Haven Games?

Yeah, that's the one.

Is it still around by any Chance? Anyway, one day i'm thinking about opening up my own game store. It'll still take me quite a few years to ammount a sizable collection, and get some inventory. But a guy can dream.

I reside in Greenville.

Sweet, only 1 other person in Myrtle Beach. I guess that increases my chances in getting a CHEAP deal.

I'm in Columbia. <----
good to know I'm not alone in the state........alone in being an avid game fan and being cheap.......nice to know there are others just like me......

Native Charlottean, but moved to Rock Hill, SC last summer.

Lexington here. Near the White Knoll High area. This area is starting to boom, bigtime. Walmart and Gamestop have popped up in the last few months and it doesn't look to be slowing down soon (Lowe's is in construction).

As for if I like it... It's alright, I guess. But, after you've lived in Florida, California, and Hawaii, it seems dull in comparison (my dad was in the Navy).

Lexington Area, alot of the Target in lexington deals seem to get gone before they drop to good prices ... Took me awhile to get Timeshift cheap since the timeshifts there got gone before they got below 20$....So it wasn't me getting all the deals. Just seems locals buy up clearance lately without worry of how much more clerance it could be.

Would ya? They give $20 in store credit, and $10 in cash! That's even worse that GameStop I think, but don't quote me on that one. They're good people though most of the time. If any of you ever go in Anderson, they also have a "store" at the Anderson Jockey Lot that's open on Saturday and Sunday, early all the way until people usually start to leave the JL. Sometime this year a new indie game store opened up in Powdersville, Darkside Games. I've never been, I don't know anything about it, but here's a MySpace page for it: http://www.myspace.com/darksidegames

Yea, im desperate for a good game store in SC. Im about to move in with my parents in Greenwood, so im up for any place that sells games other than the one Gamestop there.

Those game stores sounds alot better than a store i found on Craigslist called "Dawg Gone Fun Games" which is north of Greenville. I though "Your kidding me, this is all this state has?"

The play n trades seem too far a drive for me, so im up for anything close near Greenwood/Abbiville/Ninty Six.

So yea, thats all i got to say...

Hate to break it to you but I have lived in Greenwood since I was born and all we have here is Gamestop, Blockbuster/GameRush, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart (Which has a pretty good selction of the stuff that is usually listed in the clearance thread.) Other than that there is practically nothing.

Pretty cool little town if you don't come from a big metropolis. It gets a lot more fun when college starts back in Sept. and you get a lot more younger people back in town.

What part of greenwood do you live near? im going to be living at Regency Park where my parents are staying, which is the apartment complex next to Super WalMart.

Hopefully, that Hollywood Video will go outta business, they got some sweet stuff there i would definetly buy...

Yeah, you will be in the thick of "New" Greenwood which is really good. Most all your major stores and restaurants are right beside or near that Wal-Mart. That Hollywood video is a pretty nice place to rent a game but I really have no clue about their selection due to the fact that I usually have some credit from flipping from GS to Blockbuster so I just rent from there.

As for me I live by Emerald High School for now but I am probably about to move closer to Lander University as my lease is up on my apartment.

I do gotta know about Pawn Shops in the area too. The only one ive been too was the Gun and Pawn shop near Lander and i found a complete green label of Chrono Cross for like 2 bucks with Bushido Blade. The guy there has a bunch of Xbox and PS2 games i need to look at next time im there.

Yea, i know the area on that highway pretty well. Big Lots has some stuff from time to time, like i bought the City of Villians DVD collection there, and the KMart is there for deals if they still carry the games (which im sure they do), and Wal Mart as well.

Ah, ill find some...

Fort Mill/Rock Hill here.

Look man, I drove way out of my way to visit your store once, after reading all of the craigslist ads about how you have all these "great deals". I was pretty pissed when I got there and the only decently priced stuff you had were a few systems that were about 10 bucks less than ebay.

But the games, everything you had was priced at LEAST 5.00 OVER the highest ebay price. I can't inform people over craigslist but I can at least inform people here on Cheap Ass Gamer.

If you want to stay in business, price stuff competitively, NOT over ebay value. Because I sure a hell aren't going to pay 10.00 for Ducktales on the NES or 30.00 for Metal Gear Solid for the PS1, and neither are other CAGs.
