I am really interested in purchasing the physical copies of Grothendieck's legendary books: EGA, SGA, and FGA. I could not find prices through Amazon or eBay, which makes me to suspect that foreign bookstores will sell them. By any chance, do you know any website that I could order physical copies?

You can buy the whole EGA collection from the IHÉS itself, in form of fascicles (warning: most certainly they only sell the first edition of EGA I, since the second one was produced by another publisher). As explained here, you have to download this form, fill it with your data, circle the books that you want, and then send it to them.
The whole collection costs 229€, plus shipping costs. These can be very expensive: I live in Spain and they wanted to charge 133€ more for shipping, so I didn't buy anything.
As for SGA or FGA, I'm pretty sure you can only find them in the second-hand market. Since there aren't many in circulation, they're usually really expensive.
