Perhaps prices have increased since then -- I'll need to update these in the near future. Thanks! Actually, the prices I listed did inlude shipping prices as that is a major consideration.

Goodwills still tend to be a good choice as well as some game traders (like Game Crazy here locally). I get some items on EBay but the problem is that there doesn't seem to be a base line for pricing. The same game can sell for $5 or $25. From my experience it would be difficult to get the games in your list for $50 or less on EBay. The price you mention is pretty close but does not consider the Shipping and Handling charges that can double the price.
