Looks like they're closing up shop January 31, 2011.  Interestingly enough, they say they'll still do orders for $500+, so group orders would still be doable (assuming you could find enough people willing to give 'em yet another chance).

Yeah, kind of saw this coming with their mega sales and all. Wolfgames is closing shop too. Its hard to make money with this kind of thing right now. Hobby Link Japan (huge Japanese web shop for models, been around for ages) decided to discount everything they sell (nearly) just to compensate for the stupid value of the yen.

Hmmm. Shipping changes were the last straw, it seems.

Didn't Matt close WolfGames a few years ago and re-start it again?

Sounds like I might end up with a bunch of the stock to sell at cons.

RS was good to me any time i needed a game for the famicom.

Kind of a shame there "getting out of the business" for selling used games but what ya can do.

Though,the last time i try to order from rs i got decline even though i had the money.

I ordered from them several times and never had an issue with them, so I'm pretty bummed about this.
