Ray Jay’s Resale

The best way to describe Ray Jay’s is that it’s CLOSED DOWN.
Probably better luck selling this stuff on ebay.

While Ray Jay’s does have a variety of «museum quality vintage» video games and systems, I go here for «the other junk.»
The only reason, really, that I might consider not 5-​starring the place is because you can’t quite pin-​point the demographic.
Yes, it does seem pretty cramped when you go in, but it just means there is more treasure to sift through. There’s also a sizable selection of old VHS and DVDs, but there are also a bunch of collectible dolls, tubs and tubs of miscellaneous little figures, action figures, wooden doll furniture, Lego, Duplo, Fisher Price Little People, collectible plush, trinket boxes, snow globes, porcelain figures, purses, jewelry, kid’s clothes, dog accessories.
I would say a more accurate description is that it’s like a collector’s permanent garage sale. Collector of what? Well. STUFF.
Yes, Mrs. Ray Jay always has a movie going, but it’s not hard to engage her in conversation, and she will pause for a customer. The honest truth is that the store should have been Mr. Ray Jay’s, but he passed away a month before the store opened. It was Mr. Ray Jay whose passion was action figures and video games… but since it’s Mrs. Ray Jay who decided to continue the business in his honor, she’s added things for sale that interest *her* (like the dolls, the ladies’ accessories, and the kid’s stuff).
Another regular calls the place «Mini Comic Con,» which I think is only partly accurate in that it would not be too out of place if she had a stall there. I doubt that I’ve seen any comics in the store, but I’m pretty sure Comic Con itself should really be called Pop Culture Con, these days.
The place is closed on Sundays and Mondays, but she brings out a few new things when she reopens every Tuesday.
You should go say hi, and tell her that Pwn-​y Girl sent you.

The best way to describe Ray Jay’s is that it’s like a video game store from the 90’s that also happens to sell some other junk too. They have bins of NES, SNES, and even Atari games for sale here! Our hero isn’t quite sure who would buy an N64 here for $ 45 though.
«NES games?» said our hero’s friend in an unbelievable tone. «You could probably program one of those in 3 hours these days.»
Does anyone even play NES anymore? Our hero proposes changing the name of this place to «Ray Jay’s Legacy Video Game Museum».
PROS:
— A comprehensive source for outdated video games.
CONS:
— The lady at the counter seemed to enjoy watching TV more than running her store.
— They try to cram too much into a small space.
— Overpriced electronics.
