Then you should be aware that coating your hands in gunk is not the same as cleaning them. :wacko:Quote:

Nah, I don't need labor too much, I have about 15 people that are willing to work for pretty much nothing. And I have some sources of cheap games, but soon those sources will dry up and I'll have to pay premium price for things.Quote:

But than again, that's just NES, I would need a lot of other stuff. :shrug:
And it's not like I'm relying heavily on EP, it would just be a nice bonus if I could get a good purchase or two to stock up if I'm lucky. :wacko:
Then again, soap is animal fat anyway. I just have to do something whenever I touch anything. It's very neurotic.Quote:

Toodiloo.:x
Until you know how well your shop will do in terms of NEs sales and the like, I would recommend not buying 500 NEs games for 1500 bucks, regardless of how good a deal it seems.Quote:

Unsolicited advice alert!Quote:

I can say from experience that our retro game buy/sell/trade joint in my town had 3 copies of Hydlide at one time, and I'll bet there's one on the shelves right now.
It pays to be a bit picky when buying sometimes, is what I'm saying.
Best of luck with the store... I've always wanted to open one myself. :biggrin:
Also keep in mind that, being NES games, and being so many of them, the vast majority are likely to be utter shite. :wacko: Stick with NES games there's demand for to begin with. At least then you know people are going to buy them and you won't have a shelf full of cartridges based on Tom Cruise movies.
