Smilies flea market in Arden NC 

Used to have a filthy mangled display of tons of games in one store at the flea market. ( posted about it before) they shut them down. Brought the intire collection to the landfill. But there is usually venders there in the summer. Good deals!

Here is one in Athens Ga. Seems to be doing pretty good. I have no clue as to pricing cause I have never been but I plan to someday.

Super Game Video Games in Nashville, TN. It's a new store run by a super nice guy. It's a bit small, but the quality of the games is always nice, prices are fair, and trade-in values are fair too. I expect to see it grow substantially the next few years.

Here is his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SuperGam...

5722 Hickory Plaza Dr, Suit B2, Nashville, TN 37211

All of the Game Centre locations in KY have been closed for years. They all sucked anyway, it was one of those "change the price at the register" places.

I'm not really surprised at all these stores closing. I can't even remember the last game store I've been in that had a large selection of retro games that wasn't all common junk or overpriced. I think most people are just turning to emulation now due to the prices. Then every once and a while I'll see a new store open that only has a total of like 30 games in the entire store, and most of those are sports titles, and I just think "...why are you even bothering?"

Fanboys Toys in North Providence RI is now closed.

West Orange Comics and Games just outside of Orlando, FL isn't bad:

Not sure if this one has already been added, but the best retro game store I have come across in Maryland is easily Play Raven in sykesville md. Super nice people, decent selection of games, fair prices, good trade value, and easy to work with. That's all you could ask for in a game store. Shout out to Joe! He's an awesome dude there

In Nebraska:

CD Tradepost - Bellevue is closed, and Omaha only has 2 locations
Game Vault is closed

Add Pop Culture Exchange in Omaha.

Does anyone here run Nostalgic Bazaar in Florence, KY?

Last time I was there about 8 months ago I turned around and walked out almost immediately. Some extremely high prices and weird goodwill-type/antique furniture taking up half the store. There was an older lady working there so I doubt anyone here owns it. Wouldn't really recommend. 

I saw some pictures of the place and it certainly seemed that they were doing video games "on the side" which can be troublesome as compared to doing movies, Pokemon or records on the side.

I went again today and the prices were pretty high on basically everything, especially consoles (20-40% above eBay). Not sure why anyone would shop here that wasn't just trying to buy Mario games for a party or something. The employee was a younger guy wearing a Castlevania II shirt, but I really don't see the point of it existing. 
 

Super Game Station (Virginia) is back open in Radford, VA.
