Default Where to buy rare classic videogame repair parts?

I'm looking for all kinds of rare repair stuff for retro Nintendo and
Sega systems. Parts like:

Screws used in controllers and systems
NES Styrofoams for boxes
SNES Cardboard inserts for boxes
Replacement buttons for official controllers
Fix-A-Pad and Fix-A-System kits (Doc's)
Cartridge bags (NES, SNES..)
+ everything i didn't think of

If you have these or know where I could get some, please reply or mail me.

Thanks.

Ebay is the best place I've found for this stuff, swap meets occasionally
have bits and pieces too.

Old Nintendo and Sega stuff is far from rare. Try flea markets, swap meets,
garage sales, etc. Tons of this stuff exists for little money...

That's mostly arcade games though, not a lot of that applies to consoles.
