    What makes a good mom and pop store. Be it video games, sports cards, toys, or anything in the collectables market. Is good customer service and everything is priced. Nothing more annoying then having to constantly ask how much something is. Once GameStop goes out of business (it'll eventually happen) all that will be left are the small business game stores.

    People like Matt? I’ve heard him trash talk every customer after they leave while I was in there. This is the reason I don’t go to Matt’s anymore. One of the old employees even told me he trash talked me and my friend after we would come in the store. No doubt this is the worst LGS I’ve ever been to. I used to work at a card store in Lexington, Matt would have his employees bring Pokémon, magic and yugioh cards in to sell to us. We bought them at 60% cash, the employee he sent told me they paid 30-40% cash and would come to us to quickly flip them.

    Caleb, so excited for you to experience The Last of Us for the first time! I'd give anything to experience that for the first time again. Little tip just in case you didn't know/forgot though, they completely remade the original game for the PS5 and it's called The Last of Us Part I. It's got both highly improved graphics and enhanced gameplay. Not to say that the original and PS4 remaster are the inferior versions, they hold up just fine but I reckon the PS5 remake is the most ideal version to play, especially for a first-timer since it's got so much more accessibility options. Peace, love and positivity, Caleb ✌️ Catch ya on the flip!

    There used to be a great little shop in Radcliff called Game Krazy. They closed back in 2010-2011 iirc. That was quite awhile back! Anyway an older gentleman and his wife owned the store. They had a lot of rarities and regularly stocked DS imports and such. I got some great deals there back then, most notably Saturn Bomberman for $70! I'm not sure if the couple is around anymore or where they went after closing shop. They'd been opened since the 90s iirc. Wish the shop was still around so you coulda visited them!

    That’s crazy, I live 3 minutes away from TF Games. They have really good deals on consoles, and old gen games like Xbox 360, and PS3 games. There was a game store heading towards Radcliff near the bowling lanes and it got tore down, and now is a pawn shop. They had very good prices for Xbox 360 games. Back when Black ops 2 came out they had it marked down for $20 instead $60 brand new in the game case. It was crazy! But sadly it’s not there anymore.
