Thanks so much guys!! We literally did the amount of sales in one day that we had budgeted for the rest of 2013. People were lined up down the street prior to opening. People were packed in so tight for the first 2 hours that you could barely move around the store (probably 40-50 customers at once). I spent around 6 hours basically just ringing up sales at the til, while my buddy helped people track things down and answered some questions.

When things finally slowed down I got some really awesome trade ins and got a chance to chat with a few customers for a bit too. It was such a blast and people were so encouraging throughout the entire day. And some people were posting pics of the facebook page saying they were so happy to finally complete a set of games they have been looking for (Rogue Squadron and Silent Hill were two cool ones), some people were bragging about what they found and how they were having buddies over for a retro game night, and most people were just plugging the store and saying how great the price/selection/staff was.

It was a fantastic day!!

Not yet, but I have met the guy in person in the store. It's still in the works.
