    Rick will be at his son's high school graduation, and as they call his name and hand him his diploma, Rick will be thinking about how he could have saved $800 if he had just waited to buy Flintstones

    Obviously not as bad as Flintstones. But I actually had a similar experience at Retro World Expo this year.. Nothing like finding a game at one vendor and missing it somewhere else, then spotting it for 30%+ cheaper after you bought it. Again, no where near as expensive as Flintstones, but I was definitely kicking myself.

    Love to see what other people's game shops look like when you go game hunting. That Mario soda advertisement sign was AWESOME. I'd def hang that in my gaming room if I owned it. Did you guys make an offer for it or find out how much it's going for?

    I played romance of the three kingdoms with my best friend every weekend in 6th grade, we'd save our allouancees and buy snacks and soda and rent it for 2 days and just play all weekend long until we had to return it. We would switch koei games every month, We loved those kinds of games. Uncharted waters, airbiz, any kind of simulation game. Great memories. If I'd known what they would be worth now I woulda never returned them! lol

    Ran into you at Retropalooza because I live in Fort Worth. Been to your shop once but usually I overnight in XNA so I’m always at Vintage Stock. My father knows how crazy I am about vintage and retro… thing is I never knew about this shop and he goes to Silk City Coffee daily. At the very first second of the video the Gulf Station is shown the house is just up the hill and behind it. I’ve got a call to make, so disappointed.

    As much as I love your videos, your team and when you go and check out another store, makes it just feel fake and for money. You come off as $$$ predators, and I get it, you have to make money, but does your store or you're youtube? Go in by yourself as opposed to the team method...
    feels predatory..

      @RetroJunk1987 9 месяцев назад

      This isn't his "team"...they were friends showing him around the area when he came to Connecticut for Retro World expo. It isn't predatory at all and we had a great time. They are always welcome at my shop.

    I watched a Sharmelon vid the other day where she was clearing out an old house she bought in Japan, and there was what looked to be a vintage Superman bin or umbrella stand. From the look of it, I wouldn't be surprised if it was from the 60's or even earlier.
