Myself and four friends are taking a roadtrip, leaving this Friday from Connecticut. We will be travelling through a bunch of big cities along the East Coast. I was wondering if there are any tucked-away places where I could find retrogames. The cities I will be travelling through are as follows:
Baltimore, MD
Washington D.C.
Richmond, VA
Durham, NC
Charlotte, NC
Columbia, SC
Savannah, GA
Charleston, SC
Myrtle Beach, NC
Fayetteville, NC
Thanks to any who can help a fellow collector out.

Hey I lived in Columbia, SC for a few months and there's supposedly this trading place at Five Points (don't know the name of the place exactly) where the dude trades almost anything, from records to games to pets (seriously). Might be worth checking out. In Charleston you have the "slaves market" (politically incorrect as hell I guess) but it's essentially a flea market now. If you go the malls in Columbia just head for Columbiana mall and skip on Dutch Square Center (I think that's the name) as it only has an EB and the rest of the mall sucks. Columbiana has a Gamestop and there's a strip-mall Gamestop down the road as well near the Circuit City. Good luck!

There's a chain of stores called The CD/Game exchange in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area. Ive been to most of the stores in Portland, OR, so hopefully the ones in Baltimore/D.C. are as good! They have a lot of good deals on games used and new... everything from Atari 2600 to NES to the current systems. I got this list of locations in the Baltimore / Washington D.C. area off of their website (http://www.cdgameexchange.com), so if you get a chance try those out. Good luck!
