There was one at the mall I used to go to, I just checked to see if it’s still around. When I went to it during the mid 2000s it had used games and a lot of figures from anime and visual novels. Going by their Facebook it looks like they sell less videogames and are more into selling figurines and tcg stuff now.

About two years ago. I took in a bunch of old stuff I don't actually use anymore to give it a new home and clear some space in mine. It went quite well, I made a little under $1200 which I'm sure I could gave got more on selling through ebay but it was worth the convenience and it was a fun trip.

Every ma n pop store that has survived this long that I have been to does the same shit. They sell new stuff. The compare prices to everyone else (ebay/amazon/etc), ignores quality of the thing they are selling or what customers want. They sell mostly to 100% ignorant people (parents or people wanting nostalgia that refuse to do any research) or those collectors that have just enough money to pay more to "help out my friendly local store".

All of them sell games a few days early for new releases. All of them sell slightly below MSRP for brand new stuff as well to out do things like 5% back at BBY or Amazon (though most couldn't compete with the Gamers Club).

All of the strictly /vr/ stores are extinct because these stores always sell the "next generation" shortly after it is the current generation.

There is a large near me. The prices are better than some but not great. I guess you would call it paying for convenience.

About a month ago.

I spend more time in thrift stores and general purpose pawn shops, because while the /vr/ stores may have more gaming stuff, in them they also know a lot more about what it's actually worth to people.

Prices are frequently more than double would you'd pay in more generalised stores.

Case in point, I saw a SCPH-1001 in the pawn shop, bought it for $20. Walked literally 50 yards down the road, sold it the retro gaming store for $30. They'll sell it to some schmuck for $50+

About a year ago. Absolute dog shit. Luckily they went out of business 6 months ago.

EBay prices for torn labels, bad selection and the doucheiest unwashed basement dweller owner. He had furry art of him and his girlfriend playing video games on a couch as dragon furries. Pic related I can't make this shit up.

Also would say he had something you asked about and it was in the back room or in his car for a convention then he would never bring it to the store. This is after you said you would buy it, and he agreed to have it ready the next day. Also he had an unemployed crew who haunted thrift stores and garage sales and such, killing any chance of finding stuff in the wild.

I modded my stock dc controller to take a white aftermarket ps4 stick. Works fucking wonderfully.

The mall has one that’s run by some 2nd- or 3rd-generation vague Eastern European manchildren. The reason I call them manchildren is because I actually had to call one of them once as part of my own job and found out their parents still manage their basic life affairs — this is unrelated to the topic, but I found it amusing. The store itself is pretty much what you’d expect. There isn’t anything exceedingly rare in there, and all the middle of the road retro and other nerd-curio type things aren’t any better price-wise than anywhere else, so there’s just really no reason to ever step foot in a place like that except if you really just like to window shop.

No such thing here, but there's a store that sells quite a lot of /vr/ stuff, just it's maybe 30% of what they sell. They also sell used smartphones and mostly modern games.

My town has a somewhat different, and possibly less depressing, spin on retro gaming, in the form of an 80’s themed arcade bar.
All of the arcade cabinets are from the 70’s through 80’s, the only newer games being one VR chamber which appears to get swapped out from time to time, a 4-player PacMan table, and some of the racing games (one MarioKart vs Namco and one motorcycle street-racer from the 90’s).

A few of the cabinets will have faulty joysticks or sticking buttons from time to time, but they seem to do a pretty good job of having them serviced whenever the need arises.

Seriously, if you want to take a less depressing nostalgia trip where people actually /enjoy/ their work, see if you can find a decent retro bar.

They got you covered if you are interested in Retrons, Retrobit systems, @games, and controllers from 8bitdo/Cirka/Retrolink. Wall to wall Madden, FIFA, NBA, and baseball titles. Shelves of 2600 games only $3 a game. Buckets full of Guitar Hero controllers and Wii balance boards guaranteed to have been stored next to GameStop employee toilets.

Good friend of mine owns a business like this and tells me that they pretty much survive on Funko Pops, tcgs, and ignorant kids willing to pay way too much for Nintendo carts without doing any research.

If anyone wonders why finds in the wild have dried up, he actually has a group of lackies he sends out before the sun comes up to ask people if they can pick through their stuff while they're still setting up for yard sales/flea market. The great thing for him is that he's got these kids doing this in exchange for a few packs of Pokemon cards or whatever.

There are few of them in my town. They're not exclusively selling vidya, but also movies, comics, books, vinyl records, trading cards, and all the usual hobby collecting things. Some of them have the nerve to still hold on to those retarded meme prices for retro games. As if something being on Super Nintendo means it's automatically worth gold. They should hand out those sports games as freebies with every purchase; buy one game, any game, and get five Madden's with you for free.
Only the PC games are reasonably priced these days. No one wants them except the extreme giganerds. You can literally get all the classics, big box edition, complete in box, for 10-20 bucks each. Simple game cart and game manual combo on SNES, no matter what game, is easily two-three times more expensive than the best of the best used PC game. I just don't understand it.

2 years ago. There is literally only one in the entire country, 200km away from where I live. They had a handful of JP SNES games, so that's something, I guess.

About 2 years ago. They went from having a huge store to a small hole in the wall in hardly any time, and the original owner that I got to know stopped running it altogether. They had less retro games and more DVDs, and when I said "wow this store sure has changed," the lady at the counter told me they were planning on turning it into full on pawn shop "for the community." It's sad because they used to be the least money grubbing retro shop in town.

Never been to an actual Retro store, but I went to a comics shop one time that sold retro games and they had a copy of Megaman Anniversary Collection for GC in a case asking for $120. I chuckled and bought the PS2 version new for $15 off Amazon. They also had other meme shit like a boxed copy of OoT for $~300

You're really gonna charge this much?

Yesterday.
It was pretty lame. This particular store has probably the worst selection of any of the stores near me. I only keep going there because it's an excuse to go on a long drive and just chill out for a while.
There's a store at a mall closer to me that I really enjoy going to, they have a decent selection, even got a couple of PC-FX and AES games.

A few weeks ago. I sold my N64 and games and really strong armed the liberal cuck owner into giving me basically 125% over average eBay prices.

Conservacucks are so easy to swindle out of their few pennies they have. That's probably why they're always so poor.

Few months ago. There's a popular "record exchange" type of store near my house that mostly specializes in music but has a really incredible selection of retro vidya. Blows my mind how much some N64 games sell for now. If only I would have known.

>So jaded to politics and so inexperienced with social interactions they think the conservative store owner was liberal

This is funny. Liberals know how to price games and kick retards like you out when you attempt to jew them like a rePubelicken.

They probably weren't his personal thing. They were shit his parent bought him years ago that they'd been asking him for years to get rid of. After he went off to collage, on their dime, and failed to make progress on his degree in ethnic gay womens studies they decided they'd had enough of wasting an entire room on a worthless shit who wasn't even using it and got rid of a bunch of old shit they'd bought him that he'd been hording for years.

week ago, I've bought ps2 a/c cable ( white :^)) for 5 slavaridos (~ 1.5$) and Dynasty Warriors 4 for 29 s. (~8.5$). I'm happy about both, since I could eventually run my ps2 for first time (bought w/o knowing if it's working or not for ~8$).

Not entirely true. My mom is compulsive and has a history of giving all of my family’s stuff away without asking. It’s been the cause of a few rows growing up.
She’d even give my shit to an annoying neighbor kid that would charge me to get it back. Little fucker.

They DID get me that nomad, so you’re right. But that was the only console I ever owned (pc gaming was way cooler when I was growing up) so it was kind of sentimental. Oh well.
