Noble Knight Games is the store to check when a game is out of print. Since 1997 it has run a buy, sell and trade model from Fitchburg, Wisconsin, and its about page says the catalog includes more than 300,000 unique products available for immediate shipment, with no placeholder listings for stock it does not have. Used items get a hands-on inspection and a grade under a published grading system, which matters when you are paying for a rare boxed game. If a title is not in stock, want lists and item alerts tell you when one comes in from a collection. Shipping is reasonable: Noble Knight Flat Rate never exceeds $9.95 in the contiguous US, and orders of $149 or more ship free on standard economy service. The tradeoffs are a busy catalog that is slower to browse than a mainstream store and economy delivery that can take up to 21 days in some areas.
