Yesterday this came to my shop. I been open for two weeks only and to get this is shocking since around me theirs a few other game stores. 

But wow.

this isn't going in my shop it's going home with me will hold it for a future trade.
 

Hopefully it's a sign of what's to come through your doors!

Just curious, do you plan on keeping most/all big finds off the store floor? I've been to stores before that I know get good items but won't put them out. They'll either keep them for their collections or sell exclusively online. It's kind of depressing as a customer since I expect to not find rare games for sale at those stores. Even if a store marks their rare games a little high it can draw attention to the store. If it sells, the owner makes a nice profit. If not it's still a good show piece and can be on display until it sells online.

Congrats regardless!

I agree with this. Maybe hold it on the shelf until you decide to trade it anyways? Congratz on the cool game though!

Depends on the game I have a big collection if I get something i have a double that's expansive EX: Pokémon box for GameCube harvest moon snes etc it will Be here

if I don't have I tend to hold on to it. I'm a big Turbo and games aren't cheap for that it's good trade bait but I may just keep this one for the memory. 
 

All Mario Zelda Pokemon etc are on the floor even a virtual boy Jaguar and turbografx 
 We have on the floor. I had some neo geo games on the floor too. It just depends 

Sweet! Yeah I am sure most game store owners are also collectors so it makes sense for them to hold onto games they want when they come in. Just you mentioning using it for a possible trade in the future made me think you didn't have any real attachment to it. Hopefully some cool Turbo games will walk in someday.  
 

When you said "one of the rarest" I was thinking maybe Wendy or Xena, but this is awesome. Congrats!

Very nice! That said, by the title I thought you literally broke it lol. Like someone brought something rare in and you accidentally dropped it after buying it or something.  

Nice

Where is the store? I've been wanting to go but I literally don't even know the name! Put it in your signature or something Man!

Just a recommendation, you might want to have a single thread to document your store trade ins!  

Yeah, you should really list your shop in the signature, I know if I was ever passing through Jersey I would stop in and spend some money even if it was for some common games I need.

Signature is updated

 

Was it actually a trade? Did they know what they had? What did you trade? All the other dumb questions nosy people like me ask in these situations?

Well done.
