Ойындар

Kelsey co-ownes two retro gaming stores in Seattle called Pink Gorilla Games. Here is a behind the scenes look at what they sell, how they organize it and what goes into running a successful retro gaming store!

    MJR. So I wanted to let you and Kelsey know that you two are responsible for my PS Vita. My wife found your Vita video and watched it figuring out which one to get me. She told me she LOVED how Kelsey wasn't there for eye candy, how she contributed to the video and how passionate she is for gaming. Also in the evenings we might put on youtube, and one thing I personally love is the swearing is very minimal. Our 7 year old watches with us so it's nice to know that we don't need to grab the mute button even 10 seconds. Thanks so much for all you do. Be well and keep collecting!

    The international district is really rough. I went to Seattle for vacation and I wanted to visit the store but we saw someone get arrested and a dirty old man came up to someone and said to us afterwards, "Can you believe she wouldn't have sex with me?" in a creepy way. Add that to the thought of getting mugged in a country that allows buying guns openly, we got out as soon as possible. I wish I could have gone to Pink Gorilla but it was way too horrible to stay in the area.

Sage Mantis Gave Haven has a few nice things in Fredericksburg. I believe they just started carrying comics as well. Woodbridge has a 2nd & Charles I just discovered. Mainly books, but they have records, movies, and a more or less respectable video game section. The most impressive I've been to is eStarland. Mainly an online store, but it does have a storefront in Chantilly, housing the biggest and best selection of games in Northern Virginia.

Also, if you don't want this video to come across as an advertisement, who cares. This store is super impressive. Advertise it as much as you can. You guys have every reason to be proud of it.

    When my best friend and I were in college 10 years ago, he was out studying in Seattle. I remember going out to visit him for Thanksgiving break and we had such a blast! He knew I was really getting into retro game collecting at the time and said, "I have this store to show you, it's called Pink Gorilla." We went to the shop in the international district that Kelsey mentioned at the end. I spent a lot of money on different games for my NES, Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, and Super Nintendo collections. I even got a t-shirt that I still use to this day. That was one of the best trips of my life and that's definitely one of the coolest retro/import game stores I've ever been to.

    For the longest time there was only one retro gaming store in my whole tri-state area. And it just closed down recently and I was super bummed. There are a couple that opened up a little while before the one closed down, but it was still awful that it did close down. They were the first in my area and they were very instrumental in keeping retro games available to collectors. They always had great stuff, the staff(basically one guy the owner and a guy and girl that were super young who just worked a few hours in the morning and Mondays when really nobody was going in) we're very knowledgeable and friendly and very reasonable and fair with buying and selling, they had a very cool selection of stuff. They didn't just buy and sell video games, they dealt in all types of retro toys, and even some modern toys, Legos, Pokemon, he-man TMNT etc. action figures. Probably the coolest part of the store, Game Swap, was they had two big chests full of loose toys that they sold for like .10-.25 cents a piece, but they let the little kids play with them while the parents shopped for their favorite games and toys from their childhoods. What a great store. I hope they open back up somewhere. They were in one of the local malls, but hopefully they find a decent location to open shop again.

    Like I mentioned above there are a few more in my area now, but they are so expensive and rude and not very knowledgeable, some old lady manages one of them and she doesn't know anything about the stuff she's selling in her store. She is probably better now, but it used to be you could only sell them stuff on Mondays and Wednesdays when the owner would be there because she had no clue what the stuff ppl bring in is or what it might be worth. Even though they have the websites that show the values and stock available for most items. The other shop is much better but even they have some serious problems. For one, they are only open 4 days a week and Wednesdays they're only open for 4 hours in the afternoon when most people are at work. Their location is very far from me also, which is only an issue for me, some ppl probably love the location, obviously. Why I'm saying all this I have no idea. I think I'm just bored and feel like talking about BULLSHIT.
