Bump-n-Jump the Play-n-Trade thread.
Got three of these opening in Albuquerque now and of the two I've visited they seem very promising.
The one I visited today was literally only a couple of hours from their official grand opening, but the owner was still nice enough to let me in to browse but couldn't sell me anything yet since he was waiting on one last permit to clear. I told him I was mostly interested in pre-NES stuff, 2600 in particular, and he pulled out a couple boxes of Atari carts that hadn't been put out yet. Found a weird old controller and a few carts I needed, including a Xonox double-ender . Although he couldn't officially sell anything yet, he said he'd be happy to put them on hold for me until tomorrow. He then tipped me off that he was expecting someone to bring him another big pile of 2600 carts this weekend and that I should come back to rifle through that stack as well. Dang...
Very nice to see a franchise store going above and beyond like this, especially for the pre-NES stuff. If they keep this level of service up I'll be happy to make a habit of giving them monies.
