Well, I was actually up there because a relative was in the hospital, but I have a friend going to college there as well, so I try to swing past all the shops when I do visit. And now it's going to be my outlet for the best drink in existence, Dublin Dr. Pepper. Just had my first one.
Next time you're there (and it's not Monday-Wednesday), check out The Crossing Flea Market. It's a place over on South 14th, near Butternut, might have to ask your friend for directions to get there. They've got a decent selection of gaming stuff, the prices are generally fair-ish, though you occasionally find a nice bargain or a weird overpriced to hell item. There are two booths for games (though I've heard that one might be moving out soon), and you can haggle pretty well assuming the owner of said booth is there.
The place right next door (called Manuel's Nintendo Games or something) has a huge selection and I buy stuff there sometimes, but the pricing is kinda iffy on many things and the guy doesn't seem to know very much for someone who's supposed to be specializing in retro wares. Again though, you can occasionally score decent bargains if you keep your eye open. He's also pretty haggle-able.
Those are probably the best places in town for retro stuff, I'd check them out next time you're there.
. I finally picked up the other box today with the pc-engine and atari 2600 in it. The pc-engine is absolutely mint, still in the box and came with 6 cib games. The 2600 also came with about 15 games.
