Oh man. It sucks that you don't have anything reasonable in your area. BUT. In Virginia Beach there is a store called COOL STUFF.

This place is the friggin BOMB. The prices are reasonable. It is like a pawn shop for movies and video game stuff. I HATE HATE HATE driving to va beach from hampton cause of the damn tunnel traffic here. But as soon as I stride through the front door of that place, it all washes away. Remember when you were a kid and you couldnt wait to go to a certain store??? Thats how this place is and I am 27 years old. Ok, I am done plugging this place, I just wanted to say don't give up finding a good retro game shop!
