Name your best game purchasing experience...

We always enjoy flaming scammers, thieves, and retail stores, but how about praising the good guys? What was the best transaction you had in gaming? This includes stores, online, ebay, GTZ, and of course, Trade Depot!

I'd have to say that mine is a tie between Trade Depot and Mcvans. Everyone I've ever dealt with here (007Bond, Undead king, Sqoon, Rick, Hayato42, among others) have always come through with flying colors. We have to have one of the largest groups of honest traders on the 'net. I'm sure there have been some shady people around (there always are), but overall, I'm very happy with the people here.

Mcvans has always offered me great service. They hold items until your payment arrives, even if it's the last one in stock. They're very polite over the phone, and they pack things nicely. I've always come away very satisfied from dealing with them.

www.wolfgames.com Matt is the best seller I've dealt with.

George Palamara- used to run a page for PC Engine items, offered great service and threw freebies in with purchases quite often.

Robert Otis- Turbo List

A few years back I dealt with a gentleman who was getting rid of some PCE strategy games. I bought Macross Eternal Love Song off him, and he threw in Neo Nectaris and Vasteel 2 with the game just to be rid of them.

Neo, the link doesn't work!

I've heard a lot of good things about Matt, but have never bought from him.

My bad, had a comma in there. *-neo

they're 15 minutes away from my house. it's tradition that we go every tuesday. that store rocks.

my stores would easily have to be GameForce, GameDude, and JapanVideoGames.

I bought Sonic Adventure 2 from EB the day it came out. I was first in the store even(I love me some Sonic). But I didnt get my special 10th anniversary special package thingy. I didnt think much of it, I assumed it was a special deal for only certain stores or some such thing. Anyway, about a month later I was talking to one of the employees there, and that came up, and I mentioned that I had bought SA2 there, and that I didnt get it. He said, "Hold on a minute, lemme see if we have one in the back.". Sure enough, he had one, and just gave it to me. One of the employees could have taken it home, or they could have givin it to someone else, or he could have just not cared enough to look. I just thought that was pretty cool.

Friends are always a plus. I remember that back in the day around when Ps1 first came out. My friend traded me 5 games for my copy of Twisted Metal 2. I was like yeah no problem. I had molested the shit out of the game anyway and I have 5 new titles. When deal with friends, especially if you have the geeky one that looks up to you :) You can get some nice deals.

Well, I buy alot of games on Ebay, and most of the time I had a great experiences so far, with both sellers and good deals.

I bought Shadow Hearts and Koudelka for $35 last fall which was a great deal, seller shipped them fast, and I had great time with the games :)

Also got RS last summer on Ebay for $90 and had a great time beating it many times :)

I always get giddy ordering from NCS knowing they're a great company to support and I'll get my stuff within two days...

Other pluses: Getting S&P for $44 on eBay...

Ordering from wolfgames.com is ALWAYS a pleasure.. Love the selection...

Also, finding SS Twin Sticks for $60 (with box) on VGD a month or so ago was pretty pleasant...

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Buyrite is by FAR the place I've had the worst dealings with.

Sometimes they have some insane prices on imports, but its just not worth the gamble imho.

As far as good places:

I've had pretty much good dealings with everyone, with the exception of a couple of places.
