That's basically how I played maybe a hundred or more NES/SNES/Genesis games back in the day. With tradeins I never paid more than $5-10 to get a game, 100x better than renting.

I can't believe this place still exists. I myself haven't set foot in that city in ten years. But yeah, this is a shop in the hood where you sell your stolen shit. They have been selling used games at least as far as I can recall (1990), and was the first place I knew that did that. This was awesome when i was a kid, to get NES/Genesis/SNES games for $10-$20 at the most allowed me to play a lot more games than I would have otherwise. Last time I was there was about 2003 or 4... they still had a big cabinet stacked high with NES games and I bought about 20 then.
