@onf dang, that's cool! I wish I could go there myself, I wonder if they have some Apple Newton stuff and I've seen some lovely Sony PVMs in the video

@noiob I think he actually bought a Macintosh or something there, so maybe!

@onf yeah according to the video they have a bunch of Apple stuff, and I'm just assuming that you can find any rare hardware there if you dig deep enough :D

@noiob That's the impression I get. If I was super rich I'd be tempted to buy a huge warehouse somewhere, have a group of people go there and excavate as much as absolutely possible, organize it properly, and then sell it off.

Also, I saw in your thread you were talking about retro game stores... kind of useless information, but we actually have one here that seems to be doing pretty well. They even have an arcade!

@onf yeah I'd love to do that too

Neat! There's a cool local game store around here that seems to be doing okay but they seem to make their money mostly with MTG cards and importing collectible figurines

@noiob This store is pretty much all games. They also have a bin full of crappy DVDs for some reason, and they used to have a comic collection until they broke off from the guy running it, but it's otherwise all games. Here's their website. https://super1upgames.com/

@onf cool, I guess it's large enough to attract people from further away? Also the local store here has almost the same name, what a coincidence https://de-de.facebook.com/oneupstoreaachen

@noiob I'm not actually sure about that, though there's actually a local con coming up in a few weeks they're affiliated with that draws people from (literally!) around the world called Conbravo, that they get a lot of business from. I'll be sure to mention their German clone, haha. (I guess the name's not that creative, it's just one of the most famous powerups from Mario after all.)
