Also for everyone, do NOT use Pricecharting for Atari commons. Rares sure, but Pricecharting for whatever reason is way too high on commons. Games that we (and Game Swap) sell for $0.25, $0.49 and $0.99 can be $5-7 on there. And if you go look at the listings Pricecharting generates that's the case there too. I don't know how it turns all those penny Combats on Amazon into $2-3, but it does. It has gotten better than it was about that but it's still pretty bad.
The pricecharting listings for Atari commons gets inflated by BINs that bake the cost of free shipping into the price.
West Virginia: Pixelnation in Bluefield is now CLOSED (RIP)
Virginia: -There is a cool retro game store in Roanoke called Electronic Expo
-G2K Games in Cedar Bluff is now CLOSED
You appear to be in my neck of the woods! Sad to hear about Pixelnation, I picked up a few games from there about a year ago for really good deal. Was in a shoddy part of town though.
Never heard of Electronic Expo. What is that like?

Thanks for the updates!
Electronic Expo is a cool store. They just moved to downtown Roanoke and have some good stuff. They will also work with you on prices.
I have another store to add: -Computer Wiz in MacArthur WV is one of the best looking stores around. Tons of cool stuff. Loads of games. He is high on his prices typically, but he will work with you. It is right off of I77N on Exit 42.
People who work there are nice but it's not like other retro game stores that you can walk up and ask for a lower price. for the most part the prices are good. Some more known games like smash on gamecube they price higher simply because right when they put it out it sells instantly. Actually got a copy of the zelda windwaker 3 game bonus for 60$. They had no idea the version they had was the one with rare box art.
I noticed that the Slackers locations in Missouri were listed, but I don't see any of the Illinois locations listed. It's all the same company, but they have three locations in IL that are within the St. Louis Metro area.
Alton, IL
Glen Carbon, IL
O'Fallon, IL (not to be confused with the O'Fallon, MO location - two different stores)
Yes, there are two different towns called O'Fallon within the St. Louis Metro area within a 60 minute drive of each other but in different states.
I noticed that the OP says "GA Gamers" for Carrollton, GA. Actually, those are two different shops almost right next to each other. One is "Gamers," which you already have listed for Villa Rica and Carrollton (they have two locations). The other is "GA Game Shop." I went to both today.
We lost another Retro game store this evening. So sad to see Regency Games Plus in Waterford, CT has closed it's doors. I haven't stopped by there in about a month and I was shocked to see it was gone. This little store was such a GEM. I got A LOT of cool stuff in there. Complete boxed MINT condition titles. The kid that worked there said I was their biggest NES customer and he would always hook me up with GREAT deals. SUCKS! Sad to see it go.
When I walked away anger built as I looked to the Game Stop right next to Regency filled with customers...They have no idea.....
