Some great prices on most games, but others are pretty high.  Many consoles can be a little high, like a NGPC for $65, a DC for $75, and a mini SNES for $125.

Great knowledgeable staff, very helpful, highly recomended.

[Moriya Hanzo]

u think thats bad, Atari Jag with CD unit and 6 games for $300

[Cellplanman]

Seeing as from time to time people ask where they could go to find vintage games, vintage movies, and ect.. locally without going to the big name stores, I decided that an official topic should be started as some sort of a database to help those who are interested in finding these stores.

Now these stores could sell many things but I would only like to list those that sells movies, games, and even music.

I hope this helps people discover local businesses.
Please only list stores you have personally visited.
Try and go along with my format so I could update the list easier.
