Wow - thats only about 1.25 hours drive away from where I live. Guess I'll be making a visit when my tax return comes in!
Thanks for the hook up!

Re: I just found the best game store EVER. Seriously.
My friend has a small shop in Clarkston, MI (some friend I am because it's name escapes me) and he has at least 60 N64's that he can't sell. PSOnes too. Nobody wants them anymore. FU^#er already threw away 40 N64's(didn't tell me before he did it) 2 years ago when he moved. He threw out a lot of gaming stuff, I was pissedtahoe2 wrote:How can that many people in one city still have so much retro stuff? Theres like 30 N64's just chillin on a shelf. I don't even know 30 people who have, or used to have them. And they are the most common of all retro systems pretty much.
Is the store huge, or just crammed. I image a crammed place.
A lot of good systems are thrown out because some people stop using them
Diabetes Sucks!
Re: I just found the best game store EVER. Seriously.
What's the name of your buddies' shop in Clarkston? I live in Ferndale, and I'm always interested in driving to new used game places. I'm also really excited to see those two places in the Kalamazoo area that I've never been.synbiosfan wrote:My friend has a small shop in Clarkston, MI (some friend I am because it's name escapes me) and he has at least 60 N64's that he can't sell.

I went into that store last summer. They had a model 1 Genesis for sale with the model 1 Sega CD that I was going to pickup. I asked how much and the guy told me $120 plus tax. I laughed my way out the door. Their selection is freaking awesome but WAY overpriced.

Actually, that's what a working model 1 Sega CD is actually worth. He would have probably knocked off $20 if you would have bought just the CD without the Genesis too.upandaway84 wrote:I went into that store last summer.

Now, Model 2's are the common and cheap Sega CD's.

Nice, I live about an hour drive either direction from kalamazoo or canton. I'll have to check those places out.
Theres a good place in lansing called game hits, but nothing worth driving more than an hour or two.

Need FreeMCboot? I'll install it on your PS2 Memory Card for free if you cover postage both ways.
Consoles: I have too much stuff
Arcade: No seriously, I have too much stuff. Someone grab a shovel and dig me out of my basement.
Re: I just found the best game store EVER. Seriously.
Damn. I'd buy one. Just don't want to shell 50 bones, when i can use that 50 to buy like 10 cheap but awesome games.synbiosfan wrote:My friend has a small shop in Clarkston, MI (some friend I am because it's name escapes me) and he has at least 60 N64's that he can't sell.

I figured it would be hard to sell the stuff, so a store would have a lot, i'm just amazed that one place has soooo many when its just a neighborhood used game store.
