Hey all,
I just launched my first company, GameFarmer.com.
GameFarmer has been my pet project since September of last year. I got the idea after realizing that I need to quickly build my old game collection which was ruined in a fire. The catch was, I didn't have any money. Therefore I wrote a few c and perl programs and started collecting price data on gameboy, nes, and snes games.
Later on, I heard about the GameBoy Player and I thought to myself, "wouldn't it be cool to launch a service so people could buy gameboy, gameboy color, and gba games at the lowest price". That idea soon spiraled into what is now GameFarmer. The site just launched today and I will be adding new retailers in the coming week or two. I'm up for all comments, feedback, suggestions, etc. I hope you all find it to be a useful service and I look forward to improving it in the weeks, months, and years to come.

I was gonna buy a game, but how exactly do you make money. It mostly has links to the other sites.

Congrats chad, good luck on your website. I just saw it, its really cool. I like the fact that you show the pics of the game covers and compare prices. Yeah, I saw the Game Boy Player too. I plan on getting it as soon as I can, so I can play the extreme ghostbusters game boy advance game on the TV.

I still think Grace should make drawings of the chicken selling it's underage body. Like the Madster (formerly Aimster) girl.

Chad doesn't actually sell the stuff does he? I thought it was links to the online stores with the best prices on new and preowned games, so you'd want to check with them for shipping

Congrats mate ,
It's a great site, looks good, but my only question: "How about non-US citizens?" Are we allowed to buy anything and how about the payment options for Europe?
Anyways, cool site

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I'm just guessing... but maybe Chad doesn't intend on making money off of it, just providing a helpfull service for gamers just because he wants to. There are other goals and intentions in this world for doing something besides making money. Sometimes it's just because someone wants to make a positive difference in a community.
