Hey guys, I'm opening up a gaming/nerd shop over in the greater Buffalo, NY area. I will be carrying Anime, Comics, Figures, Collectibles, D20 Gaming supplies (like D&D and Pathfinder), Magic the Gathering and a section of Horror/Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies. The official name is The Dragons Den and we already bought the building...looking for a spring opening. We will also be setting up at Conventions around the North East.
We will have an open gaming area for D&D players who have no where to play or no one to play with and be holding MTG tournaments...

Still have a lot of time to go...so my question..is does anyone have any ideas? or what would you like to see at a local gaming/nerd store...or what would you like to see them carry? What kind of services would you like them to offer? Thanks for the interest

Sell some old games (like before the sixth generation).

Hi, my name is Alph. I live on a planet named Koppai. I am famous for saving my planet from starvation. My best friends are Brittany and Captain Olimar, NOT Captain Charlie. I like surfing the KopNet and playing Kopetball.

It is always great to have a sort of computer database for the products you currently have. The main stores I go to have this, so they can tell me if they have a specific comic or game. Now, it doesn't have to be every product, as listing the small individual comics wouldn't be productive, but the big volumes or graphic novels will.

A local game store near me has a bunch of T.V.s and game systems set up so every game that they have open is available to play for free. I love this because I get to try a game, and make sure I like it before I actually have to pay a penny for it.
