Forget GameStop or Electronic Boutique. I mean, seriously, even their discounted prices are ridiculous. For the avid gamer, it's imperative to learn where to get you video games at an extremely discounted price. We all know that playing video games can add up quick on the credit card statement, especially if you're the type that can beat a video game in a matter of days. The three best places I've found to purchase cheap video games at are at flee markets, on eBay, and on Amazon.
Flee markets are hit and miss. Sometimes you can find great deals, but sometimes you feel like you might as well be shopping GameStop's used video game section. If you can find a specific outlet for cheap video games at a flee market though, you've struck gold. Like they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. Sometimes you'll be able to find that rare jewel with an unbelievable price tag because the seller just wants to get rid of it.
EBay is another great place to find video games at a discounted price. The name of the eBay game is bargain, and everyone on there is trying to get what they want at the cheapest price possible. Naturally, this drives prices waaay down as sellers compete for buyers. Whether you decide to "Buy Now" or bid, there's a pretty good chance you'll be able to find your video game fix at a cheaper price than any retailer in town.
Amazon is very similar to eBay, minus the being able to bid on games. In fact, at the time that this article was written, Amazon's prices were so low that they've given eBay some hefty competition. You can find video games on Amazon for insanely low prices sometimes, even as low as $0.99. Plus, the selection is amazing and it's much easier to find what you want than with all other options listed above.
If you're shopping at home for cheap video games, I recommend comparing prices between Amazon and eBay. I can guarantee that you won't find games cheaper anywhere online unless you're dealing directly with a wholesaler. The website that will have the cheaper game is usually half and half. Sometimes that best way to get a steal on eBay is by bidding, but if you don't feel like waiting to get your video game fix then I'd definitely recommend Amazon instead. If you just can't wait for a game to ship to you, check out your local flee market. You never know what gems you might find.
