I'll have to check them both out. The only semi-local stores I've been to are play n trade in Londonderry NH and Video Game Exchange in Plaistow NH. Sometimes I get some PS1 games from Bullmoose aswell as more recent stuff.

I set up all my online addresses to point to my current one, so I didn't need to deal with USPS change of address on my identity. I then went to the DMV, got my new license, and they mailed the permanent one to me. But since I didn't have my name on the mailbox it got returned to sender. This only affect certain pieces of mail, however. As soon as I got my name on it I had no problems.
Funny because I just moved from Seattle to Worcester. Im just worried because there is ALOT of my information floating around in limbo and I dont want to have to go through contacting each entity to have it resent.
I was fortunate. I moved here out of college, so all I needed to initially transfer was my credit card bill and my auto loan. I was still on the cell phone and car insurance with my parents for a few months, so I had time to set up new ones of those separate from them. And I cashed out my bank accoutn when I moved, since my bank was Midwest only.

I just had some idiot at my post office refused to help me.

Basicly, i got my Fallout 3 Collect Ed Strat Guide label printed off from paypal for 2 bucks (hey, trying to get some money) so the book wouldnt fit on the outside of the mailboxes, so i had to go inside. Basicly, the guy there didnt want to help me at first or offer help till i had to say "i want to pay to ship this off today". He kept telling me i had to reprint a paypal label at the correct weight (said the book was 4 pounds, when it was 2, idiot). Then once i told him that i want to ship this off WHILE IM INFRONT OF YOU AT THE POST OFFICE, he was like "oh ok then, just fill out a priority mail slip and its going to be 8.15 to ship".

That pissed me off. So in a sence, i didnt make more on the book like i thought, which now i have to go to the post office and ship it off first class mail (i will not do priority, even thought the guy said i had to) and pay more on shipping, which means i need to jack my prices up on the book a few dollors, which i dont know if people will still look at it as "hey, im getting a deal".

I just sold something on ebay that I charged $13 dollars to ship and ebay was telling me it was high for the item but let me anyhow. The post office wanted $21 to ship it. I shipped it parcel for 13.95 instead. Fuck the ebay shipping deal.

If it's a book or any type of media (e.g, video games), you can send it media mail as the cheapest form of shipping. It only make sense if it's over 1-2 lbs.
