I don't fucking understand. Stores like this are utterly irrelevant if ebay is significantly cheaper, and that's just considering BIN prices rather than playing it smart and getting a good ebay deal by bidding. Why the fuck would I waste my time driving out to a store and digging through random bullshit to *maybe* find something I want WHEN ITS GOING TO COST MORE THAN EBAY ANYWAY? I might as fucking well just go to ebay. How can stores like this even exist if they price gouge? Who the hell is buying anything from them?

>mfw people spend tons of dosh on retro vidya swag but don't bother getting RGB cables, CRTs, upscalers, etc
