So I did wind up going to Video Games New York yesterday, which happens to be only a few blocks away from 8-bit and Up. Overall their selection is way better on classic game systems but damn are they super expensive. Think I saw a loose SNES Dracula X for $80 and the lowest price for anything loose was like $20. They had a better selection of Turbo/PC Engine games but that's not saying much. Nothing rare, but again I saw a lot of loose hueys of common titles priced at $20 and up. Really only a good place to pick up titles if your an impulse buyer otherwise, for a lot of stuff, you can get complete copies on ebay (gasp) for less than what Video Games New York sells loose.

It's a shame I would of picked up some loose SNES or Genesis carts if their prices were reasonable.

Well, the price for that same Dracula X cart is much better than it was when I saw it back in 2008...

So maybe by 2014 the price will approach something reasonable.  :lol:

The sad thing is they probably paid some kid who didn't know any better $5 for it.

I live in cleveland ohio and there still is a Its About Games store that still has a few loose Hu-Cards mostly Keith Courage, Bonks, TV Sports all the commons he has them at $5bucks a game. Thats cheap by ebay standards lol.

But any good collector that sells Turbo games thats not GameStop is looking to make a little something more then what the game is worth. If your a Mom and Pop shop that sells Rare games and Systems you cant afford to sell a rare game for $20bucks.

My brother just got back from Hawaii and he picked up a ColecoVision cart of Zaxxon, for just $5, and a sealed boxed copy of Joust for for the Atari 2600 for $6. He got 'em both from Toys n' Joys in Honolulu. He asked about PC Engine/Turbografx games, and they clerk said they didn't have any that week. But lots of NES/SNES/Genesis/MD/PS1/Saturn games and consoles. Even an ATARI Lynx was left there to rot. :)

WOW.

I lived in Hawaii a loooong time ago and used to know the folks that owned Toys n' Joys (went to High School with their son).  Holy crap your post brought back a wave of memories.  I bought a Turbografx-16 from them when it was released.  ... and a Turbo Booster+... and a CD attachment... and an Express...  and a ton of games.  They were my go-to source for Turbo goodness back in the early 90s.  I could ride my bike there.  Awesome to know they're still around.  I wonder if my high school buddy is now running it (he's probably 36-37 these days).
