Just thought I'd share....

There is an online game store called eStarland.com.  Pretty big used game warehouse that has a pretty decent selection of used games.  Anyway, they are having a sale right now where used games are 25% off if you buy 3 or more and ground shipping is free over $20.  There is a max discount of $50, so any orders over $200 are going to be capped.  My advice?  Break it up into multiple orders.

To get the discount, you MUST use the code:  SPRINGSTAR .  You can input this in your shopping cart screen.  They do ship internationally, but I don't know where or how far.
Promo code is good until May 4th.  If it is limit one per username, just sign in as a guest for a second order.  Although since this is displayed at the top of their main webpage, I doubt it's a one time use deal.  Their selection isn't bad overall, prices range from decent to a little high (and once in a while to downright theft...Earthbound for over $260) but with the 25% some are great.  

Here is the site:

Promo code SPRINGSTAR

...also, if this is against the rules to post here, apologies.  This is a legit store and these are all released copies of games with no repros, so I assumed it would be fine to post.

Thank you! Going to get a lot of games. I think I read on their website that they have high quality control, so used games like NES, SNES won't have label damage or yellow. Can any of you who have experience with them, confirm or deny?

I would also like to know about this before I go for it.  Anyone?

They're pretty good.  Stuff is NOT perfect, but pretty damn close for used.  I have never found a label that is torn off, or missing lots of pieces, extra stickers, etc.  Once in a while a label is fading, or starting to come unglued, but that's about it.

Also, their cases are in good shape as well.  They spend a lot of time cleaning/testing their stuff and making sure it's presentable.  NES and SNES shells are always in very good condition.  
I've spent a lot of time in their warehouse (which is realy close to my house and they just let people shop in there) and can attest 95% is in top condition.  If not, it is usually noted, saying no manual, no case etc when there is one, just in shitty condition.  

I have been buying from them for years, and while I cannot guarantee quality, I can report that I have always received top end stuff.

Thanks rkoredux

Did some research, people at Cheapassgamer confirm they are nazi's went it comes to quality. But like Rk says, you might have small flaws slip in or so. No guarantees in life.

Hope these help.  What you see on the showcase floor ARE the actual items shipped to you.

Here's an update:

You CAN make multiple purchases and use the discount each time, so long as you meet the criteria.  Just ordered my third batch of games.

It's also good on new-er stuff, as one of my items was DMC.  Some of the new new stuff like Injustice or Bioshock Inf. they don't have used yet, but if you do find one, the deal is good on that stuff too.  For my latest purchase, I bought DMC and two $1.50 genesis games for their cases and still got the discount.

They got some good prices for NES games, but atrocious for SNES.  $60 for Secret of Mana and Super Metroid lol

I got TMNT, Rad Racer, and Mario/Duck Hunt for NES, and Manhunt 2 for PS2, all for what I consider a decent price.

I may have overpaid a little for Mike Tyson's Punch Out, but I've been wanting it for a long time now and I can't find it for cheaper so I ordered it anyway.

I checked every single game on my 'want to have' SNES list and my jaw hurts from hitting the floor several times. Fuck, SNES is so expensive now.

Thanks for the link and code.

SNES = "omg best console ever " which I hate to say I agree  hence price spikes lol
