Etsy.com (bump thread)
I never thought of them for buying retro games. I've got some boxed games for really cheap before. Worth a shot unless I'm late to the game and this is old news to NA'rs.
Here are some I just found on the front page searching "NES".

I don't agree with that. "Mario's Time Machine" is going for $30 on Etsy. That way below eBay's avg of $50+
"Mike Tysons Punch Out!" complete is also better than eBay in most cases.
Looks like "Puggsly's Scavenger Hunt" and "Mario's Time Machine" sold because of this thread. It's missing.

This one was pretty good

For the most part, I agree, though. Some stuff is actually overpriced. I picked up that Pugsley/Addams family combo, probably saved $20 or so. Not a deal of the century, but I can't complain.

I didn't do a super extensive search, I just said I did a browse. I wasn't really looking to get anything, however you're right about a few good ones on there that I may have overlooked or that didn't appear in my search due to terms used. Doesn't change the fact that 95% of the stuff I saw were bottom-barrel NES titles that are above value (some are over $3-5 than eBay prices).

I got Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt, Addams Family, Felix the Cat, and Popeye for $40 shipped here! Not much I notice beyond that, but this is still a good sneaky resource for sure.
Yeah I regret starting this thread now

The purchase I made was the Mario's time machine. It just arrived today and looks brand new. Was definitely a good purchase. Thanks again for the link.

I'd pick it up but don't have the funds right now. DW2 is selling for double this on the bay, easy.
EDIT: This is now sold. Hope someone from here scooped it up!
