    Have you considered any commissioning type of arrangements? Since you know lots of collectors in your area, maybe they would be interested in selling stuff through your store, with you taking a % of the sale price. Just a thought.
    You mean like consignment?
    Oops! Yeah, I used the wrong word.

    I hope the strippers don't get nixed...

    So is the store open yet? And do you carry imported Nintendo DSes?

    We were trying to decide over on the Jaguar Sector forums what game you were going to run in the Jag kiosk - any ideas?

    Love the setup. Color scheme and walls remind me of Funcoland of old.

    Looks great, very VERY tempting!

    It is very smart to mix old systems and new ones, a display of Donkey Kong Country and GTA Vice City, a GC and Dreamcast with an Intellivision; it prevents the store from getting "labeled" as a retro-store or just another store which sells new stuff.

    ...and the collectors guides, additionally books about game history, refrences to the website, a couple of free DP 'zines on the counter, this will set you apart from other stores and is unique; and put some pics up from the CGE or the classic section of E3 with you and Bushnell or Baer or Wozniak and hang them in the book/guide section.

    When I saw those Game Players and the boxed Turbogrfx my first thought was 'damn, why isn't this store in Milwaukee?'

    You're on the right path, you'll see, it will be a big success!

    Loving the store, Joe. Any chance you can fly me out for the grand opening? Much obliged!

    One thought... should you really be advertising Digital Press to the masses? Perhaps some business cards for the more discerning customer would be better advised.

    Man, I would love to have a store like that in town.

    It would be cool if you put up some vids as well when the story is finished. *hint, hint!

    Just wanted to say how impressed I am with the direction of your store - it looks completly kick ass! Pity I live in NZ, next time I stop over in the US on my way somewhere (could be a while) I'll be sure to put in the extra effort to make it to the store - better than Disney Land for me!

    That monitor looks kick ass and I can;t wait to see what you do to the basement!
