Is there a reputable retailer of retro handhelds that's in the USA? I would like to support local USA businesses and have quicker shipping.

Best bet is probably shopping local. There’s a couple retro gaming places near me

I'll look into that

If you want to support a US company, buy a Steamdeck and do retro emulation on there. The device components and whatnot are still going to be of mixed international origin.

Thanks but I don't like Steam and want to play on an old school retro styled device.

I've had decent experiences with Lukie Games online over the years. They almost never have good sales though. So it's not a cheap place, but you know exactly what you're getting.

Otherwise I get picky on eBay with a lot of filters for things like location of item and watch items until sellers offer me a discount.
