Craigslist is a huge resource for me, as well as the auctions that rarely come by in NE. I also have a 'friend' that looks out for a few for me.
 
Let's see... of my current collection, here's the breakdown.

4 games from local auctions (Mousetrap, Warp Warp, Millipede, Choplifter)
3 from operators (Warlords, Bump N Jump, Arkanoid 2/Goindol)
1 from a KLOV contact (Ms.PacMan)
1 from Craig's List (Galaxian)
1 from Ebay (Crystal Castles)
1 from a homeowner (Donkey Kong Jr.)
1 was a gift from a friend (Track & Field)

I also had a $20.00 game years ago - a Carnival that played blind from a thrift store. Swapped in a replacement monitor and it worked great. Sold it four years later for $300.00!

Some good games but they seem to me pretty pricey. Anybody else think they are asking to much?
 
way too pricey.

I have the luxury of living an hour from a regular auction spot and I usually get some great deals but this weekend i will finally try my hand at a craigslist purchase.

I am getting a 4 player Spiderman cabinet for 150. It's only wird for two players but everything else looks solid. I know that game is not the best but I am a Marvel fanboy and I will eventually get some simpsons, tmnt, battletoads boards for it as this will be my first 4 player cab.
