I have recently managed to dig out my old nintendo 64, as well as aquire a dreamcast with minimum loss of life. At the minute I'm scouring ebay for games and controllers, but I was wondering if there are any sites anyone can recommend that specialise in fairly cheap old gaming stuff.

Cheers.

I'm not aware of any sites, but I'm thinking your best bet is to find your local retro/second-hand gameshop.

They're usually cheaper than ebay and you can check the condition of games or hardware before purchasing them i.e. game discs for scratches and such. Not a 100% guarantee of course. The stores I know of let you return faulty stuff with a full refund. I've heard stories about pawn shops as a source for great, sometimes rare finds.

Cheers, I'll have to have a look, though the only thing I can think of near me is CEX and that only seems to go as far back as the PS2.

Amazon is your best bet for old retro stuff.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sega-Dreamcast-Console/dp/B00004U1UT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300307534&sr=8-1

the cheapest is around 30 pounds unboxed.

Not too shabby.

I don't think you can get it cheaper than that.
