Before reading the rest, I felt a little angry for you not telling me which Saga would be available. Then, I continued on and found out that I'm an idiot. Carry on.

Well at least I could come back and make a review laters?
Someone help me.
Eh who knows, maybe it will be enjoyable I suppose.

Here's a bit of advice: MARRY HER RIGHT NOW and father many children with her.

To be brief, shes a type 1 diabetic so shes home all the time while I work so yes she plays mmo's to kill time. She is a ridiculous WoW fanatic but anything this colorful will get her attention. Example, FreeRealms. Why do I not like playing with her? She likes to RP and takes ridiculous amounts of bio breaks. Try doing an instance in WoW with her going afk every 5 minutes. Or so help me Kotaku, coming home for Valentine's Day to have her yell at me to log on so she can give me gifts and relax at whatever scenic location she chose. One day, one day I will do normal couple things but for now, mmo's have cursed me. :(

Is there REALLY that much money in selling used, old games?
(does he have the rest of those golden NES carts?)

I'm moving back to Castle Rock Colorado next month, I will definitely come and see your store.

hopefully he will be buying old stuff from people instore and online, and of course hit those bargain deals on ebay to keep the stock fresh.

stores like this make a BOATLOAD of mula. theres a vintage shop in NYC where i go to get mah classics. [www.videogamesnewyork.com] .
and they carry the recent and old stuff. if he promotes it right he could be in for the long haul. hopefully he studied up on basic business practices. and he should build a basic e-commerce site to increase his chances of sticking around. the potential is there, good to see him doing something constructive like this, instead of going apeshit and buying an expensive ass car or something dumb that many teens do with their newfound money.

Yes but NYC has a HUGE population. Denver... not so much. Walk in stores with a niche market only work well if your population is so great that even a small fraction of the pop amounts to a lot of people.
With that being said... everyone seems to ignore the fact that he also sells wii ps3 and 360 games as well. So long as modern games are included he'll do fine.

which is why i say the promotional machine behind it may affect the success of said store. getting on the news and kotaku is a nice start, you have to admit. if hes a lone retro shop in that area, he could have the chance to build a scene up in denver. sure its no nyc, but there are folks out there.

Also..
Im not dogging the kid in anyway... Congratulations on being able to do that at yoru age..
But again dude.... Do you understand how shite the economy is right now? you know there are probly 18 gamestops or CGX near by.... or all the people that live in yoru town might prefer ebay.
All Im saying is the business that you choose is fully obviously an impulse. You wanted it, had the money and went for it.
I do feel sorry for you though....
In about a year, when your closed and everything is gone... your gonna have to go right back to working at gamestop ;)
Again, not downing you at all.... Its just this was not well thought out.
I wish I had $100,000... because then I could start a business that wasnt trying to compete with 8 other companies who have a monopoly on the industry.
But good luck

I think you'd have been better off just revising what you said instead.
