Title: bought out a shop.
Post by: slothingXPIG on June 23, 2014, 05:55:26 pm
Well guys, I bought out my friends shop. He presented a deal I couldn't refuse. With this in hand I'm keeping the stuff I don't have and was planing on gathering some of them and posting it on here for sale. Soo pretty soon you'll be seeing a lot of stuff. Ps2, nes ,SNES, GameCube, ps1 Xbox etc. Also some will be on my eBay account if you guys see something you want on there let me know and I'll check to see if I have an extra one.

I'm looking for an original "phat" DS if anyone has one to sell for cheap!

Also, congrats! :D

Thats awesome! I considered it once before (I actually did one time buy out an old store but it was just what was left after being closed a few years).

Hopefully you list everything here first before dropping it on the `Bay. :)

Congratulations! Sounds pretty awesome. :)
Is there any chance that you'll have a Game Boy Micro somewhere in that stock that you'd want to sell?

That is awesome!


A few friends of mine had the opportunity about a year ago to buy out most of a local game store's inventory before they went under. They got some insane deals like Snatcher (disc only) for like $2, and a bunch of other really hard to find stuff. I think they spent like a grand each, but made out with around $6000 each in gaming stuff.


You should pos a pick of everything together, would be interested it see it all.

Soera I have only listed the common popular games on the bay. I'm still sorting it from sell to keep lol its a lot. I figured I needed the extra money and theres lots of money in it.. Unfurtanly guys there were no handhelds except game gears (which I have never had lol), but butt loads of old systems.. I'll get some up tommorow prolly.

They come out of the woodwork when there's a deal to be had.

Not real great photos. This was when I first got it into my house, it had been a long day at that point http://postimg.org/gallery/be3r2vnq/

OMG that boxed Pokemon Heartgold... I'd love to ask for a deal on that, but I'm sure you'll be able to get a good price for it on eBay :)

Also, I can't wait to see what you put up for auction for the PS1/2, DS, and Gamecube titles <3

Interested in a complete Sega Genesis system and games that are complete.  Will definitely try to keep myself updated on your listings.

Game Boy Colors you say? Still need one of those awful-looking Tommy Hilfiger ones, if you'd happen to see one of those.

Cool a Genesis model 3. I wouldnt mind one of those. :)

Here is something to think about.  I bought that mess of consoles off of you back in the day.  You didn't have a Genesis so I got one up and going and sent it to you.  Now you're swimming in them, almost literally,   ;D

I hear ya on that.. The big problem with buying a shop is you want to keep everything you don't have(at least I do) lol I'm holding a lot of stuff back for myself and if I don't make enough to cover my ass I'll sell what I picked out.

After viewing the photos I can see you got some tonnage.  If you were to open in Maine (from where I hail) you would easily have the biggest retro game store in the state. LOL. There's nothing up here.

Makes me want to set one up myself.
