Visiting the little town of Mount Joy recently I learned about a shop my teenage nephew likes to frequent for game cards and collectibles. I learned there are some antiques that may be of interest to me, and finding it open on Sunday I ventured over.
Dave himself was in the shop, a space filled with all sorts of collectibles and games, comics and figures. Among the pop collections were little bits of jewelry, a few antiques, and some large arcade cabinets. Dave himself is friendly and helpful.
Dave does cleanouts and cleaning services, as well as junk and demolition removal. I imagine the antiques and unrelated items come from the cleanout part of his business. It is a very small part of the inventory.
The shop is very well organized and filled with the kinds of items gamers like to browse. I bought my nephew some new Pokemon cards which Dave recommended because my nephew is in there as often as he has a few dollars to spend. I would say the shop is geared less toward avid war gamers and miniatures games, and more toward popular items like Pokemon, Star Wars, and probably Magic the Gathering, Yugioh, that type of thing.
I think if Dave made a bit of space for a few game tables he could attract local kids to game in his shop and keep a good thing going. read more
