@scott That would be awesome, and it's something I've been wanting to do for some time now, but I doubt it would work well around here... where I live, "gamers" are mostly people who play NHL/CoD/Halo and nothing else (unless they're parents buying wii shovelware for their kids). |

There are a few used game stores around here. But I've always liked the idea of it, or a record store. ha |

I really should try some charity shops and the like, but I never really get the urge to go in. Mostly I'm resigned to paying ebay prices and hoping to get a bit of luck with a bad spelling or something like that. (Worked very well for my Parasite "Evil" II game+guide I got) Knowing a few friends who are ignorant to the value of some games is great too. |

Most people who run retro game stores are very stupid. Their main goal is just to show off their collection. They don't want to sell anything. The price elasticity of demand for classic video games is very elastic at current prices. Making prices reasonable would lead to a more frequent turnover, which would lead to more money. Disc Traders in Lansing is very reasonable when it comes to prices and they have a decent selection to boot. |

I may need to make a trip that way soonish and see what they have on hand. |
