Nice response - What kind of store do you have?- The Amiibo raffle sounds like a great idea Is it possible for me to respond directly without using "quote" each time? Someone told me before but it s been awhile and i can t remember |
Oh yeah, it was a great idea to have give those out. It actually fostered competition among the last 3 winners. All three have already entered an amiibo competition and the Yoshi got to the third round. The other two sadly just weren't trained, but then again Yoshi did have two months longer than the other two. The amiibo thing is actually flying for us. Other kids who bought walmart priced amiibos would come in to play. If we could only find a direct retailer with Nintendo, we would just sell them at our store for the same price.
We're a hobbyist, a pawn shop, a computer repair, a gamer hub, card tournament holder, videogame competition, karaoke night, talent night all rolled into one giant store. It depends on what time of the month we're in. Our daily function serves as a place where anyone may play a game of leagues of Legends or sit at a couch to play console games. Pick which one you want, we got one for preference. Not surprising, Nintendos taken the Game Couch with Smash bros. With a 60 inch TV and 8 player smash. We charge to rent the use of a "controller", wiimote, advance control, gamecube of course, for a dollar for a full hour. If you have your own, use it. The regulars already know to bring their controllers in their backpacks. The stoners are the ones who rent for a dollar the most. They always seem to forget to bring a controller.
Though Leagues is our constant. Kids come after school and bring their whole teams, 5 v 5. We have a total of 20 computer so get to have four full teams during a night. Weekends are our theme night. Friday tournaments, we're pretty hug so we can divide our efforts to Smash, TCG and of course Leagues. We charge at a reasonable price of $2.00 for an hour and half of use. If you pay $3, you get 2 and 30 minutes. Sorry, time non-refundable. When the time runs out, you may finish your game to the fullest, but you gots to be steppin' right after. Saturdays are the more experimental nights. People like singing and because of that we've given them a stage. Sundays are our slow burn days. We get our main rush just after 12pm when all the kids and adults who play games come by, then around 7 pm they start going home and only the die hard players are there. Mostly adults who have no curfew. By then it's just a bunch of dudes buying energy drinks and playing a rank game of leagues. It's actually funny, they get so loud and the blame game is always so present.
We buy games, we sell games. If you need to print something, go ahead and use printer for free. Colors $0.20 per page. We limit our "free" to 3, $0.15 after 3, but we are forgiving for mistake prints. We're currently looking into investing in a good 3D printer. Goodness, imagine what kind of sells that's going to get us.
Sorry for the rambling, I'm just so proud of my blood, sweat and tears. In fact, I'm posting here at work. It's like 1:00am.
