didnt know where to put this, so i put it here. no im not talking about memory cards im talking about tcgs or trading card games, ive always been interested in trading cards and always like to collect and have starter decks from different card games. what i want to know is if anyone knows of some sites online that sell em for cheap? like a site similar to dealextreme but for trading cards? (when i say trading cards i mean like yugioh, pokemon, chaotic, bleach, naruto etc, not sports cards) any sites that sell em for cheap like $5-10 for a starter deck or something would be great and low or free shipping, and no suggesting amazon or ebay (unless you know a certain seller who sells them for cheap) as i know about them already lol

I could sell you a whole BOX of Marvel's Overpower TCG if you want. Not that you'll ever find another human being who also owns them.

I know a guy who had a store where he sold these...  let me tell you, there's not a whole lot of markup at the prices you see them normally.  You're not going to find a "budget" place unless they're fake.  They make money on volume only... like, say, a case costs $100 and they sell them all for $110.  However they sell several cases of each brand every week.  They are, essentially, just a trick to get kids into the store so they'll buy something that's actually valuable.

well i know some sites sell them for cheap, mostly older series that arent as popular, like the megaman tcg and zatch bell and other anime based tcgs, i know current tcgs that are still popular wont be much cheaper.

i found one site that looks great, its called stop2shop.com has boosters for older sets as low as $ .25 the only catch is a minimum purchase of $30. has anyone heard of these guys or experienced them?

Ummmm, this isn't a joke post or anything, but kids are the answer.  XD

Go to Collector's Den or somewhere where they host tournaments, trade with kids, best way to get cheap cards (and make money).  Although I guess it would have to be somewhat popular.  Good old YuGiOh   :smitten:
