So who's from the NW well more specifically I'm talking Vancouver,WA/Portland OR. Anyone from the Tri-Cities? Just curious. Also recommend some mom and pop game store to me if you are from those areas.

What you mean by mom and pop game store?

I'm in the Tri-Cities. There's a huge douchebaggery store here called "Nielsen's Art & Games" that sells classic games at higher-then-ebay prices. His pricing policy is to figure out what the highest price a game goes for on Ebay, add 10% to that, then sell it. He also allows minors to sell him games (which I'm pretty sure is against the law) and he doesn't charge sales tax (big no-no in Washington). I'm anxiously awaiting the feds to shut him down. He's a scumbag.

Call ahead and see if they have any event/tournament going on before you go. Thats the fun stuff.

Lol at Nielson's. I went in there ONCE to scout prices for Dreamcast games and walked out as soon as I talked to the guy and looked at his outrageous prices.

I think the best game shop in the Tri Cities is the Gamecrazy off G-Way, but I havn't purchased anything from there in more than a year (thanks to the CAG trading forum and a little patience...)
