Do you guys ever go to small stores for games?

[Fuzzball24]

I sure do a lot, I go to a place called Streetlight Records where they don't rip you off and all games are in very good condition (games are even marked down if they are in bad condition)! I'm talking about places besides flea markets, Goodwill, and pawn shops, here.

Lol, thanks. I can imagine me browsing these forums is gonna make me collect more and more games. Such little space..:-D

[Barbarianoutkast85]

Little space??? Dont you have an apartment or attic? Do you live along, or with someone? Anyway there is ALWAYS space for videogames. Milkcrates stacked to the ceiling thats the only way I could fit my game collection in my apartment when I lived in East Village, New York City, New York. lol.....Man that place was SMALL, but I paid double what I do now in a friggin' house.

*looks up Streetlight Records*

Hmm, about 1.5 hours away... They have all kinds of games there? Good selection? I'm always looking for places that sell old games, but I've pretty much cleaned out the good deals I'm interested in in my area.

Also, welcome.

I do go to small stores.. if there would be any around here :s
the last one which had older games (even 8-bit systems) closed down a few weeks ago.

[suckerpunch5]

man, I go anywhere I think there might possibly, maybe be a video game even if there isn't. I will stop at grocery stores when I'm traveling through small towns just to see if the mom 'n pop place might rent N64 games they'd be willing to sell.

yeah, I definately check small stores!

sometimes small stores are better. You may run into finding stuff like Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 for like $20-30, or newer used games for a little more than $5 off retail value. I go to this place called 'Bullnose Records'. They have atari 2600 up to PS3. I found a Castlevania: SOTN there for $10, along with pocket fighter for PS1.

[Technosis]

Yes, I've had nice finds in small places. Usually they are stores that most people would never know had video games. A local bookstore here is a good example. I've got nice stuff like import DC, Ikaruga for the GameCube, Rare genny stuff like Warsong and Shining Force, etc. What was even better is that I could trade in old books and CD's for store credit.

[Chaz From Phantasy Star 2]

Yeah I went to a small store once. Last time I'll ever do that! They didn't have many games. Because they were small.

Let me guess, you asked for Phantasy Star 2, but instead of receiving Phantasy Star IV, you ACTUALLY received Phantasy Star 2. Right?

Yeah, they even have Sega Master games sometimes. I don't know if they sell systems or not. Games aren't too bad priced, though compared to flea markets it might. 6 dollars for a black label GT2 isn't bad in my opinion (or atleast around here).

Well considering I am a small store, Id say I visit one every day...
