I'll come see y'all one day. You are 3h 55m away. Right now my back can't handle that drive.
Hope to see you when your back is feeling better.

Update.
The address is:
1328 Buford Highway, Suite 116, Buford GA 30518 (Some GPSs show it to be in Sugar Hill). It is in the same strip mall as Sears.
The phone number will be (770)271-0112. It wont be active till tomorrow.
As always the website is www.VideoGameTrader.com.
I will be there most of the time this week unpacking and shipping internet orders. If anyone wants to stop by and say hi, please feel free.

$52 for Medal of Honor Frontline for the GC... seriously? I assume that's a typo...
http://www.videogame...w/Sega/Genesis/
$40 for World of Illusion... sounds waaaay over
$55 for Jurassic Park on the Saturn...
Sorry, OP.... I think some of your prices are extremely wishful thinking based.
Good luck I guess
The gamecube game i need to update the price as it was inventoried last year, and it is New/Sealed. The Genesis game is brand new/ sealed that is why it is that price - gets $40 on ebay. Retail store prices are usually a little higher than online/ebay. The Jurassic Park is also sealed and is priced comparable to amazon prices.

Congratulations! Sounds like an exiciting time and a dream come true. While being up in NY is going to keep me from coming and showing support, I'll be rooting for a successful launch!
Thanks

Hey! I used to live in Buford, Not too far from the new Braves stadium on GA 20 and 85, Now i live near athens, but I work all over Hall,Gwinnett and Athens even in Atlanta from time to time, needless to say I will be visiting your store when I can. Where on Buford hwy will you be? That Plaza your shop will be in looks familar. Is it past where that Kmart is (still open?) on the right?
And thanks for opening this store! Play n trade closed there this year and now there is just 2 Gamestops there.
Any intellivision stuff there?
Actually there were 2 PnT stores in the area that closed. Seems lots of them have closed over the last few years. I have not seen a Kmart but we are in the same plaza as Sears.

Here is a picture of what our sign will look like on our space.

Hello everyone,
Within a week or two Video Game Trader will be opening a new store in Burford, GA. We are in the final stages of securing our space on Buford Highway. We will be selling video games from the 1970's to today, with an emphasis on the retro games and consoles. In our plans in also a Gaming area where we will have multiple flat screens and will hold weekly tournaments. This game center will probably open after Christmas.
We are planning a grand opening party, but would have limited room (fire regulations). So if you would like to attend this invitation only event, please private message me. You can also email me at vgtradernj at gmail dot com
If you are part of a band that can play video game themes and mixes, or DJ and want some free exposure, please contact me as we may have live music.
We will also be giving away coupons and copies of our magazine. We will be treating this like a mini video game expo, so feel free to bring some fodder to sell and trade.
If all goes well, we will hold events like this monthly, or quarterly.
Thanks,
Tom Sansone

Hi,
I am looking to buy any and all video games form the NES to todays current consoles. I am located in Brick NJ. Please keep in mind that we are resellers so I can't pay retail. But I am capable of buying fairly large collections and rare items.
The list of what I am looking to buy is large, so please allow me to list what I am not looking for.
* Anything pre-NES ( I know this is an Atari forum, but I figure most people that collect Atari, also collect other platforms as well)
* A collection of all sports games. (I not looking to take all of your cheap games. However i understand that a good percentage of a collection might be these games)
* Anything really BIG. What do I mean by big? Rock Band Drum Sets, Arcade consoles, basically anything that can't be shipped easily.
* No Guitars. I already have a storage unit full of them
I will travel for large collections (more than 50 pieces). Otherwise I will ask that you come to me or agree to ship me the items. For items that are shipped I prefer to be able to use a company check, but would be willing to use paypal or some other kind of escrow service.
You can call me at 732-573-6484 or email me at [email protected] I wouldn't PM me here as I don't check messages that frequently.
I will monitor this thread in case you have questions or comments.
Oh, and please check out our new site and let us know what you think. www.VideoGameTrader.com
Thanks,
Tom
PS. We also buy the following items: NEW Toys and Action Figures; New Board Games; Apple hardware (iphone, ipad, ipods); DVDs and Blu-Rays; empty case (PS2, PS3,GameCube, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360)

Just to let people know I'm afraid I won't be at the show.. I'm very sorry about this. You are welcome to give my table to whoever needs it.. as I've already paid for a table, I hope it can be given away to someone who needs it for free.
The main reason is it's Friday the 15th, the show is approaching very soon. I am working on wood Atari 2600 cartridges for a limited edition release. I !!!still!!! don't even have a prototype and I was hoping to have it last month! Due to some family emergency with the wood carver, it's been delayed. He keeps giving me dates, but I don't have a prototype even shipped to me yet.
While I have other stuff to sell (classic video game related artwork) and my friend has classic video game stuff to sell, the cartridges were the main thing.. the bread and butter so to speak.
OK VENDORS!!
I had a vendor drop out at the last minute (other than 'yuppicide' - see above) so I have two tables left. If anyone was on the fence about coming, now is your chance!
Normally we were pricing the tables at $30 each. But what I will do is auction them off. The highest bidder (up to $60 total) gets them.
PM me your bids by end of business Thursday. Thanks!! (and if anyone wants yuppicide's table, let me know)

This looks pretty nice. I especially like the technology behind Metal Warrior 4:
This is a port of my 2003 C64 game "Metal Warrior 4 - Agents of Metal" that runs on GBA. It runs by creating a sort of virtual machine enviroment (6510 CPU and SID sound chip emulation) with API hooks for the rest of the stuff like graphics & file access.Hope I can order this online from you guys sometime!
I believe Good Deal Games will be selling them. We will have 12 at the show.

GDG’s Homebrew Heaven is proud to announce the latest in retro-programming for the Game Boy Advance. The HomeBrew GamePack is a celebration of the best of independent development and publishing. Packing nine full games into this collection is a steal at just over four(+) bucks per game. This collection contains something for everyone! Enjoy the free-roaming SHMUP AstroHawk, the After Burner inspired Bogey6, and two puzzle games Codename: Hacker and GEMini. If you like Mappy, you’ll appreciate ScanBoy and MoonQuake will remind you of Bomberman. The platformer Wonkie Guy will have you laughing out loud as he does things with his head that Mario would never dream of doing. Metal Warriors 4 unravels an elaborate written action story and then help Lindsi Luna Blast men in black and raging zombies!
This game will be released in VERY LIMITED quantiy at the Video Game Trader Expo. The expo will have 12 copies on hand at $40 each.

Hello all,
At the Video Game Trader Expo, everyone will have a chance to "bid" on some great gaming goodness at the Chinese Auction.
Here's how it works. Your paid admission gets you tickets (you can also purchase more tickets at the ticket booth). You can then use these tickets to "bid" on the items you want. Each ticket is one bid. Each hour, we will randomly select a ticket and call out that number. Whomever has the ticket, is the winner. Please note that you must be present to win.
The following items are confirmed at the Chinese Auction:
1) Bakugan Battle Brawlers (Brand New & Sealed) for the Nintendo DS
2) Fail Safe (Brand New Homebrew Release) w/ instruction manual for the Atari 7800
3) Suicide Mission (Complete in box) for the Atari 2600 Supercharger
4) FC Mobile II (Brand New in box) Mobile NES Game System
5) Xbox Game Manager by APC
Don't forget, we are also raffling off a brand new Playstation 3 system, and we have a special raffle planned for Pre-Registration.
Stay tuned for more Chinese auction items.
-
I'll be there.. your pre registration is a good deal indeed. $20 bucks get you entrance, raffle ticket, 13 chinese auction tickets, and 1 year subscription to magazine!
I'd like to register for a table.. are they still available? ... I think I'd like to debut one of my new Atari 2600 games at the show! It's only Aug 1st.. can I still get the prepay rate? I'd have paid yesterday had I seen this. I can also come early and help you guys setup AND my friend might be available to help also.
You are in luck. I didn't change any of the paypal links yet so it will still let you pay at the $20 rate. However, I am going to change these ASAP. If you are going to release a game at the show, please give me details so I can promote that.
Thanks.

Just wanted to say that the cover is timely. One thing looks out of place though, in the upper right area, that little blue spaceship. Looks cool though.
Thanks for the compliment. It means a lot.

I have two items up for auction of interest.
1. I have a 100% complete copy of Shuttle Orbiter for the Atari 2600 by Avalon Hill. I have not seen a boxed copy in a long time.
eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110524734486
2. I have King Kong for Atari 2600 by Tigervision (cart only) listed.
eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110524731353
Both of these are 7 day auctions.
Also, I took pics of the Shuttle Orbiter manual pages since Atari Age does not have them in the Rarity Database. But I can't see how to contribute them. Anyone have an idea?

Our temporary sign (banner) is now up. The real sign should be up in a week or two. Next week i should be in the store everyday packing orders and setting up fixtures. If anyone wants to stop buy, feel free. We already had a few visitors from NintendoAge.
