I was wondering, what is the best site for buying Australian used games?

I can find some decent priced US sites, but thats twice our dollar plus a shit load of postage and handling.

Anyone?

Used to be twice our dollar. At the moment it's only 25% higher. So US$40 = A$50

Thanks A lot. I tried that Ebay, but the bidding takes to long to go through, and I'm not sure how much I trust people with my credit card info.

I'll try that other site in a bit.

who says you have to give people your credit card details?

If using ebay and bidding within Australia then you direct deposit or send them a money order.

Also bidding doesnt take too long. Log on, check the link for going going going or ending today and you can see what items are ending within the next 24 hours (which is actually generally less time then it takes to sort out a deal on a gaming sites) and you may win the item.

But a few aussie websites where I see games traded are:

atari.com.au (go to forums)
gamebiz.com.au (again use forums)
xboxworld.com.au (again forums but xbox and pc games only)
this forum

if you want worldwide, then the best person to person site I have found is

gametz.com (but generally the games offered are US NTSC copies)

Hmm...I'm at that site, but the money makes no sense. How much Australian dollars to a HK?

That's what currency convertors are for.
