Any CAGers around here? Really disappointed as the scene pales in comparison to Boston's video gaming scene. Any suggestions or local mom and pop shops? The Maryland-Virginia-DC area seems to be pretty weak.
 
Out of all the Best Buy's in the area, the one at Bailey Crossroads is the only one who would accept video game trade ins without a receipt. That's absurd.

I've only attempted to trade in stuff at 1 Best Buy location (Towson) and I had no trouble except for a couple of games that were still shrinkwrapped. He wouldn't take those without a receipt, but he did tell me to just take them home, open them, and bring them back tomorrow.

MjC[/QUOTE]I had no issues at White Marsh, MD best buy. Even took games without the UPC code without issues.
 
Different counties have different policies about game trades. At some BBs you have to prove that you bought it from BB to trade it in at all.
I think I can swing by the meetup ~3pm

Went to the one in Bailey's Crossroads and they took all of them without a problem. What a hassle, and I only went to such extremes because of the 100% bonus. Otherwise I would have gone to a gamestop.
 
[quote name='The Mana Knight']All right, I'll finally post about the event. There's a 90% chance this will happen.

Eh, I might come if I don't have work and there are people trading Game Boy stuff. Is this just for trading games, or also consoles and accessories?
 
I don't really go to Arundel Mills anymore... Traffic and parking is shit thanks to the casino, AND too many shady people now...

And I work Sunday mid shift... so no go for me

Does that mean you are having your birthday elsewhere next year?

If AssaultSuit and nightmare452 call this out especially, there's no way I'm still holding this.

agreed.

And Mana, I'll most likely have my b-day at Frisco Taphouse near me.... 50 microbrews on tap! :D
 
[quote name='G-Nitro']agreed.

Anyway, I made up my mind, the meet-up is now CANCELLED. I will send PMs tonight reminding some who may not view this thread much. I delete the list later if no one else decides to pick it up.

A few reasons led to the cancellation. However, I'll probably just stick to hanging out with each person (or small group) individually instead of trying to put something together. Last weekend I was around AssaultSuit/BigRob. I haven't been around Ind1fference much.
 
[quote name='G-Nitro']Don't cancel because I'm not going.... I'd have to work regardless that night so it would be probably a no go anyway... o_O[/QUOTE]
It's not just because of you (I sort of planned you as a possible not going), a few others were doing the same, and it's not like before where I lived down the road to Arundel Mills (more like a 35 minute drive now).

TBH, I rather just do individual hangouts anyway. We'll see what people think in the end.
 
I probably could not have gone anyway. Got an invite from an old college friend to go visit his newborn daughter in Virginia this weekend, and found out all my friends from college are going, and I skipped on them the last time we all got together, can't do it now.

We could change date/location instead of canceling though.
 
For those still interested in getting together, who would be interested in going to Crabtowne USA? This is the place in Glen Burnie with all the old arcade machines.

Also, the Pinball Museum and Geppi's Entertainment Museum in Baltimore are still out there.

Thoughts?

I'm game for either of those options.

Oh yeah, I forgot to put together a meet-up at Crab Town for the longest time. I've been there many times. If people want to do that, we can figure out what works.

Anyway, the reason for me canceling was because if this weekend did not work, I could not make a single weekend work until WiiU launch, due to Extra Life next weekend, Halloween Party with old co-workers the next weekend, Nekocon and AnimeUSA weekends, etc.

Eh, we'll figure something out, sometime. I apologize for the late response, since my internet/TV cut out for over a day,

Of those I'd prefer Crabtowne.
 
I'll plan to go to Crabtowne USA at 2pm tomorrow (saturday). Anyone who wants to roll up, I'm sure I'll be there for a while. The address is:

1500 Crain Highway South Glen Burnie, MD 21061
(410) 761-6118

I've never been, but I'll give warning that the reviews for the seafood look pretty bad. I'm going to stick with grabbing some pizza or a sub or something. I'm really going for the arcade and that's about it.

Here's a video from this year I found of a guy visiting both Crabtowne and the National Pinball Museum:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/Kte4qA7plBk

I'm sure I'll find something to bring in trade, but I don't have anything in mind at the moment.

Sorry to go back on my answer, but I ended up having a conflicting event in the city, so I won't be making it this time around. I would not be opposed to having another gathering soon, though.
 
Some people I know like their food there at Crabtowne, some don't. The place is a little trashy, but those arcade games are cool. I've been there several times. I could make it down to Glen Burnie tomorrow if my expected package arrives before then.
 
Hello all, I'm a long-time lurker/first-time poster on CAG and thought I'd pop my head in here to say hi, as I'm located in Baltimore. I also couldn't resist posting as I saw the shout-outs for MAGFest, and I'm the guy that runs the Console area for it. I hope everyone who went had a fine time at MAG 11, and thanks for all the tips on various game deals throughout 2012. My budget is pretty tiny in the scheme of things, and CAG helps me stretch it a lot farther than it would normally go.
 
I would like to sell the following items:

21" Sony Trinitron Computer Monitor - $20
Works; complete with manuals and cables; has crack in base that does not affect use.

Data East Robocop Arcade Cabinet - $225
Works; great condition; free credit button wired in; some monitor burn in.

Die Hard Arcade Cabinet - $250
Works; great condition; no burn in; can play other U.S. games with compatible cartridges like Virtua Fighter (or Japanese ones after modification).

SNES Super Scope 6 with 3 games - $200
Works, but recall that this is only compatible with CRT TVs; near mint condition; includes gun, eyepiece, receiver, box, manual, and SS6, Battleclash, and Metal Combat games and manuals; does not include original packing materials.

Pictures available upon request. All items are located in Arlington, near Falls Church. Feel free to make an offer.
 
You might want to try your local craigslist for letting some of your stuff go. You might have better luck. I used to try and sell stuff off of here and it would take forever for offers to come through. If you can't wait that long, then ebay is your friend.
 
I was giving the good folks here first dibs.

Also, I was trying to avoid the usual CL flakes and douchebagery. The eBay cesspool is my last resort.

Why don't we plan something for early April at Crab Town? Darker, BigRob and MCalvert have been there. They have some arcade games and decent food. I assume we'd have less concern about space. I'm free on the 23rd in case there's a chance for a quick turn around for this meetup.

If i wanted crabs/seafood then I would go to legal seafood.
