I wanted to post about a Classic Video Game shop down here in Virginia that recently opened and show some pics of this place. I love the guy’s name, must be an old game tag he takes very seriously. This is a very good shop however the prices are EXPENSIVE. More expensive than eBay pricing for sure but he has a little of everything. The Neo Geo CDZ is $700.00, Bonk’s Revenge is $70, Nes Top Loader is $150.00, you get the idea. The guy has pretty much everything however, I just can’t get past his pricing. He has many systems setup and I spent some time playing Space Harrier on the 32X ($40 for that game BTW). I ended up picking up TEMPO for the 32x from him for a good price and Battlecorps Sega CD Game from Core. I figured I'd post this up for anyone in the area and maybe he is willing to ship. I respect any serious shop and this guy had a lot of people in his shop when I went so business seems to be good. He also sells current gen consoles and does repairs. He also has computers for people to play games on there as well.

Hey, I am in VA. Where be this place.? Durpp.. too excited to read..
-
Yeah it's a good place. Bring your checkbook.
-
Yikes! Sounds like a real whore.
-
Gonna go this weekend. :)
-
Looks like a nice place. I REALLY wish there was a good game store here locally.
-
Very nice! Space Harrier 32X is a pretty awesome game IMHO.
-
all those poorly placed stickers.........
-
I hope you didn't pay too much for Tempo or Battlecorps. They're good games, but they can be had for pretty cheap online & aren't really worth paying extra for the instant gratification...

Nope. Good deals.
-
I see they've got a Genesis/Sega CD rental case, you know what they're asking for that?
-
Are there any discernible differences between the NES and FDS versions of Gun.Smoke?
-

Too Much, like $200. It comes with a rough Model 2 Sega Genesis a and a Model 2 Sega CD that the door is stuck open.

I added this to the List of Stores That Sell Turbo Games thread.

Bleh, I'd only want the case. I already have a setup. There was someone on ebay trying to sell one in a bundle like that for awhile but they wanted waaaay to much for it too. (Or maybe I am just cheap)
-
He probably bought all of his stuff from eBay and decided to open a store with it. And that's why the prices are higher than eBay. $70 for a common-ass SNES? No thank you. I imagine this would be a place I'd only ever visit once. I also never return to places where they have no prices and check eBay before telling me how much an item in their inventory costs. Why even go to game stores any more when eBay offers just as good or even better deals? I don't know how stores like this stay in business.
-
The guy did seem nice enough Joe. He came down on his CDZ price of $700 (with one controller) to $700, one controller, and 2 common as dirt CD games.
He wanted $35 for a Boxed 32X Space Harrier, OK condition. Should I have bought it?
He also wanted $400 for the boxed "Brand New" Virtual Boy.
I would keep an eye on this guy and if and when he falls pick up the peaces as he closes up shop.

Character portraits, music, etc. More elaborate in the NES version. http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/gunsmoke/gunsmoke.htm
