SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi everyone, I was curious if there is or was an event of this nature around the Pittsburgh PA area. I haven't seen anything but it never hurts to ask. There has to be something going on there or at least some killer old school game stores tucked away. I'm assuming anyway.. It would be convenient since I'm about 50 minutes away over in the Ohio Valley. It would be cool to meet up with collectors in this area and buy/sell/trade and whatnot. Let me know if you know anything folks, I appreciate it! Thanks everyone, Cheers - Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateers69 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You could try "The Exchange" movies,CDs,records and video games as well. The earliest video games I've seen so far is Nes. I think their are some in the Ohio area too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think I got the last of the Atari 2600 stuff from Monroeville Exchange over a year ago, I was told it was the collected leftovers from all exchanges in the Pa area, 120+ carts for $10.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Holy cow hyperboy, ya raped em! What a haul.. Lucky you. Yeah I forgot about the exchange, it's been a couple years since I've been to the one in Oakland. I remember a few classic gaming goodies but IIRC, the prices were a bit steep. I just can't believe Pittsburgh doesn't have an expo or convention once a year like most other places. Disappointing.. Well I just need to go thrift shopping all around and see what I can find. Rodgers flea market is pretty good in the summer time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I make a thrift trip at least twice a year from West Virginia through and around Pittsburgh for 2 days. Very rarely have I come up empty handed. I have made a few BIG hauls from Exchanges, Car load size hauls, I buy in bulk and negotiate prices!

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) That's how I like to roll! Definitely bulk, not wasting gas just for a couple Genesis controllers. Maybe income tax time and spring time will be the best time to go. I'm gonna save some money up and start making a list of places of interest in the Burgh. That's going to be a challenge though besides the usual suspects. Looking forward to Rogers flea market here in Ohio soon, they always have classic games.. And fake Oakley sunglasses which I usually grab a few pairs.. Lol Edited February 9, 2014 by SiLic0ne t0aD85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
