, same shape/feel as the originals, and even had around 10-foot cables, so I could sit back farther)

Just in case: www.nintendorepairshop.com

When I was on holdiay in Paris, France there were a lot of retro game shops, if you google for retro games hops and enter a certain area you can find a few great shops, it always worked for me.
I'd recommend shops over the internet anytime.

I always wanted to buy a Sega Saturn or Dreamcast though the games are hard to find they are both great consoles.
There are still coming out some great shoot 'em ups for the Dreamcast every year.
