purchasing video games for library collections

[Susy Moorhead]

Hi. I am hoping you may have suggestions of sellers of video games. Our system has been ordering from Baker & Taylor. About 70% of the time our orders are cancelled even if items show in stock. Other times we buy used games at Game Stop. This is difficult as we cannot spend more than $100 in order to be reimbursed. I had hoped to use Best Buy but I am told it is not worth it to them to sell a small quantity of each title. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You might have already talked to this section, but Best Buy has a
government and educational section you might be able to contact. I
ordered DDR from them last year with a grant I had. The games weren't
discounted though. I also recall that while the pads, ps2s,
controllers and memory cards arrived three days later, I was waiting
on the game discs and Microsoft Publisher CD for well over a month
which might be something to consider.

I just order from Amazon - although the new games usually aren't discounted, their service is quick and hassle-free, and it's easy to order enough to get free shipping.
