Ohio CAGs...UNITE!

[CYRiX]

Hey any CAGs from O-H-I-O? If so lets discuss all local(er) dealers here. I live in a suburb off of columbus. We can also discuss garage sales for charites and churches and such.


So anyone from OHIO?

[quasicat]

Right here in Piqua, about a half hour from Dayton. I'll keep an eye out for the locals.

Is there anyone else?

[Jerdogg123]

IM from the south side of columbus.

[markholladay]

I live In Cincinnati, this is a good idea by the way

[shipwreck]

There's a lot of CAG's from Ohio. I live in southwest Columbus, but I work in Cincinnati so my shopping radius covers a large portion of the state. :)

[jeffreyjrose]

I'm originally from New Bremen... but currently attending the University of Cincinnati, so I'm down here pretty much year round now.

[GameDude]

do you drive like 2 hours everyday?

[shipwreck]

do you drive like 2 hours everyday?

It's more around 1.5 hours each way, but I stay in Cincinnati one night a week and I get Friday's off. So I only actually make the roundtrip 3 times a week.

[gamemasterjd]

im in south columbus near downtown. not much in the way of deals round here...go bucks

[Dingleberry]

<3

[thorbahn3]

Newark, Ohio in the house. So does anyone go to video trader/trading zone?

[Blustrk98]

Cleveland here, over.

[Serialkilla]

Around Findlay here. Not a bad location, I'm about 1 1/2 hours away from Columbus to the south and Toledo to the north.

[Dark Slayer120]

New Lexington Ohio. . . doubt any one has heard of it as it is a small town.

[WTPolaris]

I live in Dayton right now, but I'm actually moving to Cincinnati at the end of this month to attend UC. Been in state here for about 5 years now, Dayton's a pretty fun town.

[Unassuming Local Guy]

Toledo here.

[radjago]

Right here in a suburb East of Dayton. I'll keep an eye out for the locals.

Is there anyone else?
I live in Fairborn.

[galvatron2k1]

[bigjon1805]

Cincinnati here!

[Reality's Fringe]

Location Is Mystery.

[Z-Saber]

Hamilton/Fairfield, about 20 minutes north of Cincy.

[thealternakid]

Guess i should sound off as well, Here is Columbus right under Westerville, going to good old Otterbein

a place that sometimes has good stuff is Buybacks on 161
found spiderman 2 for ds for 9.99 a couple months after it came out, i needed games so i bought it up, not a bad game for ten bucks, wouldve been better for 5

[js1]

toledo here!

[raregamergirl]

Reynoldsburg, OH here (little suburb right outside of Columbus). does anyone here go to any of the following locally owned and operated stores:

Press Start Gaming- On 256 in Pickerington

Video Game Music Xchange- Schrock Road location or Smokey Row location

Rick's Video Trader- Brice Outlet Mall off of Brice Rd.

Columbus is a great place for cheap gaming goodness, lots of Mom and Pop stores and there are a ton of Eb's and Gamestop's within a 25 minute drive.

[jtkauff]

Guess i should sound off as well, Here is Columbus right under Westerville, going to good old Otterbein

An Otterbein alum here, though I'm a bit more north now - Ashland/Mansfield area. Make it down to Columbus a decent amount.

[thealternakid]

that is odd, jtkauff, i don't know anyone in ashland/mansfield, well except my family..... say hi to mom for me

[Sofa King Cheap]

I'm your "neighbor" in Pickerington. Last "Mom and Pop" store I visited was back in the late '90s. Somewhere near Hamilton Road/Morse Road in Gahanna at a plaza by the movie theatre. I try to stick to online deals because the thrill of the hunt of shopping for B&M deals is long gone for me (unless I know for sure if a game is in stock and/or it won't be a wasted trip). Circling I-270 searching for that last Saturn or Dreamcast game to fill out my collection just doesn't sound as fun as it use to anymore.

If want a game bad enough I would be willing to pay top $$$ somewhere online as my time is more valueable to me these days than searching blindly. Besides, who knows, maybe when I'm looking for a game on the road I could be missing out on a deal online?

[botticus]

Looks like I got the east side of Cleveland all to myself here in Mayfield.

[Cuzza40]

OSU Campus area, Columbus.

[eshbums]

North end of Columbus here - about a 3 minute drive to the old Northland Mall Gamestop (anyone remember when Gold Circle was in the parking lot?) and Easton. I'm officially in Clinton Township, but it's affectionately known as Little Somalia about 2 blocks away from my house.

I work in Hilliard, so I'll hit up Tuttle once in a while too.

[Tmorg]

Live in Hamilton....work in Cincinnati.

[Cindaddy]

Northern Cincinnati.

[mykevermin]

There are a lot of CAGs in Hamil-tucky, aren't there?

[scp89]

Galloway/Hilliard/Columbus whatever you want to call it...Westpointe Video Games in front of the Wallie World on Rome-Hilliard Road...VGMX and the old CD Warehouse stores are cool...

the WestPointe VG has all their DVD's etc new releases etc 14.98 everyday...cheapest you'll find...

[heinzster]

I live around the Euclid Area, just Outside of Cleveland

[mmercer13]

Zanesville, here.

[Venome227]

Here in Solon, south of Cleveland but still considered the east side. Oficially the lamest suburb of Cleveland.

[tgk2044]

TIFFIN....soon to be Toledo though

[botticus]

Here in Solon, south of Cleveland but still considered the east side. Oficially the lamest suburb of Cleveland.
Haha... but you have the nearest Kmart for Blue Light specials, so it could be worse. And I get to stop at Rockne's for dinner whenever I go down there.

[schnuth]

Another Toledo CAG here. So who all frequents Allied Records? They overprice the RPGs these days, but I've gotten some killer deals there over the years. A few months back I found a complete Raiden Project for $2.50.

schnuth

[punqsux]

who's from cleveland? we have a pittsburgh thread going and we want to know who we're makingfun of ;)

schnuth

I used to go to allied all the time, they used to have some really killer deals... sometimes they still do, but not so much in the games area anymore.

Also, from Toledo btw

[The Truth]

Steubenville here :)

[botticus]

who's from cleveland? we have a pittsburgh thread going and we want to know who we're makingfun of ;)
Haha... I've only been in Cleveland for 6 years, so I don't even like the Browns (go Lions!), but I'll still say that Roethlisberger sucks. One of my roommates was from Erie, so I generated plenty of hate for Pittsburgh as a result.

[Z-Saber]

So, Tmorg and mykevermin, what areas of Hamilton are we talking about? I live in a subdivision in Fairfield Township (technically still Hamilton) off of Princeton Rd.

[Drensch]

Video Game Music Xchange- Schrock Road location or Smokey Row location

I'm kinda tight with the owner of those stores.

[TheYellowDart]

dayton/kettering area.

[Unassuming Local Guy]

Blah. I can't stand looking through the glass cases to see what they have. It isn't that bad for games but browsing for used CDs is horrible. It makes me wish Boogie Records was still around.

[js1]

I still go to allied all the time,(been going since they 1st opened the 1st store on secor) I still get decent deals there.

I got starfox assult complete for 14.00 like a couple of months ago.

I also agree about wishing boogie records was still around.

Looks like we got a decent amount of toledo CAG'ers!

[Unassuming Local Guy]

I still go to allied all the time, I still get decent deals there, I got starfox assult complete for 14.00 like a couple of months ago. I agree about wishing boogie records was still around.

I should stop there again some time. The Allied comments here have brought back some memories of good deals... like Puzzle Fighter for Playstation for something like $15. Parappa for $5. I just don't like the atmosphere, but I suppose it's no worse than an EB or Gamestop.

[Genocidal]

Looks like I got the east side of Cleveland all to myself here in Mayfield.

I'm rocking the east side right now on campus at Case. In the off-season though, I'm in Cuyahoga Falls, just north of Akron.

I got suikoden I, star ocean(ps1) both complete for like $10 each. I remember when some guy told me he got snatcher(complete) + the justifier light gun for under $5! :drool: that's the type of deal that I need to find!

[botticus]

I'm rocking the east side right now on campus at Case. In the off-season though, I'm in Cuyahoga Falls, just north of Akron.
Haha, no shit? Here I thought that improbably there were no other Case CAGs. Luckily I only pretend to work on my thesis so I don't have to go on campus anymore.

[jousley]

Im in Williamsburg Ohio, just outside of Cincinnati.

[thesilentshadow30]

Ohio here...
Columbus / Circleville / Lancaster
I live between them...

[takingchase]

Akron here

anyone know any good places to shop in the area? Only places I know are the record exchanges in montrose and canton.

[daroga]

Medina here (inbetween Akron & Cleveland), though I'm in Wisconsin for school right now. One of my favorite places to go in the area is The Exchange (they have them all over the greater Cleveland area). There's also a quirky little shop in Parma, near Parmatown mall (by an old theater maybe?). A BUNCH of classic stuff. Nothing real cheap, but it's fun to browse. :)

daroga

[megashock5]

Powell, Ohio here. Northwest suburb of Columbus.

[Scobie]

Haha... I've only been in Cleveland for 6 years, so I don't even like the Browns (go Lions!), but I'll still say that Roethlisberger sucks. One of my roommates was from Erie, so I generated plenty of hate for Pittsburgh as a result.

Cleveland used to be a pretty fun town, but these days I've gotta say Pittsburgh is cooler... The Warhol museum and the fact that George Romero still haunts Pittsburgh and sets all his zombie movies there pushes it over the top. Plus you don't always feel like you're about to get ganked when you're walking in Pittsburgh.

Anyway, I grew up in Youngstown but left years ago... that place is a pit.

It's been fun to read this thread and hear all the town names I remember from growing up, though! :)

[Graystone]

West Dayton. been here my whole life want to try someplace new.

[Ronin4223]

Newport, Ky here. My house is literally blocks from the ohio river and Cincinnati.

[Doom Gaze]

Niles, about an hour from Cleveland.

[Genocidal]

Akron here

anyone know any good places to shop in the area? Only places I know are the record exchanges in montrose and canton.

At the Chapel Hill area, in the plaza next to Best Buy/Target (The one with Staples in it) there's an Exchange. That's the only non chain store I can recall off the top of my head that I've frequented that still sells video games. Unfortunately, Game Trader in Cuyahoga Falls was bought by a new owner again, and the first thing he did was sold off all the video game stuff, making the store focused on card games and D&D. some of the collection still may be at The Exchange, but I doubt there's anything good left.

Haha, no shit? Here I thought that improbably there were no other Case CAGs. Luckily I only pretend to work on my thesis so I don't have to go on campus anymore.

Yep, first year here for me, so I'm forced to stay on campus. thankfully classes aren't bad yet, so I've been avoiding the main quad for most of the day and just hanging out in my room :D

[mykevermin]

Newport, Ky here. My house is literally blocks from the ohio river and Cincinnati.

I'm in Mansion Hill. Yourself?

[ZeroTolerance]

Work in Cinci but live just north of Middletown.

[CYRiX]

Sweet so many people here are from OHIO. Yeah I live in dublin (suburb off of OHIO) and go to VGMX in powell frequently. I have been to a trading zone (in a carriage place shopping thing?) but they normally don't have much stuff I like...

Seems like everyone lives around cleveland, columbus, or cincinnati.

[RandomNPC]

Looks like I got the east side of Cleveland all to myself here in Mayfield.

I live in Mayfield too. Looks like you're sharing. :)

[botticus]

I live in Mayfield too. Looks like you're sharing. :)
Ah well... at least someone else to bitch about how worthless BB and CC are!

If you only knew... good luck! Started there in good ol' 99, probably never actually gonna leave. But at least I got one degree. You in CS or somethin else?

[Chris Dillon]

Amherst Comet here which is on the west side of cleveland but not a suburb. Actually i live near lorain but go comet basketball cause our football team is problaby out of the playoffs and i play bball for us.

[Genocidal]

If you only knew... good luck! Started there in good ol' 99, probably never actually gonna leave. But at least I got one degree. You in CS or somethin else?

Close enough, I'm a CE. This SAGES bullshit they pushed on all of us freshman sucks ass.

[Staind204]

I'm right inbetween Dayton and Cincy. Anyone hear of Franklin?

[nnthomas]

How about them Nazis, Toledoans?

[nnthomas]

Another Toledo CAG here. So who all frequents Allied Records? They overprice the RPGs these days, but I've gotten some killer deals there over the years. A few months back I found a complete Raiden Project for $2.50.

schnuth

I usually check out the Allied in Miracle Mile, but noticed they've been very lacking so I haven't really checked in a while.

[js1]

How about them Nazis, Toledoans?

That was sad, and crazy. Makes living on the east side look a whole lot better... :lol:

[nnthomas]

I was at a friends at the time, so I had front row seats.

[js1]

I usually check out the Allied in Miracle Mile, but noticed they've been very lacking so I haven't really checked in a while.

I've been there only one time and it sucked..

[nnthomas]

It's not as big as the other Allied I was at (near the DMV), but I found some nice things there (Xenogears $10, FFT $10, DW7 $8, etc), so it's worth the usual glance to see what they have.

[schnuth]

I should stop there again some time. The Allied comments here have brought back some memories of good deals... like Puzzle Fighter for Playstation for something like $15. Parappa for $5. I just don't like the atmosphere, but I suppose it's no worse than an EB or Gamestop.

Except Gamestop or EB dosen't play god awful music that makes you want to stab out your eyeballs with an icepick. ;) I also agree Boogie Records is missed. It used to be the best record store in Toledo. Now you have to deal with the huge corporate stores, and the numbskulls at Allied.

schnuth

[schnuth]

I've gotten so many nice deals there over the years. Especially back when they had no idea what stuff was worth. I remember one trip walking out of there with a top-load NES, and a bunch of Sega CD RPGs (Lunar, Vay, Popful Mail) for a song. Unfortunately they are better informed these days, but you can still find the occasional deal that slips through. This was especially cool when they had all their LPs for $1 each a few years ago. I sure miss those days.

schnuth

It's not all bad, they throw on some good tracks now and then.

[js1]

Yeah, some the music is crazy. I wish that they didn't have to play it so freakin loud. And the deal are getting way hard to find also, but I still go in hopes of finding something...

[radjago]

I'm right inbetween Dayton and Cincy. Anyone hear of Franklin?Yeah, right where the Dayton Daily News presses are.

[CYRiX]

lol I heard about that nazi thing, sounded strange and out of place to me.

[ZeroTolerance]

I'm right inbetween Dayton and Cincy. Anyone hear of Franklin?

Nice that is where I live as well. Another Franklin CAG nice!

[quasicat]

Here in Solon, south of Cleveland but still considered the east side. Oficially the lamest suburb of Cleveland.


So that's where Solon is. I am the new coach of our Science Olympiad team and have an invitational there like in 6 months. I had no idea how far that was since I am coming from the Dayton/Tipp City area.

What is that like 4 hours?

[scottkirschman]

Live in Columbus. Just joined tonight.

CAG seems very cool.

Scott.

[KrazyKefka]

I live in Ohio, in Marietta. Not that I expect anyone to know where that is though.

[Genocidal]

Exit 1 on I-77, I know right where it is ;)

Yes indeedy. You get a cookie.

[LaraCroftsLeftBoob]

Hillsboro- aka "BFE" about 50 miles east of cincy, and about 45-60 min north of kenmucky.

anyone buckeye fans? i am and they aren't doing to well...

[Cornfedwb]

Might as well post, Independence, small southerly suburb of Cleveland

[bignastyogre]

Niles, about an hour from Cleveland.

I, too, am from Niles.

[Labombadog]

Im from Cleveland, Ohio.

w00t! :)

[botticus]

Here's a question: Other than the very few (countable on one hand) EBs that still carry classic games, are there any other stores in the Cleveland area that you can get NES or SNES games at? Not sure if the CD/Game Exchange places sell those or not.

[MumblyP]

No dayton Blows.

I live in Kettering, near fairborn and dayton.
-PW

[Dingleberry]

ooo...another kettering

[bballplaya210]

Westerville here

[Genocidal]

I know The Exchange down here in Akron does, and I know there was one that recently closed/moved on Cedar... haven't checked out the CD/Game Exchange on Coventry yet. If I get time after classes one day I'll go check it out and let you know.

[MightySlacker]

Windham OH. Nothing here, but about 20 miles from everywhere. I seem to have most of NE Ohio to myself, especially the Kent/Stow area.

And you Niles guys need to pick it up - I just found a mint Arc Collection at EB that was apparently there for quite some time

Dave

[botticus]

I know The Exchange down here in Akron does, and I know there was one that recently closed/moved on Cedar... haven't checked out the CD/Game Exchange on Coventry yet. If I get time after classes one day I'll go check it out and let you know.
Thanks. Wandered around Coventry for 5 years, and never went in that store, for whatever reason. Thanks for checking.

[Dreday]

I'm from Columbus, Ohio, westside.

[Dead of Knight]

I'm at OSU FTW.

[Kulock]

Near Columbus myself, got introduced to the site during the start of the Circuit City $5 sale. I didn't realize it was going to be as active as it was (I thought I'd look like an idiot there with my list, but I was quite wrong). As it was, though, had the ByteSizeDeals list, which was quite different and lacked some of the cooler games, so a CAG lent me his list and helped me look for a few, to be nice. (But not before he grabbed the only copy of ZoE2 they had, which I picked up but set back down because it wasn't on my BSD list. Haven't seen it that cheap since, man did that hurt. ;D)

This site's great, but it's also conditioned me to avoid picking up hardly ANY games at their regular asking prices. Heck, I was cringing on buying We Love Katamari for the full $29.99 once it came out.

[nnthomas]

I'M GOING TO KILL ANY TOLEDO PEOPLE WHO TAKE MY TRU GAMES!

The one on Alexis is MINE!

Just sayin'.

[Reality's Fringe]

Still no Cags in my area. I do, however, see Fatwalleters around here. I don't take kindly to their type.

[Dreday]

About to head out to the Toys R Us on West Broad St. in Columbus, I'll scope out what they have for the B2G1 Free Sale.

[Unassuming Local Guy]

I'M GOING TO KILL ANY TOLEDO PEOPLE WHO TAKE MY TRU GAMES!

The one on Alexis is MINE!

Just sayin'.

Go for it. I just wait until those $50 games are cheaper than the B2G1 price.

[spideymike]

Thanks. Wandered around Coventry for 5 years, and never went in that store, for whatever reason. Thanks for checking.

I've seen plenty of decent deals on games at the local Exchanges. The one in North Olmsted and Parma Heights are not bad at all and sometimes even better than EB.

[stripespbj]

Dont know if anybody cares but I saw Outlaw Golf 2 at Kmart in Seven Hills for 5.99 if anybody wanted to pick it up.

[js1]

Go for it. I just wait until those $50 games are cheaper than the B2G1 price.

I agree, I will wait for most of these games to come down.(have too many as is to play/finish) Now most of you guys know that you won't even finish those games(maybe not even open them) and by time you do they will be $20 or less, and you will have cag remorse. Because you know you could have waited and got it way cheaper!

[nnthomas]

I've got plenty of time to waste.

[Blustrk98]

West Columbus (Galloway) CML ohio CAG'rs

[Trebuken]

Lot of us cheapskates living on the West SW (Galloway) side of Columbus....

Should we make a list of gaming stores in the area; those Clevlanders, Daytonans, and Cincinnatians might wanna' make a road trip?

P.S. - How many of you are retrogamers?

I'll be down there eventually... fiancee has a friend working at the children's hospital in Cincy, and I've got a few friends in med school at OSU. And some family down in German Village. Nice place there.

Heh, that depends on what you consider retro.

[Dead of Knight]

Of course I don't have a car cause I'm a freshman on the OSU campus, so the only real CAG B&M deals I can get are Target and EB, since they're right on the border of the campus.

[Ultimate Matt X]

I'm in Cambridge, I bet that's the most obscure place mentioned yet. :)

Newark person I know of that trading place, I've hit it up a few times.

[slimymeteor]

I live just north of Columbus. In a town called Sunbury.

Hopedale, Ohio.

About 15 minutes from Steubenville, Ohio :applause:

[Trebuken]

Heh, that depends on what you consider retro.

I think a good definition of retro would be : anything EB/Gamestop does not sell...

This effectively includes anything older than the PS1/N64 generation. They have discontinued the 16 bit stuff, will soon be sold out of it. I suppose used PC games would have to include anything not Windows XP ready.

Trebuken...

[jezebelseven]

Englewood, Ohio here. Which is just to the NW of Dayton.

So count me in the Toledo bunch I guess =).

[nnthomas]

Toledo rox, simply put.

[nnthomas]

Do you think Allied Records will take anything I throw their way? I have a crapload of stuff I want to get rid of, and need to know what they won't take.

[Genocidal]

Finally went and checked out Cd/Game Exchange in Coventry... don't waste your time botticus. They had no selection and everything was way overpriced.

[js1]

Do you think Allied Records will take anything I throw their way? I have a crapload of stuff I want to get rid of, and need to know what they won't take.

As long as it looks decent with no scratches etc.. I saw someone trade in a crap load of sega cd and genesis stuff, and get like forty something... I was tempted to cut in and buy the stuff myself!

[nnthomas]

Yeah, I want to get rid of these N64, SNES, NES, Genny games along with a bunch of other crap. I bought too many games and just want to get rid of it period. I could post what I have if anyone is interested, but I'm not really in the mood to make deals, just want to get it out of my house.

[nnthomas]

Alright, I'll make a list of everything I plan on getting rid of

Forewarning: It's garbage. I kept most of the good stuff ;d

[nnthomas]

I was gonna post it on here as-is, but I figured I'd keep it in a neat txt file

I'll leave it up for the next few days, after that it's off to the store

I live in West Chester but I'm thinking about moving back to Michigan soon.

I live in a suburb of Cleveland.

[TheCandyman]

I'm on the west side of Cleveland.

[jollydwarf]

Rumor has it I've seen a couple of LeBron's high school games. I might have spent a year or six down in Columbus, too.

[Aoi]

Evening. First post after lurking around here for quite some time. I'm in Columbus, the Victorian Village area south of campus to be more accurate.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but speaking of Retro gaming, when EB at City Center moved to South Campus gateway, a new game store took its place. It goes by the name of Haven Games and they have 2600, NES, SNES, Saturn and Dreamcast titles (in addition to current gen), as well as quite a few retro systems in the case for sale (including a Super Pong, among others). Just figured this might catch someones interest. Still no 360's to be found in town though :P

[ave1]

Okay, I'm currently living in Plain City (work in Dublin) on the west side of Columbus. I've lived around OSU campus area in the past as well as Reynoldsburg area. . . so I've been all over Columbus looking high and low for games for the past 11 or 12 years. My best find was a classic Atari 2600 one-of-a-kind prototype (The Pink Panther) in a thrift store on Parsons Avenue back in 1992. There have been some other great classic game finds, but I have mainly been doing the CAG thing, lately, with PS2, GC, Xbox, DS, and PSP retail store searching.

In the past few years I've lived in Daytonesque towns like Greenville, Centerville, Cedarville, and Springfield. I've also lived in Fremont and Lima before, but not for very long (<2 years). . . Well, anyway, do I win the Ohio award?

How are their prices on the retro stuff? Reasonable?

[Aoi]

I'm not sure actually. I've mostly went in to look around and didn't actually notice prices on a lot of the stuff oddly enough. Just went in out of curiosity the other day. I go in about once a week to poke around the bookstore, I'll give the prices a look when I do. My only real disappointment is that the Saturn selection of games is nothing but rubbish. Pretty much just sports titles. They do have the systems with two controllers for $30 which strikes me as decent.

[spideymike]

Btw, the Exchange store in Parma Heights has some nice used game deals. I picked up mint used copies of Secret Weapons Over Normandy for $10 and Area 51 for $15 for Xbox. They also had Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis used for $10 (it's $29.99 at Gamestop used). I saw quite a few other decent prices including PoP:SOT for $10, Mercenaries for $10 (slightly scratched) and mint for $15. I didn't check for PS2 since I don't have that game system.

[spideymike]

I stopped back by Exchange on Sunday and Jurassic Park:OG for Xbox is sold out. Anyone from here snag it?

Yeah, my gf just told me that some guy she works at was able to pick one up at Target.

I'm still too poor for one!

[spideymike]

Btw, in case you're out and about for the TRU sale in NE Ohio, I checked out Elyria, North Olmsted, Parmatown, and Fairlawn TRU stores this morning. Parmatown and Fairlawn were out of RE4. Elyria and N. Olmsted had some earlier this morning (about 5 copies each), but they might be out by now. None of the stores had Conker, and I got the last Pirates game at the Elyria store.

[radjago]

The Springfield, OH TRU had a decent selection of $10 games. The ones I can remember off the top of my head:

XBox:
Amped 2
Doom 3
Conker
Dragon Ball Z Sagas
Fatal Frame II
Karaoke Revolution
Gungriffon
Pariah
Pirates!
Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow
Raze's Hell

[spideymike]

Amped 2 was one of the ones I wanted, but the 4 stores I went to in NE Ohio didn't carry it. :cry: Oh well...

[scp89]

i'd be up for some TRU GBA games like FF1&2, DKC2, AdvanceWars2...if someone would be kind enough...none here near me...

I have an extra xbox360Premium new with Receipt if someone in Columbus OH needs one for Xmas gift...PM me..

Hey, when did you stop in there? I was there last night at around 7:30 or soPM and everything was pretty much gone save for some GBA games.

[WTPolaris]

For those that are interested to know, the TRU next to the Eastgate Mall here had some good stuff still as of yesterday evening(but be ready to brave some serious traffic, it's an absolute nightmare anywhere near the mall or on 32.)

I just snagged things I knew I would play, but if anyone wants me to go check on other things for them, I can.

I know for a fact there were no less than 20 or so FF1and2's, a couple RE4's, some more Pikmin 2, A Virtua Quest, Metal Slug for GBA, Golden Sun The Lost Age(which I might go grab now if it's still there) and some others(I don't have an xbox, so I didn't bother looking for things for that.

[spideymike]

Btw, my local TRU still had a copy or two of Advance Wars 2 for GBA.

[radjago]

Hey, when did you stop in there? I was there last night at around 7:30 or soPM and everything was pretty much gone save for some GBA games.
It was earlier in the day, around 5 or so.

[spideymike]

Parmatown TRU still had about 6 copies of Geist in case you may be looking.

[jousley]

Just to let you fellow Cincinnati/ Northern KY CAGers know, as of last night, they had 5 copies of Guitar Hero in the Best Buy in Florence KY at the old price of $69.99. I drove there from Clermont County to get one and I have to say, that game is AWESOME! Get it while you can.

[Labombadog]

I was just at Great Northerns TRU and they really didnt have much, they had 4-5 copies of Geist, 3-4 copies of GG:Isuka(xbox), 2-3 copies of Xenosaga and alot of FF: DOS for the GBA and some copies of Feel the Magic for the DS.

I was disapointed to find no Metroid Prime 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 there. :(

you'll have to keep me posted on the what you have in stock when TRU has good deals going on, so i'll know if i should head there. i only live about 45-60 min from eastgate.

You didn't happen to be working the morning that the $10 sale started did you?

[scp89]

TRU on W. Broad St in Columbus is one of the stores closing...

[Tcjody]

Boardman/Youngstown area here.

[radjago]

I stopped in the Beavercreek, OH Circuit City to check out the clearance. They had a bin full of stuff but most of it was $13.99 and $9.99. Looks like they cleared all the games on the list from the shelves pretty well.

BTW, Graystone... That TRU you were talking about that closed. Was that the Salem store? I haven't been there for about a year, but I remember there being a pretty good selection of clearance for last year's green tag sale.

[jousley]

Hey, I'm new here I live in Batavia

Welcome. I used to work in the R Zone in that same store a few years ago. I've got some great stories about that place.

[shipwreck]

TRU on W. Broad St in Columbus is one of the stores closing...

What a surprise. I live near that area and now I'm going to be without an immediate Toys R Us, Media Play, or Circuit City. The Blockbuster near there closed as well and so did the Coconuts a few years back.

[jcp4322]

I live in eastgate, off clough pike, keep in updated on any deals.

[tilcfast]

Anybody find any good deals at the W. Broad TRU in Colubmus?

[Cindaddy]

Which TRU in Cincinnati is closing?

[hegemonyhog]

Columbus, OH here.

I'm a big fan of the strip down Morse Road and the Buybacks on 161. In one day, I found Arc the Lad Collection (Complete), Shadow Hearts, Saiyuki: Journey West, Suikoden II, Suikoden Tactics, Vandal Hearts II and Star Ocean: Second Story, and came out spending less than $100.

Yes, Columbus is a good, good place.

[Cpt Hooks]

I live in Mansfield. Which is right in the middle of Columbus and Cleveland.

[thesilentshadow30]

Anyone know if the TRU at Hamilton & Groves Rd ( near Eastland Mall in Columbus) is going to be closing???

[Benisjamin]

You didn't happen to be working the morning that the $10 sale started did you?

Yeah I was working then and we didn't have a list of the games that were on sale and we only had a few people who knew about sale come in.

Welcome. I used to work in the R Zone in that same store a few years ago. I've got some great stories about that place.
No way that's awesome! Please share some stories.

[m3talst0rm]

Hi, I am new here as well. I live in Lucasville/Portsmouth, OH. It is about 2 hours south of Columbus (23) and 1 hour 45min east of Cincy...Looks like I am the only one from this area. Not a suprise since, like the guy from hillsboro, this place is BFE.

I found this site through RF Generation http://www.rfgeneration.com, with the big TRU deal. So I got up and left at 6 in the morning to go to the TRUs in Columbus...I got a load of games at the TRU on W. Broad. RE4, The Legend of Zelda 4 Swords, Wario Ware (GBA and GC), FZero, Pikmin 2, Advance Wars 2, and Metal Slug Adv....This was the best deals (on brand new games) that I have ever found....I love this site.


TRU on W. Broad St in Columbus is one of the stores closing...
Anyway...this is sad, but does anyone know if there is anything worth making a 2 hour treck to get? Or is the place cleaned out?

I go to Eastgate as often as I make it up to columbus (Not very often).....I was wondering if you had any of the 9.99 games left?

[Trebuken]

TRU on West Broad St. had an ordinary selection of games. Nothing to get excited for at 10% off though. If you have a DS or PSP though, they did have a bunch of cool accessopries (30% off I think).

West Broad Street is turning into a wasteland. I haven't been to the flea market in a while (my spanish isn't that good), so I am not sure if anyone still sells games there, Gamestop is wiped out after the holdays (they did have some dirt cheap N-Gage games for the two fans of the system though).

Buybacks, EB at Geogersville Sq. seem to be my local haunts to the south (Buybacks has done some reorganizing in the last couple weeks, had some preowned 360 games out).

West Pointe Video Games and the Hilliard EB Games are my haunts to the North of Broad Street.

Brandon's Video Games is in the middle, but it's virtually empty of inventory now, occassionally you can find a new release a bit cheaper than you would at EB though.

Now and then I journey to Video Games Express in Grove City. Nothing to exciting, but it's the only place I can find anything pre-ps1 anymore..

Later,
Trebuken

Well, depending out how good the backroom right behind the R-Zone Cash register has been cleaned over the past few years, there WAS a mint sealed copy of Lunar 2 for PSone in there hidden. It was like a joke we had going..to see how long it would stay there. Walk into the room and go back, past the staircase and straight back the shelving there, get down and check under the bottom shelf on the floor under there. It was wrapped in a paper towel. I always wondered if anyone had found that. :)
Also, once when I was working there, the manager told me to go upstairs in that room and clean up that freaking mess thats the upstairs room above R Zone. I go up there and there were all these old TVs they had out for demos and some old systems. He told me to bring them all down and since it was getting close to Memorial Day, he was going to give them out to the employees at the cookout here were going to have on the back dock. I saw my chance and said "Well if I have to carry all that stuff down the stairs, do I get to just pick one TV and system out for myself to keep for doing it? He agreed. So as Im cleaning up that mess I found a GXTV..those pretty awesome small TVs with the swing out speakers and a built in subwoofer. I said "Ill take this one!" and he was cool with it. So I put that into my car. Then as Im going through all the other stuff up there, I found an Xbox that had no box or controller, but everything else with it. It still had the plastic protector sheet on top of it. Now this was within the first year the Xbox was out so it was still like $300. I look at him and say "Well..you DID say I could have a system I found up here...how about this?" he just shrugged and said "Sure...why not?" so I got a free Xbox and a free $350 TV that day. I gave the Xbox to my best friend on the condition he would buy Halo so I would have someone to link play with. Too bad that was about the only day that store manager was anywhere near cool.

I remember those GXTVs. They were only 13-14" IIRC, but they had shutters with speakers on either side of the screen that you could shut over the screen for storage or travel.

Oh, I found a picture.

I'll try and keep you up to date on both locations as I live in Columbus and work in the Cincinnati area. We actually ran into each other at the West Broad location that day. Glad to see you made out well, and even though you grabbed the last copy of Metal Slug Advance, I was able to pick it up at another location. :)

[dchadwell]

Yeah I was working then and we didn't have a list of the games that were on sale and we only had a few people who knew about sale come in.

Hah, yeah, I was one of them. I was probably the second guy there, and there was a girl that you checked out a head of me that morning.

Awesome though, welcome to CAG.

Holy crap that's awesome! All that's upstairs now is and old PSOne and some broken DK Bongos. I'm holding out for the XBOX 360 display, hopefully they'll get rid of that while I still work there. I'll be sure to check for Lunar 2 on Thursday, I'll definitely tell you if it's still there. Who did you work with there, were James and Ryan there?

James was there....no Ryan when I was there. We all got such a kick out of James the day he showed up with that convertible car of his with the Dolphins airbrushed on the back of it. Thats the funniest thing Ive ever seen!
James would always quote "The Princess Bride"..saying "Im Indeigo Montoyo...you killed my father...prepare to die"

[jkanownik]

If anyone collect NES/SNES carts and lives near Akron you may want to check out the Chapel Hill Exchange store. A guy traded in a crapload of good stuff yesterday. I'm not that up on what's valuable, but I did notice a boxed Super Mario RPG and Final Fantasy III.

I live in Youngstown, near Warren, anyone know any good trade-in stores or places I can pick up stuff to trade in to FYE? If you close to where I do, the Circuit City by the Eastwood Mall has some good stuff in their bargain bin thing, picked up PowerDrome for $1.50, went to FYE like right next door to CC, trade in for $9

[uber fragger]

I'm from central ohio ;)

[rabbitt]

No, it's in the plaza with Staples, right next door.

Thanks, I'll check it out if I'm up by there.

I was there yesterday too - there was some dude who was bragging about being an ebayer and convincing me that boxed Mario RPG was worthless because it didnt have a manual. Was that you? :-)

That store is usually loaded with good stuff. I wlaked out with Airforce Delta Storm Xbox, plus Power Stone and Soul Calibur DC for $20 total.

And yeah, the Rolling Acres TRU is the only one closing

Dave

[jkanownik]

Was that you? :-)

That was not me.

I used to love the Exchange, but they've been taking their prices up lately. PS2/XB/GC games that used to be $5 have moved up to $10. They charge $9 for most good used CDs. And used 360 games are the same price they are everywhere else. Now the only thing they're good for is OOP stuff.

[Benisjamin]

Does anyone near Eastgate have the FFXII demo I could borrow or know anyplace that has Dragon Quest cheap?

[Benisjamin]

Any luck on finding that hidden Lunar 2 at ToysRus, Benisjamin? Was hoping to hear about it :)

[dchadwell]

Lucked out and came across a 360 at the Eb Games at Eastgate Mall this morning. Granted, it was a Core, but at this point I didn't care. Anyone noticed any hard drives in the area?

[MightySlacker]

Macedonia Gamerush had a premium system the other day if anyone is interested

[botticus]

I'm around, just nothing to report.

We had one 360 HD at the Toys'R'Us in Eastgate as of 1/27 I can't remember if I saw it today but I know I didn't sell it.

[jkanownik]

When I was at the Chapel Hill, OH TRU today I noticed that they had two PSP Value Packs for orange-tagged for $199.90

I don't know much about PSP's, but I think that's a pretty good price.

[bluekeith75]

orange tag at that tru usually means it was returned. Gamecrazy on 30th street in canton has 4 360's (premium) as of this morning.

[IcyDeath]

Anyone looking to buy Kameo, Project Gotham 3, or Perfect Dark Zero. I have all 3 sealed and new, $32.00 each. IN the Medina area, ie between Cleveland - Akron and Canton. Just PM me. Can meet you.

[markholladay]

For anyone in the Cincinnati area. The new Walmart Supercenter in Eastgate is opening on tuesday. I wonder if they will have any grand opening specials. I tried looking online at the weekly ad and could not find anything. Anyone get a sunday paper yesterday and see anything?

[LaraCroftsLeftBoob]

they got a new walmart in eastgate!? i didn't know they were even building one, let alone open. where is the new one located?

[markholladay]

they got a new walmart in eastgate!? i didn't know they were even building one, let alone open. where is the new one located? It is right besides the other Walmart in Eastgate. Sharing the same parking lot. You have to drive up to to to see it. Pull in like you were going to go the Walmart, but keep driving past the front, and once you get past the tire center a SuperWalmart will pop up. I was surprised when I found it also. It is hidden from the road.

[Benisjamin]

That's crazy! I had no idea that there was another Walmart opening either.

[dchadwell]

That one's opening on Tuesday too? Because I know the one they just built in Amelia is having their grand opening this Tuesday, even though they're actually already open.

[markholladay]

That one's opening on Tuesday too? Because I know the one they just built in Amelia is having their grand opening this Tuesday, even though they're actually already open.

How long has that one been open? I lve off of Beechmont. But near 275. I think the one in Eastgate might be a little closer.

[dchadwell]

Not long I don't think, less than a week? I'm not for sure, since I live out in Loveland, but me and gf went to her parents last night and stopped over there to check it out. They didn't have anything that I noticed on sale, but they might actually hold off on that till the Grand Opening deal on tomorrow.

[radjago]

I saw my first 360 in a store today. It was at a Walmart and it was a Core.

Is the Springfield TRU closed now? I haven't had a chance to swing by there and check.

I was in the Chapel Hill EB Games yesterday, and it looks like they are clearing out their used CDs.
There are a lot less there than there were a few weeks ago.

No, but I don't think they have much of anything left. It wouldn't be worth it to check until things hit at least 40% off.

[xorealix]

GameStop in Brunswick was clearing out used CDs- 3 for $6.66.

Anybody else live in the Brunswick/Medina area?

[IcyDeath]

i am in medina

Toys'R'Us has a Chibi-Robo pamphlet with a coupon for $5 off Chibi-Robo.

For anyone who wants a 360:
There are two premium systems for sale(as of 4PM 2/7) at the Kent-Ravenna Wal Mart.

[rabbitt]

Sorry if it has been posted, but the Rolling Acres TRU on Romig Road in Akron has bumped its sale to 30-50% off.

[MightySlacker]

Yeah, and the place is fucking demolished - I cant believe all that stuff sold. They had to have transfered some inventory somewhere

Also, if anyone desires Gitaroo Man, Chapel Hill mall GameStop has a used copy for $39.99.

Windham OH. Nothing here, but about 20 miles from everywhere. I seem to have most of NE Ohio to myself, especially the Kent/Stow area.
Oh good sir I challenge you to fisticuffs for the honor of my beloved Kent. Wait until I get a capable car and NE Ohio shall be mine once again just like '04/early '05. I find it really hard to believe I'm the only person from Kent on here, let alone the only KSU student. As many students as KSU has... jeez.

I'm from Ravenna, near Akron.
Sup neighbor.

[MightySlacker]

HA - I just picked up a Phoenix Wright for $20 and a Zelda CE for $15 from the Exchange, as well as a Nintendo Power Animal Crossing guide for a buck which I sold for $40. You better hurry up on that car :-)

Dave

[Zennousha]

Well... well... it's a good thing I don't even have a DS! :-( Phoenix Wright is the whole reason I want a DS(because I heard Lunar sucks) so I'm jealous of that. I had no idea guides went for that much. That's crazy. I never would have thought to pick it up anyways.

Bah, too bad there aren't really any good independent game stores up here... I don't think anyone can really compete with the ridiculous number of EB/GS stores. I could use a Zelda CE for less than the $30-$40 I'd have to pay there.

[MightySlacker]

Actually, I think there are quite a dew Exchance stores in the area. There's "The Exchange" and "CD/Game Exchange", which are both pretty good. Maybe they are in suburbs around you, but I know they are up there somewhere

Dave

[dabamus]

I go to the Kent CD/game exchange every so often, but they have raised the prices a while back, and I can get much better quality stuff at Gamestop or EB Games.
They also don't have as high of a tradein value as EB Games or Gamestop.(I tried to trade in my XBOX a while back, and I could get $64 at EB/GS or $47 at the CD/Game exchange)

[MightySlacker]

True - they don't seem to have a lot of stuff. The one in Akron is a little better. The Exchange stores are much better - the one in Kent by Starbucks is loaded, so is the Falls store. They are also getting a bit pricier
