Retro Game Store Directory

We Got Gamez & C3:
619 Kingston Road Unit 8
Ajax, Ont. L1S 6L8
(289) 660-GAME

This place is rubbish. They are overpriced and sleazy with trade values. The guy also has a flea market booth. If money is no object, it's probably a good place for you. Otherwise, I strongly suggest going elsewhere.

I have been talking about a certain retro game store for sometime now and now I can finally post what store this is in this directory. Some people here have shopped here and I may get a little heat but whatever.
That's Entertainment in Worcester ma. They also have a place in Fitchburg ma also.
They have everything. old and new toys, dvd's blue ray's, comics, sports, board games, magic tournaments, everything anybody can go for. It's a great store to look around but here is my beef on it.
They lately have been overcharging on video games because they have told me that they need to compete with amazon and ebay. Grant it there a business and they need to make money but lately too many employees buy the games and they charge at there own discrepancy. Like one employee will give you 10 dollars cash or 13 in trade for a game and the next day another employee will give you 8 in cash and 10 in trade for the same game.
The other thing I noticed is that even though they use price charts.com I believe that they are going for what the highest price sold one that game went for and price it for that price. Like they have all gamecube Zelda games and is charging 60-70 for each game when I think you can get a cheaper copy on ebay if you just wait.
I just feel like they have gone up on everything because there is no more competition and they can just do it. I saw some Mario wii games going for 30 and up when I know you can get those games thru ebay for 20.00 or so. I have been going there for over 20 years and now I don't have any ambition to go back any more. I want to give a +1 for the crew and what they have in the store but I will give a -1 for the prices that they sell the stuff for. If they just went average like they did a year or so ago then it would be cool but that's not going to happen.
P.S I do know if someone says I can get that game for cheaper or even show that that game sells on gamestop for a lower price they will say "go to gamestop then" I have seen that before and I thought that was not customer focused.

Game On Shelbyville
1299 Madison St, Shelbyville, TN 37160

Clean store, well stocked with both rare and common games. Owner knows his stuff and is a collector and gamer. Prices on the whole seem to be VGPC or Ebay complete without shipping. They even had multiple copies of Earthbound and a Little Samson in stock.

I had the pleasure of stopping by this store earlier today. It has a very good selection, and although its 2600 games could use a good dusting, the store has very good prices. (I cannot complain about $1 2600 carts!)

EDIT:


During my trip to West Virginia, I also stopped by:

All-N-One
3904 MacCorkle Avenue SE
Charleston, WV 25304

It is a pawn shop that focuses on vintage video games. (In this respect, it is similar to the Bargain Shops in eastern North Carolina.) It had great prices, a very good selection, and the owners are clearly video game enthusiasts. I highly recommend it to anyone in the Charleston area.

Just wanted to add a bit of input about Game Force located at: AURORA ILIFF & CHAMBERS (S.W. Corner Next to Village Inn)

IMHO, he is over priced.
