Where is the best place on the internet to buy 3DO games?...

I'm not a collector, and I'm finding it to be very difficult to get 3DO games that only have the disc and instructions, which is all I need-not the huge long boxes. Any suggestions would be welcome!

its been so long since ive bought something that didnt come off ebay, but back in the early 2000s i was visiting these places before i got on ebay

http://www.goatstore.com/ - very good guy and a member at atariage

http://www.collectorscardsandgames.com/ - this guy has so much stuff you have to email him a list of what you want and he will reply with what he has available (this was back in 2001 to 2004 maybe its different now)

http://www.gooddealgames.com/ForSale.html - bought a shitload of stuff from him mostly CDi stuff

there was also a place called 4jays.net but it doesnt look like they carry 3do items anymore
Ex-3DO collector extraordinaire , but i still have my collection
Villagephotos is dead, need to find my old pics and find another host

http://www.estarland.com/ has quite a few. Their prices aren't very good on 3DO stuff for the most part. You do get free shipping on orders over $25 though.

Collectors Cards and Games is good, too. Like stated above, he will have to validate whether he actually has them though. Prices are decent however. I've ordered some CD-i and Intellivision titles from him in the last year or so.

Good Deal Games, IIRC, they don't have much for sale anymore. Haven't personally checked out the GoatStore in a long time either so I can't vouch for them.

Thanks for the link! estarland's prices are a LOT lower then those on Ebay.

Its worth noting that even though complete games w/boxes & such do tend to cost more, this isn't always the case ... I've found certain loose games that actually had a higher asking price than complete versions! Collector or not, don't limit your search.

I've bought from all the places listed (except estarland) and recall pretty good experiences w/them.
Most wanted - Eye of Typhoon, 3DO Magazines issues #14 & #15, Pro Stadium, Defcon 5

Yeah, it depends.. I purchased a Primal Rage on eBay for about $6 after shipping a month or so back. Traded it in to Starland for the same as I paid for it (they are local for me). They are charging $21 for it now. No box..
