Title: Good Atlanta Used game/console Store
Post by: ften on January 25, 2005, 09:26:17 pm

         I'm looking for a good place to buy a few old nintendos, snes, etc around the Atlanta area. Anyone know a good used video game store? There were a crapload of them around New York and I haven't really seen any around here.

Thanks,
Ften

zip that I know of. 

I did see a stack of intellevision carts in the boxes at a thrift store in Roswell on Sat.  They wanted $7.00 pc, the boxes were all bent up, and the best part...they had put a pink sticker on each one then wrote $6.99 with a damn marker on each box about 3 times the size of the sticker.

Got several stores around north Alabama called "Player 2".... they have Sega Genesis, NES, SNES, various versions of Gameboy, PS1 and PS2 stuff all over... occasionally a console or two, but mostly games....

Then Funcoland was eaten by Gamestop.

Yup, there used to be a few comic shops up in New York that had counters full of used Nintendo and Genesis consoles and games, but that was like 5 years ago.. . Buying the stuff on eBay sucks, because the shipping is more then the actual  item is. Oh well..
