More like 5. This is common for first-time visitors, they buy any Mario game there is, then some combination of Contra, Tyson, Metroid, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Sometimes there's a weird one in the small pile, in this case, Bases Loaded.

I can consistently script the buying pattern of a new customer interested in NES games, regardless of whether they call in advance or not.

Do you ever throw together bundles to sell for just this occasion?

Wow, that's quite a story. Since I work in retail as well I've had all kinds of odd customers too. I don't know New Jersey at all but I didn't know you were near Rutgers. I stopped there for lunch 2 summers ago on a road trip. See you in a few weeks at CGE!

Funny, when I ran my store which carried classic games, it always followed the pattern you describe. Mario/Duck Hunt, and any others we actually had in-stock, followed my one of 10 other types of common games.

Man I'd kill to have a store like yours in the Memphis area. We only have one game store that isn't a Gamestopoly around here, and it's lackluster at best. Everything's way overpriced, especially since there's no competition, and their inventory hardly ever improves. I bought some Sega CD games a year ago that they said had been there for like 7 years. I was lucky enough to find the Lunar games for $29.99 (ACTUAL market value these days), so somebody must've been napping on that day.

Also tough to find a good online store. I won't ask if you'll ever make your database of games online, since it's probably already been considered and/or dismissed.

Oh well, my alternatives are non-existant here thanks to Starbuckstop.
