    I'm impressed you guys have brick-and-mortar stores that purchase retro games at any price.

    The one near me isnt doing the best. they dont get much for trade-ins. honestly eBay has made brick and mortar stores all but pointless for many people though Id also say the Facebook groups contributes to it as well. I think in urban areas, game stores can really thrive because of the younger population and lower income people who need quick cash so theyll trade in their games.

    pricing is a big point of contention.. why am I going to trade in a game to a place that will give me a dollar when i can get ten times that on Ebay

    Are their selling prices at least decent?

    The closest thing in my neck the woods is a mom-and-pop video rental store. I have never even set foot inside it, yet its tenacity for life somehow makes me happy every time I drive past it... It's open late, too, with its glass storefront often casting the only light in an otherwise pitch black strip center.

    im guessing that means they rent out pornography to old men who dont have internet

    as far as prices, no they are kind of a ripoff. they list way above eBay for a lot of the stuff
