Looking to buy classic DOS Games

Hi guys.

I've started collecting a Boxed PC games out of sentiment(I used to play them at my childhood) and at first it was going well, cause I had a huge list and there was always something on ebay to buy from that list.

But the list is shrinking more and more, and more games that are left are rarities. I wanted to ask you if you know any place, or forum where people post their games to sell. Ebay seems not enough anymore.

For instance, I'm looking for Prince of Persia 1989, or Christmas Lemmings 1993, or Lost Vikings. Stuff like that.

Any tips guys?

cheers
Lucas

'Stuff like that' is at least vague .......

Hi dosraider, and thanks for the reply.

I think I zeroed in on the games I look. So PC Games, in BOX. If I had to put time era, should be 1989 - 1995. Condition, as good as possible, but I'm no fool and know that games that old can't be in great condition. Some are, but most aren't. I hope that is clearer

Anyways, thanks a lot for the link. Is it a good forum to look for people who sell their collections, or you just found it on google?

cheers
Lucas

I'm a member on AB, topic just crossed my mind reading yours.

And no, AB is not really a sell/buy forum, they made an exception for Joe Man.

Maybe you should register on amibay or similar?

And Moby has a 'yard sale' subforum as they call it.
