Do game stores such as Gamestop carry any of the old Elder Scrolls games like Arena, Redguard, Daggerfall, Battlespire, etc.?

No, too old - best bet is to try Ebay

Some might have extremely old copies that they failed to sell or that someone traded in or something, but that'd be exceedingly rare. You'd be better off looking around at pawn shops or second-hand stores. Some used book stores also carry games, and they tend to have some nice gems.

Okay, thanks. I'll try eBay, since I know of no pawn shops or second-hand stores. Maybe I'll try the book stores too, though I doubt Barnes & Noble or Borders carry the games.

Ebay is probably the easiest place to find them. Though your probably going to have to rummage through your savings a little

Arena is free, though, as it's available on www.elderscrolls.com

Most likely yes.

As far as I know, Daggerfall, for example, is quite (if not very) expensive. Redguard shouldn't be a problem, I've seen many copies sold around the net throughout the years; Battlespire, however, might be a different matter, as I've never seen someone selling it on Ebay.

EDIT: Looks like you're quite lucky. Here's daggerfall sold for $9.99 (only if you don't care about box and manual, it's only the CD): http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Elder-Scrolls-II-Daggerfall-Mint-Condition-PC_W0QQitemZ130236620783QQihZ003QQcategoryZ139973QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

When I picked up an unopened boxed copy of Redguard on Ebay a few years ago, it cost me around $60-70 (can't remember exactly how much). But I got a great game and a copy of the PGE 1st Edition, so I was happy. :)

I'm not very computer-savvy. I tried to download it, but had no idea how to set it up.

I came too late. I guess Elder Scrolls is more popular than I thought. It was bought for thirty one dollars. Oh, well.
