The two Play n Trades near me are excellent. Dave and Brian are good guys. They may not have the stock the other guys have but they have heart. When I needed Endless Ocean last week, Dave hunted down the last copy in Atlanta, at a Target, bought it for me and gave me a call when he had it at the store. Then sold it to me at price. I mean how awesome is that?

I have two stores dedicated to video games. The cool thing is that they are mostly retro games. One is GameSwap and there they fix up the consoles better (replace connectors, joysticks, etc.). The NES was $50, NES 2 was $80, dreamcast was $60 I think, and they had a lot of "rarer" consoles (Jaguar, saturn, virtual boy vetrex, etc.). The other is GamesGalore it is a smaller store and they don't sell the "rarer" consoles nor do they replace connectors, joysticks, etc. The NES is still $50, NES 2 was $100, dreamcast was $25 (which I heard was cheap).

Man I'm jealous of you guys I only have one store that near me that sells games for "retro" consoles and it usually has terrible prices, right now selling Illusion of Gaia for $40 bucks.
