[quote name='firenze']Oh, and I have recently moved to Seattle and think Pink Godzilla is WAY overrated. Sure, they have some unusual stuff (Saturn games, etc), but their prices are ridiculous. Higher than any of the big online retailers for current imports and generally even higher than going Ebay rates for most older stuff. I don't understand why people think it's so special. It's not like they have tons of super-rare games either, mostly just ho-hum software, but since they have Famicom, Saturn, and the like - people think it's great.

I hear you on that. If you buy one of their T-shirts, you get 10% off your purchase, like that's a great deal, but I saw a dad buy a shirt for that. Still, if you HAVE to have a game no matter what the price, at least you're likely to get it there. They have most of the hard to find and import games/toys you're not likely to find elsewhere (besides EBay) there. Panzer Dragoon Saga was $500 there. Definately not cheap there. And their trade in offers are insulting. They picked out a stack of about 7 of my games a few months back including a GC Ikaruga, some PS2 RPG's, DC and Saturn games with an offer of $50 credit for all of them. At their prices, I would have only been able to get 1 semi-decnt game. A collector friend told me that was a terrible offer.
I was at the NW game expo that they were a sponsor of and one of the Pink Godzilla guys noticed I bought a new/sealed Shining Force CD from a collector and he was being really "buddy buddy" with me being like "how much you want for the Shining Force CD?" (Um, yeah I don't think so.)
