Not sure if this is the right place to post about this so please tell me if I'm wrong for putting it here!
Hey everyone! I was in the King Of Prussia mall (PA) on Saturday just checking out the BOSE store and some other shops when I came across a store called Jay Street Video Games and I decided to check it out. They had some sort of sign to say that they "specialize" in retro video games (but usually when I see that kind of claim it turns out to be a store with NES sports games and maybe Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt for like $10 or something overpriced).
Anyways I went in and I was blown away with the selection they had! They had NES, Genesis, SNES, Master System, Game Gear, 32x, Saturn, 3DO, Atari 2600/7800, Dreamcast, Sega CD, and a whole slew of other systems and games.
Notable items there would be a Goldstar 3DO system (first time seeing one in the wild), a NEO GEO system and games, a boxed Killer Instinct variant SNES, and some other rarities/oddities.
Oh and the best part was, the prices weren't insane!
I was looking for a Sega CD game and came across a CIB SoulStar for $22. Considering on eBay it averagely sells for $25-$35 CIB, I happily purchased it and it works like a charm :). This is one of the first times I actually saw a store (let alone one in a major mall) have lower prices than eBay.
If you live in PA, specifically close to the King Of Prussia mall, then I suggest you check out this store.
The store may have nothing on DigitalPress, but for me it is the best local store considering I live much farther from New Jersey.
There are also 2 more locations in Albany, New York according to the store's information, but I haven't got to check them out personally.
Here are some pictures from their Facebook page of the store in King Of Prussia Mall:
