Found an awesome retro store on craigs list but....

Post by toredauei »

Im not entirely sure its a real store. The pictures look like they are from someones personal collection and there is no phone number provided. Id like to visit this place as its pretty close to my house but im kindof sketched out. anyway what do you guys think, does it look legit?

looks fine enough if the outside looks clean, give it a shot. Let us know how the prices are, I go through ATL some, if it's good I might stop by!

I went once, long ago. To be honest, I thought they went out of business...

Seems like they're still kicking. I think its definately worth a look through if its been that long since you've been, maby their prices are'nt so high anymore.

That's a little odd that their website doesn't mention that they actually sell games. It'd be nice if they had a product list.

Still, Math Blaster is one of their available LAN games...

I think it's odd that their pictures on craigslist look like they are of someone's basement collection.
