You guys if i am still working on collecting stuff that i love and collecting stuff that i like which is better place to shop at and help me with my collection plus yes collecting my favorite/my all time favorite PS1 games too and others is amazon or Google shopping better?

If not please give me your suggestions and if i get a chance to either get amazon or PayPal gift cards thanks and i was curios of a good place to shop at and don't worry I'm open to any suggestions and yes i have a swagbucks account too thanks again everyone :).
 
If you're asking for suggestions on where to find game-specific collector's items, I would look at comic book stores, antique/thrift stores, or gaming stores that don't ONLY sell video games. Most comic book shops around my hometown sell various gaming memorabilia and the like.

If you're asking where to buy old games, your best bet would be Amazon or eBay. Most gaming stores, like GameStop, don't sell games for outdated systems. You'd be lucky to find a Gameboy Advance game in GameStop these days. Definitely no SNES or PS1 games, though.

The oldest they have is probably PS2, last time I checked.

i love your sig that looks awesome and i liked what it said
 
Flea Markets/Yard Sales are the best places to look for old games. Sure, you may have to travel to a bunch of them to find something you like, but it can be well worth the trip sometimes. I've seen original copies of Tactics Ogre for PSX at yard sales for $5 (online it can fetch a hefty sum).
 
If you leave in the Midwest, there are stores like Slackers that sells plenty of vintage video games, comics, music, movies, and toys. I remember the good old days when GameStop sold old games, too.
 
Yeah, I don't get why age needs to cause games to be more expensive, the majority aren't even that old, much less rare. There used to be a shop near me that sold PS1 games but that went out of business so now the oldest I can still get is PS2.
 
i can understand why it doesn't cost about £1, because it's a downright gaming classic, but it's the second highest selling ps1 game of all time so it's not exactly rare enough to warrant that much. i paid £20 for it when it was brand new!
 
Yeah, when I used to be able to buy PS1 games in any game shop they were normally in the £15 area and yet on ebay i've seen them as high as £120, in the majority of cases the expensive rule seems to apply to the more popular or 'ahead of it's time' type games. Some PS1 games I can find dirt cheap because they aren't as hyped like the FF series and Chrono Trigger. Heck, some SNES games i've seen selling for less than £10.
