You owe it to yourself to patronize that place. The second I saw
an Odyssey 2 on the wall and Epoch's Dracula tabletop inside a glass case I knew I'd found nirvana. Strangely, they didn't have a single Power Glove on the premises X_x

I haven't been there "in person" yet - how are the prices?

I've been there 4 or 5 times in person, and ordered things from them over the phone a couple of times.
In my opinion, they have a lot of amazing, cool stuff. They also tend to have high prices, sometimes getting into ridiculous territory, and usually display a lot of off-putting arrogance.

totally. The guys behind the counter were very obnoxious, and carried this total "I am above you" attitude. The prices can be steep, but most of their goods are in pristine condition and would be difficult to procure elsewhere, even eBay.

I've been there once. They had a nice selection (even bonertastic Saturn VOn sticks), but were priced towards the high end. A lot of imports. A LOT OF IMPORTS.

The prices were terrible last time I went there. Mainly for stupid New Yorkers with more money than time to hunt on eBay and Japanese tourists with more money than all of us. It's really not a serious place to get something rare, but you might fill out easier stuff that isn't in mint shape that hey have in bins on the floor or something.
Personally I don't think we should patronize the place with prices like that through the roof (my reference is years out of date, but I doubt it's changed.) On eBay, it's (mm1.0) more market dependent (which makes the prices more acceptable), but the shop (albeit orgasmic to look at) is crap for actual purchases. Save you wastefunds for <<insert userID here>>(2049) and get it cheaper on eBay anyway.

give them a break. you have no idea how many junkies, perverts, pedophiles, and muggers go in that store, aside from the ususal geeks, time wasters, and obnoxious customers. It's a very trying job.

haha very true i think the reason half the ppl go in there is cuz they see the little window setup with all the old handhelds and what not and feel a bit nostalgic.

Yeah I go there every so often and end up spending lots of money whenever I go. I think its a cool place, the prices are outrageous at times but sometimes they have some good deals, one time the owner got pissed at me because I bought up all of his NES Game Cases, he told me "Dude You Can't Buy All of those" LOL but I didn't care I bought as much as I wanted and I will continue to buy whatever and how much I want >) I don't highly recommend them but I still recommend them 8-)
