[@Daboyricco]

You’re the reason I went back to gaming especially inspired me to buy the switch. I literally started collecting for Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 and ps2.

[@cerberolegal1216]

The same thing happened to me. Hahaha

[@gabe6652]

[@Daboyricco]

@@cerberolegal1216 I meant to say he brought me back into the Nintendo scene. Xbox with it backwards compatibility and emulation already had me hooked on gaming but Nintendo was mostly part of my childhood. And now that you can game your childhood classics on Xbox it’s just amazing. But I am collecting the retro games just to display them in my future game room!

[@numberoneappgames]

I would say having a member pos system is definitely what a top-level game store/business should have.

[@cursedsage8396]

you should checkout LA video games then, theyre new but they are top-class!

Shout out Colin and Samir ❤

Meanwhile in Sydney the closest thing to a retro game store is the dodgy pawn shop thats selling a YLOD PS3 for $70

[@dilkoncowen2108]

The last game store is like a 90s kids heaven. I would love to go to that store. So sick. If I am ever in that area def going.

[@kindred2k]

immediately the first store has to get ranked high for cleanliness and tidying up, looks like a perfect game store!!

Phoenix Resale is such good channel, ”4.8 stars, 4.8 Stars & 4.8 stars.” Shoutout to editor Riff with that Mario sfx.

The only other collectors edition i can think of with a theme-fitting ball, is the dodgeball for this bully collectors edition. Its super rare to find, hell i never seen any big youtubers ever show it off. Its something i would pay top dollar for as a good centerpiece for my ps2 collection. It has an artbook, a mini locker, that dodgeball, among a couple other small things that make it hard to find complete

[@tinkerstoytopia]

Honestly, kudos to the guys running out of a shed! We're running our little 220 sqft shop here in Oregon, and making the small space work was a huge challenge for us. Cool to see others out there making it work! 💪

[@JeremyOfWars]

They finally made into a small minimall type of store. It's pretty sick. They are expanding on the business now too. For tcg tournament like space.

[@pappyslaps]

I like watching you thrift video games while working, appreciate all the content

[@pavy415]

The last video game store reminds me of my mom and pop video game stores that used to be open in my area i loved them

[@SpookyDollhouse]

There used to be a great little shop in Radcliff called Game Krazy. They closed back in 2010-2011 iirc. That was quite awhile back! Anyway an older gentleman and his wife owned the store. They had a lot of rarities and regularly stocked DS imports and such. I got some great deals there back then, most notably Saturn Bomberman for $70! I'm not sure if the couple is around anymore or where they went after closing shop. They'd been opened since the 90s iirc. Wish the shop was still around so you coulda visited them!

[@ajroth419]

Cherry bomb games was the best

[@SpookyDollhouse]

@@ajroth419 They were good too. There was another shop on Dixie between Radcliff and Etown but I don't remember their name. Buddy's I think? Got some good deals there but they left some years ago and the building was demolished.

[@JobiWorld]

[@jetman80pops]

What makes a good mom and pop store. Be it video games, sports cards, toys, or anything in the collectables market. Is good customer service and everything is priced. Nothing more annoying then having to constantly ask how much something is. Once GameStop goes out of business (it'll eventually happen) all that will be left are the small business game stores.

[@mushi_marauder8038]

[@HazyBeard]

Wouldn't use ebay for price checking. Scalpers over price everything.

[@Tripledashhh_]

I don’t game no more but I do appreciate me a good video game store just because I like the dopamine I get from seeing the broad selection of retro/ old but good games! Also cleanliness plays in a factor unlike GameStop where shits just scattered most lowkey good video game stores look like friggin hospital rooms everything is organized well it’s a fascinating thing to experience.

[@comicsfan1973]

Yay, comics!

[@sECUREij]

[@ReditorDeku]

Just want to say that TF game and trade is my absolute favorite place I've sold many things there. The workers are so kind to me. I also bought many things from them and it's all well with Tham. And actually the one in Elizabeth town is the one I got to the most since it is closer to me than the one in Radcliff Kentucky. So if you want anything for cheap prices check them out. Definitely 12/10

[@xYxJMoneyxYx]

That’s crazy, I live 3 minutes away from TF Games. They have really good deals on consoles, and old gen games like Xbox 360, and PS3 games. There was a game store heading towards Radcliff near the bowling lanes and it got tore down, and now is a pawn shop. They had very good prices for Xbox 360 games. Back when Black ops 2 came out they had it marked down for $20 instead $60 brand new in the game case. It was crazy! But sadly it’s not there anymore.

[@annoyinsamurai]

Caleb, so excited for you to experience The Last of Us for the first time! I'd give anything to experience that for the first time again. Little tip just in case you didn't know/forgot though, they completely remade the original game for the PS5 and it's called The Last of Us Part I. It's got both highly improved graphics and enhanced gameplay. Not to say that the original and PS4 remaster are the inferior versions, they hold up just fine but I reckon the PS5 remake is the most ideal version to play, especially for a first-timer since it's got so much more accessibility options. Peace, love and positivity, Caleb ✌️ Catch ya on the flip!

[@ihatecops.]

People like Matt? I’ve heard him trash talk every customer after they leave while I was in there. This is the reason I don’t go to Matt’s anymore. One of the old employees even told me he trash talked me and my friend after we would come in the store. No doubt this is the worst LGS I’ve ever been to. I used to work at a card store in Lexington, Matt would have his employees bring Pokémon, magic and yugioh cards in to sell to us. We bought them at 60% cash, the employee he sent told me they paid 30-40% cash and would come to us to quickly flip them.

[@Sunny10tv]

[@poorsoul8492]

No one has GameCube stuff And anyone who does asks for the most insane price tags you’ll ever see in your fucking life My second favorite, the Dreamcast is even goddamn worse.

[@Tht1guy63]

There is a small regional chain called play and talk by me that does the member price deal. The 3 stores are interesting 2 are big with alot of plushes and pop figures and such with some games and then the 3rd (closest and favorite to me) is kinda small but has a ton of games compared to the other but little in the way of plush and random things like that.

[@chasexiii1523]
