Do you have issues with shoplifters?

@@vision821k4 not particularly. We’ve had a few issues over the years but they were dealt with swiftly.

@@RadJunk I'm glad to hear that, I really am. Cool store and we can see your passion. Good luck.

What is the price range of those nintendo power magazines

@@vision821k4 You have to go to Japan if you want zero shoplifters.

You happen to have any Sly Cooper promo items, like displays, posters, etc?

How was the experience of it all?

lots of us would, my question is, would we even buy a single item? that's the problem to me

Raddest thing was most definitely ROB

I imagine most people cannot afford to have a big ass house and have big rooms dedicated to showing off their psychical media collection in a fancy way......

Her store isn't successful. None of these stores are. They're like arcades now. They're all dying and going under. There isn't enough people that has a need for an arcade or physical copies of games anymore. Only a few will use it and they aren't enough to keep a business open.

@@ebogar42 Obviously some of the stores have to be somewhat successful. I imagine their success highly depends on how populated the area is where the store is located. Florida has over 22 million people and is the third most populated state

@@michaelangst6078 I doubt many of them are that successful, if at all. They might make a little money to get by, but I doubt the store is ever packed. There might be millions in Florida, but I doubt even a million have an old console, or care about old games. Old games are cool to go back to for a few days, but most people aren't going to continue buying them all the time. A lot of the old stuff is now coming out on console marketplace too, so there won't be any need for a physical copy of a game in the future. There is a reason why Gamestop can't make it. It's the same reason every arcade died out. People just don't go that much anymore. They play at home and usually download games now. Most of the market are young kids, teens, and young adults that don't really care about the consoles we used to have. They might care about the ps2 or ps3, but that's about it. all of those games will eventually come out on the marketplace though, so no need to buy a ps2 or ps3.

i came here to say that lol

Where is the similarities?

@@Bucketheadxx voice

exactly where my mind went too hahaha

My first thought too

x2

Why love a dying business? I liked Arcades too and wish they were still around, but it's a terrible business idea just like this one in 2024. Nobody is going to Arcades anymore, and nobody is buying physical copies of games anymore either, or playing much of those older consoles.

@@ebogar42 I see plenty of older consoles and games being sold. A lot of people are buying them out of nostalgia. Physical games are also better. Yes, digital has its conveniences but you can share, trade or sell physical copies. And you generally own your game when it’s physical whereas you don’t really own digital games

It's so ridiculous what we have become. The corporations own EVERYTHING and then slowly increase the prices. We went from the 90s to the most boring ***** bull*** . That's what her store reminds me of, ew don't get me started give this girl all your money f*** them

It's not like you make bank at a store like this

​@@destroyermakerNo, you don't... I worked in real for 10-years (PC stores, video game stores, and so on). So I know the profit margin on a lot of stuff.

These people are the best. I’ve given them a lot of my money over the last few years. They care a lot about their customers

I bought a Switch game from GameStop that was "new" online, then when i went to pick it up at the store, the clerk went to the display shelf to grab the game case, then opened a drawer behind the counter, searched for a while, then grabbed a game cartridge and the instruction booklet and placed them back into the case, and then put this into a bag and handed it to me. I was shocked. I paid new game price for an opened game. The only reason i didn't refund was because this game was hard to find "new". But GameStop needs to stop this practice of selling "opened display shelf" games for full MSRP price. The game box had dog-eared corners and was in rough shape from being on the display shelf for customers to grab for who knows how long.

im 36, when the ps2 just came out i sold all my genesis, sega cd, n64, ps1 stuff back in the day at game stop... i proly sold 150 games and only got enough money for a handfull of new ps2 games. 150 isnt a crazy amount but it would be nice to have that sitting on a shelf today. they gave me a couple dollars a piece for a lot of them and those same games cost like 30$ 70$ etc...

That's downright criminal. My mom was on the other end of the spectrum thankfully and didn't even want me to get rid of my Lego's let alone any gaming devices.

@tru3sk1|| do iiiittttttt

I'm 37. My mom threw out my NES and games after sitting for years. All of these games were in box, with manual etc. Think i had 8-10 games, Mario 3, Maniac Mansion, Rescue Rangers, Turtles 1 and Turtles 2, Battletoads etc. Pretty common games, but they were complete in box! I also had Little Samson, which i found out was worth thousands of dollars many years ago. To say i was a little pissed is an understatement.

Straight up thought the same thing

Absolutely

@biotic456 - In my opinion, Sam (@RadJunk) has more Ana de Armas’ Joi from Blade Runner 2049 vibes.

Bro I was thinking the same thing

Thought the exact same thing!

We appreciate it!

Eric!!! ❤️❤️❤️
