Best import sites for people in Europe:
renchi.com (http://www.renchi.com) No personal experience with them.
videogamesplus.ca (http://www.videogamesplus.ca) - always marks the package worth as less than 200 NOK
play.com (http://www.play.com) - Nice prices, free shipping.
Movietyme (http://www.Movietyme.com) No personal experience with them.
www.tronixweb.com No personal experience with them.


Import games for people in the US:
NCSX (http://www.ncsx.com/) Sascha: Ive had experience with NCSX, and had no complaints.
Play-Asia.com (http://www.play-asia.com) New Guy: i bought JUS from Play Asia, its a very, very good game, good transaction.

Tanooki: I find they have good pricing and cheap shipping, especially when you consider their ever rotating items of choice to hit the bargain bin that week. A couple years ago I got F-Zero Climax (GBA) which was a $50 game for $30 + ship, and ship from overseas stunned me as it was $3 and I had it in 10days. They have a ton of variety and when you can raid the bargain bin it's unmatched. That discount I got removed the criminal 'import tax' $20 boost over retail value stateside and the ship was like paying state taxes so it was a painless buy.

yesasia.com (http://www.yesasia.com) No personal experience with them.
japanvideogames.com (http://www.japanvideogames.com) No personal experience with them.
http://www.gameyeeeah.com Sascha: Ive also used gameyeeeah.com a few times for niche accessories like Wii/PS3 VGA cables. They also have some weird DS stuff. Ive had no problems but some people have gone through nightmarish scenarios with them.

Importing from the UK, to the US:
play.co.uk (http://www.play.co.uk) No personal experience with them.
http://www.gameplay.co.uk No personal experience with them.
http://www.itsagamething.co.uk/ No personal experience with them.
http://www.choicesuk.com/ No personal experience with them.
http://www.sendit.com/ No personal experience with them.


Trading sites:
bytteklubben.no (http://www.bytteklubben.no) - for Norway only. Pay 50 NOK to let them do a check if the games work or not.
infinitecontinues.com (http://www.infinitecontinues.com) - Seems to be only for the UK.No personal experience with them.

I'd like to get some comments or other suggestions from you all, these are links I've gathered from other messageboards.

I have some people on eBay I buy from. Shipping gets here in 3 days. Talk about made of win.

New Guy, Tanooki: Much appreciated!

Gingerbread man: As far as I know, they do not exist anymore? What do you mean?

That's why he posted it with the grin because those bastards at Sony went after them for something that technically wasn't even illegal and just used a large flock of corporate lawyers to force them out of business. Back when I was at Midway we had an account with them and ordered stuff in mass off and on...everything from accessories to flash kits as they were cheaper for on the go testing than the pricey official stuff.
