[@ThatOldSchoolMagic]

Its up to you if you’d like to give them a chance Riggs but before you do I’d like to share my experience with them. Several months ago I ordered a Basic NES Bundle and opted for an original controller for $175. They had a discount code available at the time if not it would have been around $185+ I think at the time you could find the exact samething for $120-130 on Ebay. A day or two later I got an email describing a sale for certain games. I chose a Wii game that was $15 more than the market price to see what they would send me. When the NES arrived. On the outside it looked decent. Just a few small cracks here and there from the plastic being old and built from that material that Yellows over time. I wanted to open up the NES to take a look inside but at the bottom they put a sticker that Voids the 120 days guarantee if removed. I did take a look through the cartridge slot and it was a little dusty so I wiped it with a clean rag as best I could. The controller didn’t have any sticker on it so I opened that instead and it was disgusting on the inside. There was dirt all around the buttons/D-Pad and behind the Green electrical board. If it was cleaned then only on the outside of the controller. When that Wii game arrived. It included the Case, Manual and Disc but when I looked at the disc it had a number of Scratches on it. I thought they would have at least resurfaced it to make it look clean but Nope. Funny enough about a week later they posted a short on their KZbin channel of Joey resurfacing 4 disc with 4 machines. Just mine didn’t receive that treatment. After these two purchases I was disappointed and never order from them again. I gave them a fair shot regardless of the higher price than the average and to me it wasn’t really worth it.

[@BrettVaa]

The No Mercy cart is so expensive because it's a non-glitched version. Most of the copies of No Mercy had a glitch where it could reset your save data. THQ added a '-1' at the end of the label so you'd know you have a non-glitched version. Because this came out so late in the run, it's a rare copy. It's still overpriced on their site, most of them go for about $300 on the good ol' eBay.

I actually have been inside the E-Starland in VA because my work isnt too far away from there. I stand by their online sales as they are pretty fair. The in-store is pretty cool. I've sold them my games as well and have been pleased overall with what I get back. The place is like a mini-warehouse (not small at all) with a couple of diff sections with even a side space devoted to deals on the weekends. If youre a retro kind of person that likes to wander and peruse then I highly recommend checking it out if youre ever in the Fairfax, VA area.

I typically look at those two, Iceman (Hefty shipping prices/delay=Canada), Sidequest, then lastly DK after sifting through Mercari and Ebay if I can't find something I really want locally at the Video Game Heaven or Old Skool locations. E-Starland has consistently been the cleanest if that factors into your purchasing equation.

[@DigiPen92]

I managed to taken a look at the website, they did showed the price for Tales of Destiny on PS1 at around $480 and Tales of Destiny II (Eternia) around at $350. Those are still way too expensive for me for getting a single game. I did saw some Tales of Destiny I PS1 copies were selling around $99 to $200 and above and also, I did managed to bought Tales of Phantasia GBA copy at $59.99 from a Retro Game Store, but it listed in the website as $99. (That was the most expensive GBA copy I got) Good thing I managed to buy the GBA copy at the Retro Game Store in Oregon in my vacation.

I’ve bought from them a couple times(years ago mind you. Back when old games didn’t cost more than gold bars). Replacing original Gameboy games I regrettably traded back in the day.

The red price is the lowest of offerings for that particular item. So let's say they have multiple versions of a PS1 game. They will have the red price if it was just the game and no case. Game with case. Then two versions of that if it was a greatest hit or not. Complete in box and two versions of that as well. So whichever is the most expensive will be the black price and the red is the cheapest of the selection.

[@leeokami22]

Dkoldies really benefited off the pandemic. There's countless videos of how their prices aren't just for profit and inflated. The price on systems and some games are so insane.

I don't have enough time in the day the play through all of them, however i don't need to be spending money regularly for me games that don't catch my eye either. I also focus on indie games, because they're more creative than AAA titles or flagship titles anymore. I also do that because i don't have enough space in my house for physical collections and the collections i do have, i find more valuable.

Silent Service for 2 bucks at Sunken Treasures in Richland. Yay!

[@Ultimategc13]

Their prices are high. Lots of games out of stock. Nothing against them or anything. It seems like alot of people are personally upset here though lol. However, I have to say John Riggs when I went to down Greenville for the game convention DK Oldies had a game online for PS2 that I couldn’t find at the entire convention or any store I visited in NC , SC, or Florida in September. for $13 and free shipping. I have to give them that credit.

get well bro! love your content

Kind of surprised. Some prices are fair and even low. As much as Reddit talks smack about them I figured they'd be like Ticketmaster or something.

[@owlbelieveit6811]

I think I bought one game from them that was a lower price than most places I checked (Ren and Stimpy Fire Dogs for SNES, yes I think its a decent game regardless of its rep), otherwise they're hit and miss in the price department. I have bought power cords and adapters through them, which they've worked for a few years now so I can't complain as they sell those reasonable. Some stuff I'd go local, some stuff I buy from them. It just depends.

Pokémon White 2 for almost $300 though? Wtf

[@megadan2988]

I ordered from them once from The Netherlands. It was reliable. I went for some Turbografx games.

Prices on NES games have shot down recently. These prices are nuts.

[@GamersAtticshow]

The lower price that they have on special sometimes its for their cosmetically flawed copy .

[@cubanman2009]

And this is one of the reasons for inflation on retro consoles 😡people like them

[@IRMacGuyver]

I was hoping to see some deals but holy crap these prices are out there.

[@tonycoffee7335]

I have ordered from them. I do like how you can order "cosmetic flawed" to save money on a game I just want.

Got here quickly.
