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?

I live in Clermont county, just East of Cincy. I have a Japanese Neon Genesis Evangelion 5 pachinko machine I am wanting to sell. Its too bulky to put on Ebay and I would rather have a fellow CAGer enjoy it than some Craigslist reseller. It is the modern machine with the nice sized LED screen as the background and has a robotic Eva that opens its mouth and screams when you get into the win mode. BEAUTIFUL and awesome machine. Also have about 6-700 pachinko balls that come with it. Would like to get $400 for it. If interested, PM me. Thanks!
 
I live in Chardon, OH (30 miles east of Cleveland in Geauga County) but I go to school at Otterbein University in Westerville, OH (north-side of Columbus).

I like to frequent the only two Play-N-Trade stores in the state, which are located both where I live and where I go to school (Willoughby and Dublin). They have great selections of classic games.
 
Hey just o let everyone know the K-Mart on South Hamilton Rd in Columbus OH is closing in May. The have everything on sale (yes videogames) up to 30% off.

All games are 30% off but not PC games

Welcome~
Make sure to hit up bogarts sometime.
 
The last Blockbuster store in Toledo is closing. The final day is planned to be May 20. Deals right now aren't super-great but here's as many as I can remember off the top of my head.

20% off new retail DVD/Blu-Ray
$7.99 for pre-viewed DVD/Blu-Ray
$3.99 for no cover art DVDs
$20 off newer video games
Older video games (most without cover art) are $10

Went in a couple days ago and picked up a new copy of Machete on Blu-Ray, a used copy of Smackdown vs Raw 2011 on 360, a used copy (with no cover art) of WWE Royal Rumble 2007 with bonus Blockbuster-exclusive bonus disc and a bottle of Coke for just under $40. I'll probably wait a week or two until the deals get better.
 
This definitely fills a very specific need if you have it. The Marc's Grocery (yes, you heard right) has a ton of Duracell PS3 Charging Docks, charges 2 PS3 pads and 2 Move controllers, for $3.

The one I went to is on Henderson Road in Upper Arlington, north end of Columbus, close to where I live. Marc's stuff is VERY YMMV from what I understand, but if you had a need for one of these and always thought $20 seemed silly for a piece of plastic with some USB style connectors, $3 doesn't seem so silly! :)

P.S. - If there's any gamers in the Hilliard area I don't know, would love to meetup and play or trade at some point.
 
I recently bought King's Bounty from Amazon's downloads and I can't get the mouse/pointer to appear on screen. I have Windows XP and the NVIDIA Gforce 9600 graphics card. Could somebody help a fellow CAG from the Cleveland area?
 
Don't know why I never posted in this thread before! Ex-Cincinnatian, always west-side at heart, here. I've gone to the dark side by moving to NKY, but only for a year while my wife finishes a residency. We'll most likely return to Cincy afterwards, even though Ky is starting to grow on me ;)

We're both big time board/video gamers. Lately we've been playing a LOT of TF2 (we play competitively), Guild Wars 2, Borderlands 2, Halo 4, Black Ops2, and Orcs Must Die 2. Nice to meet you all!
 
Hey everyone. This is for the ultimate Cheap Ass. The Cuyahoga County Public Library (ie Cleveland area) is starting to loan video games. The selection is still small since they just started this the other day but still great way to try out new games. I also saw Tekken Tag 2 for the 360, Sonic racing for the Wii U, and some sports games. For other people outside of Cuyahoga you maybe able to order the games to be shipped to your library through Search Ohio. If you don't know what that is, it is a great time to talk to your local librarian ;). Here is what I picked up for 3 weeks.

I remember borrowing games from my local library back in the NES days. :D

It's nice to hear that some libraries are still doing that. I think one of my local libraries does that also.
 
Any must go to game stores in Columbus? I will be in town for the anime convention and wouldn't mind hunting for some games. Thanks for any leads!

This is probably overly local, but the Marc's in Brecksville, OH had some (IMHO) pretty decent deals:

Xbox 360 4GB (non-Kinect) - $129
Xbox 360 MW3 320GB Special Edition - $199

Don't know if the deals are elsewhere.

[quote name='Genocidal']Interesting; was that in the closeouts section?[/QUOTE]

I guess that's part of closeout section -- it was on the endcap right beside their combo electronics/jewelry counter. I'm not super familiar with the stores, we just stopped in because it was their grand opening, and it seemed roomier than most of the older, cramped stores.

They also had a ton of Kindle Fires (I assume 1st gen) for $99, and a PS3 320Gb / Everyone Dance bundle for $199.

Any good retro games stores/flea market vendors in the Akron area? I know of The Exchange chain, and GameSurge in Ellet, but that's all I have. Anything within say... an hour's drive is game.
 
[quote name='Darkside Hazuki']Fellow Cincy CAG, where can I find GBA games? Looking for anything Pokemon, had no luck at Game Swap or Half Price Books (Mason).[/QUOTE]

You are a ways away but 2nd and Charles in Kettering has Pokemon games much of the time. I've seen them with and without their cases but mostly without. They also give some pretty insane credit on trade-ins on nearly everything - instruments, games, movies, etc.
 
So anyone here in an active Steam Cincy Gamers group? I see a few, but they seem to be dead. My wife and I play a lot of games together, lately DoTA2 and TF2, and it could be fun to group up with some locals.

Wanted to ask the same question of the top poster on this page. Anyone know of anything in the Akron/Canton area that is good for retro stuff?

i play those two games relatively frequently and I'm in the Columbus area. I've been wanting to get into team games in DOTA so feel free to msg me your steam name and i can msg you sometime.

I'm looking as well, live right near U of A, and besides The Exchange I haven't found anywhere I can grab a 32x or Sega CD. They hardly even have games for them let alone the consoles. If I find anything I'll post in here, let me know if you guys find something good. I'm searching for mostly SNES/Saturn/CD/32x stuff, but I'm always open to good deals on other older systems.

My buddy and I go up to Akron every Feb or March for the Ohio Pinball show. There is a place called Buybacks in the area that we always go to. They have older games and systems......now some of the prices for stuff seem high....but not everything. Have found a number of good deals Theresa well. Maybe check that out?

I know exactly what place you're talking about. Sadly their selection is always extremely small, I will stop in whenever I head up towards the mall but don't get in there more than two or three times a month. I have never seen a Saturn/CD/32x or games their though :(
 
Any good places in the Cincinnati/Dayton area to shop around for games? I use to have some luck with random stops but not much recently, so trying to see if anyone knows any good places. Thanks
 
Buybacks is a joke; I went there a week or two ago and they wanted $45 for a used copy of Fire Emblem Awakening when I could've got a new copy next door at either The Exchange or Best Buy for $40. The rest of their prices have been just as bad every time I go in.

There are a couple of stores on the west side of Cleveland I haven't checked out yet; The Game Rack in Goodyear Heights, and Gamesurge in Ellet that I've found local, but nothing else. Met a couple of guys who are looking to start a place called Out of the Box Collectibles in the Canton area, but they don't have a location yet.
 
South Dayton CAG here (Miamisburg, Springboro, Dayton Mall). It seems like most mom and pop stores in the area can't compete with Best Buy anymore locally. Shops like second time around by UD and Disc Exchange still appear to thrive but miss the mark on current gen in terms of delivering in price. GameSwap may be the exception but I've only been once. They do have Facebook page and sometimes post games there. While more so miss than hit, The Dayton Mall area did just get a new Five Below which can sometimes carry a couple of titles (had no luck in Beavercreek location).

I'd love to see what Dayton CAG's are finding on the Target clearance racks. It would be awesome to get a report from each weekly (I can cover Dayton Mall).
 
I'm working on getting a Gamestop in Cleveland (Steelyard Dr) to transfer a game to me in Tampa, but in case it doesn't work, would anyone in the area be willing to pick up & ship a $15 game for me if I give them an additional $15 to cover gas/postage?
 
Unfortunately the store in Cleveland is the only one in the country that has it. I called them up and they told me the manager refuses to do store transfers. I sent an email to the district manager, but I probably wont hear back for a few days.

I somewhat agree. However, I think that GameSwap has some great deals - mainly because I purchase HD DVDs and Dreamcast games. Other than that, 2nd Time Around, in Kettering, has some amazing trade-in values on nearly everything you can bring in there - games, books, musical instruments, etc. etc. and some of their prices are not too bad. Just something to think about...

Hey, Northside Columbus / Westerville CAG here. Game On Ohio is offering $1 for every A on your report card, amongst other deals.

You can see the deals here on their Facebook page.

Where is Game On Ohio? I go to Otterbein and have never heard of that place.

The closest ones to you would be on West Broad and South High (South High is closer) both in Columbus. There are other ones in Grove City, Pickerington, Chillicothe, and Westpointe, and there used to be one in Mill Run.
