If you’re in Omaha those shops were pretty good to me.
I have two local sources for retro games. One is a friend of mine who runs a business of sorts, he doesn’t have a physical store front but doesn’t conventions and the likes and he is an absolute peach. He had great trade in value and he sells for under VGPC (with the exception of the easy seller stuff).
Then there is the other shop, it’s been around forever and as the years have gone on it’s become much more card based game oriented. Their inventory doesn’t change often but I once in a while am able to grab a deal.
Having a local store is nice but I also have to take it for what it is. Some stuff is outrageous but considering the majority of their profits aren’t coming from game sales, I suppose they can sit on the inventory.
