Can't think of any off the top of my head, but I did hear they charge alot. So be prepared to dishout pretty pennies, if you're going to spend.

VideoGamesNYC in the West Village has an impressive amount of stuff, but the prices on the retro, classic, and import stuff are absolutely ridiculous.

There are some reasonably priced items in there - but anything of rare/retro/import interest is likely going to be $10-$15 higher than anywhere else you can find it on the software side, and around $50-$150 higher for systems.

It's worth a look, but it's no Digital Press, that's for damn sure!!

[Poofta!]

honestly there arent many, if any, worth going to.

theres a place in china town that ive been to YEARS ago, it was semi-decent. hunt around mulberry st right off of canal.

there really isnt anything. sorry, you can drive to DP's store, its like 30-40min away depending on where you'll be.

Video Games New York has a big selection, but prices aren't at the eBay's level. You'll find commons at the right prices, but everything a little rarer will be very expensive. There were 2 Master System samples (demos) priced at 299 usd each...

Go to Clifton. DP shop.

I don't know what it is about J&L, every time I walk in there I just feel disinterested and leave. I did find one or two other import stores in little basement malls around the area, but nothing you can't get at play-asia or ncsx for similar prices.

Unless videogames ny has cleaned up their store, I found it to be extremely cluttered and dirty as well. Don't go in there unless you know exactly what you want and what you're willing to pay for it. Their prices are all over the place.

Just bite the bullet and go to Clifton, it's worth the trip.

If you're going down to Chinatown, hit up the Chinatown Fair. It may look like hell, but it's one hell of a competitive arcade.

You left out the fact that it usually smells like Hell also.

Chinatown Fair is the arcade. Elizabeth Center is the shopping mall.
