      I always go to they Game X Change and Goodwill in Cookeville TN but I’m new to collecting. The last time I went to goodwill I found a $25 Wii and Twilight princess for $6. The Wii had Smash Bros Brawl in it.

      If you're ever in Central Jersey, you need to check out Retro Classics in Somerville, and right up the block from them is a place called Yestercades, which is one of those retro arcade places where you pay by the hour

      It's sad that there aren't really any game stores in Nashville. There are a couple record stores that have games but they don't price things right. And no the other Game Trader isn't in Nashville, it's in Hendersonville.

      Also as far as I know there are only two youtubers in the Nashville area; Cinema Sins and Hickok45. So they don't seed our Goodwills with games or electronics stuff. It all goes to the online store and gets bid unreasonably high.

    I used to work at a store called Media Rerun in Murfreesboro and we did games,music, instruments etc, and it was always cool how all the stores would send customers to each other; it always felt like a community and never that we were against each other. It was always just awesome helping everyone get what they wanted. Love everyone at both of those stores, nothing but kind words!
