As far as Jacksonville goes, there were a few stores I found that were small but decent.  I haven't been back in a while but they're still there. 

Video Game Rescue
2415 Blanding Blvd #7
Jax Florida

They have a small arcade next door with about 10 or 12 machines and I think most games were still set to a quarter to play.

Games Galore
I couldn't get an address to come up with this online, but its also on Blanding Blvd across the street from the Orange Park Mall.  Orange Park is just south of Jax, kinda a suburb or adjoining city.  Its also just south of I-295.

Yep if you're on 295 and get off at State Road 21 south it's about 3/4 mile down the road on the right.

The major flea market in Sanford shut down. The one nearby had quite a few of the video game vendors close, so there's only 1 major vendor there now. Most of the retro shops in my area closed as well. There are still places, but to be honest Nick hit up a lot of the nice places in Kissimmee and East Orlando. It depends on where how far he'd like to drive in the Orlando area.

So, are you driving down I95 through Raleigh, NC?  I might be able to recommend some stores in that area, or at least dig up a few for you.

Video Game Rescue folks are awesome.
Just as a warning, I heard some of the shops closed up in Destin, so you may want to check first before going.

Kissimmee has a nice flea market and Old Town. If driving down I-4, there was a sizable store called Video Game Trader... but, it looks like he shut down both the brick-and-mortar store in Port Orange and his flea market stand after the Flea Market closed. Damn... Well, I guess I'm screwed for anything on my side of town now besides the Flea Market. Cry

East Orlando has a store in Waterford that's nice, but that's out of your way.

There's a small chain called Edward McKay's that I frequent often and their prices aren't staggeringly great, but always fair in my area. I've never been to the Raleigh store before, but the two stores in the neighboring towns where I am from are great and where I get a lot of my games. Address is: 3514 Capital Boulevard, Raleigh NC

I was also told that there are several Play N Trades in the Raleigh area. Again, I don't get out to Raleigh much since it is over an hour away, but you should have a decent time finding NES/SNES/Genesis and maybe even some older stuff at these places. 

There's a place called the Boxcar in downtown Raleigh that is a bar with an arcade and pinball machines. Again, never been there, but it looks like a good spot if you want to drop some quarters on your way through: 330 West Davie Street, Raleigh, NC 27601

If you were coming through Greensboro, I'd take you around, but doing so would get you way off course. Good luck. Cheesy
