    Anytime I go down to Portland for a weekend, visiting Josh's store is a must. Last time I was there we sat and talked about that very 1990 NWC shown in this video.
    Josh has helped me out with building my SNES collection and cut me some solid deals. I always leave his store with a purchase. Highly recommended to anyone searching for something to add to their collection.

      Because small-medium sized town game stores sell a nes-snes for $49 same with GameCube and $75 for n64 $50 for a Wii $140 for a Wii U 32gb and so on controllers are $6-12 used gameboys $35-$70 depending on model most game carts and discs are 20% below eBay prices because they don’t pay shipping on them and they are still making plenty

    • @josh1364
      @josh1364 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      like anything else used product is region based. I don't know any store with those prices these days. We sell consoles for our listed prices on store daily and run out of everything eventually. We also pay more for them due to selling them for more. I just offered a friend $50 wholesale for 10 N64 console with 1 controller. Perhaps where you're from the market is different but around these parts our prices are either the cheapest or within a few percent of everyone else.

    That $5 or less section is way better than any I've ever seen. So much stuff. A lot of the times it's "junk" items no one would want, but sometimes there are a few cool things in there worth picking up.
    I hope the used game store I like going to is still up when this all finally blows over. I'd like to continue supporting them, but there's no justification for me personally going that far right now just to pick up a few video games given the distance, cost of gas and current climate.
    But they were my number one place to pick up Skylanders figures, old PS2 games, and even a PS1 title or two (though they aren't cheap there, unfortunately and I wish I had picked up Spyro before the remasters came out and they got expensive...). Hope their business survives. They're in a good location, but who knows, might be tough for them right now.

      Gotta be the best soundtrack I ever heard in a game. Though I do wish they kept Last Surprise from the original as the battle theme when you sneak up on someone, Take Over isn't nearly as good IMO. I think Last Surprise is still the battle theme if you don't get the sneak attack in though? Also love all the P5 DLC being thrown in so I can play with Mass Destruction as the battle theme.
