Go outside.  Apparently the owner got complaints from parents of kids who had been "ripped off" on her watch, so she sends them outside to trade.  That way, she isn't part of the deal.All the CCG singles they buy/sell (as opposed to packs) are in boxes behind the counter.  They have binders with prints of the cards (either color photocopies or maybe catalog prints from the publisher) available for perusal.Game demos.  Lots of game demos.10% discount if you pre-order an upcoming title.Limited amount of used/consignment sales.  Keep this to a minimum; your markup isn't nearly as good.jtb</blockquote>
