So I've seen did since, since he 16 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,500 has coped, well with that Fame and stardom that comes with chat 17 00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:02,500 into the You sometimes me, I think. 18 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:04,400 I think she wants to be a regular on the show. 19 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,700 He does. Yeah, she does. 20 00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:08,100 Yeah. So but then I'm looking forward 21 00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:11,500 to hearing more about Titan games and listening to Nick and 22 00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:15,300 trying to sneak around I guess game sales, trading sales, cause 23 00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:19,300 we haven't got, I don't know of a game store in the UK. 24 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,800 That allows you to go in and trade games. 25 00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:23,700 Really? That interesting. 26 00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:29,200 I do my training either on face book or like a game conventions. 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,500 Bring them by Exhales. So I'd like to know more. 28 00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:35,600 I have suggested this idea to a couple of friend local game 29 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,000 stores and they looked at me as if I was crazy. 30 00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,700 So let's see, whether Nick is crazy and makes it work. 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,000 Yeah. So we figured that we'd invite 32 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,200 Nick, he's a local game store, owner and operator. 33 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,400 Is that the right term Nick? Own operating? 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,300 Yeah. Um and we thought it'd be great 35 00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:58,000 to have you on to talk about this topic, but I figured, let's 36 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000 let's begin real. Quick question is, how do 37 00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:02,400 Started in the hobby. Like, what was your first game? 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,200 And how did you get into this? Sure. 39 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,800 So there's kind of two starts in Hobby gaming. 40 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:13,300 One was when I was, you know, in my 10 from like 10 to 13 in that 41 00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,500 range. Yeah, my parents bought me a 42 00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:18,300 couple games one of those Bean Battle Masters, which PJ, and I 43 00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:22,100 have actually gotten to play once which is kind of crazy and 44 00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,300 also playing a lot of D&D with friends, in a one of our buddies 45 00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:28,000 basements. But then, as I got in high 46 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,900 school and college, I kind of drifted away. 47 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,800 Away from it a little bit. And then when I got out of 48 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,600 college started working and doing different things, I had a 49 00:02:35,608 --> 00:02:38,100 group of friends that started playing Catan regularly, so that 50 00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,700 sort of brought me back into the fold really quickly. 51 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,100 And then I got involved with X-wing miniatures game and a 52 00:02:44,108 --> 00:02:46,800 number of other things. Before I knew it, I was running 53 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,700 events at our local store and shortly after that, they were 54 00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:52,400 asking me to come on as an owner and open another location. 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,000 The rest is history. Yeah. 56 00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:59,300 And how long have you been running sites and games? 57 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,200 So Had our Springfield location. Now for eight years, I've 58 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,900 actually been with a company about nine years and the 59 00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:08,900 champagne store is celebrating their 10th anniversary this 60 00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:11,300 year. How many how many locations do 61 00:03:11,308 --> 00:03:12,500 you got? All right? 62 00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:14,500 Now, just the two champagne in Springfield. 63 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,500 Yep. Ten years. 64 00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:18,900 Wow. Yeah, that does not look like it 65 00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:24,800 has been that long at all, and you've had to put up with me for 66 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,000 the last five. So I'm sorry about that among 67 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,300 many other people. Yes. 68 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:37,600 And what well what's the, what the components of the other 69 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,500 store. So in the UK we have, they're 70 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:44,900 pretty much thought or some now have a cafe with, with the way 71 00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:46,800 you can rent and play board games. 72 00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:49,900 Was it a pure store or is it what the components? 73 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,900 So yeah, I know this can vary greatly. 74 00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:57,800 Yeah, not only within the us but obviously overseas to where our 75 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,800 locations are specifically retail Plus Play Space. 76 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,300 So we do a certain amount of event management & event running 77 00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:06,900 for different games but it is primarily a retail location. 78 00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:12,300 So but we do have the play Space to support events for many. 79 00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:15,100 If not all of the games that we have on our Shelf. 80 00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:19,600 What's the most popular game in the Play Space is that all well 81 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,899 games? Or is it like magic the 82 00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:22,400 Gathering or? Yeah. 83 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,100 So we do a lot of Magic the Gathering. 84 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,900 It's a very casual crowd at our Springfield location here which 85 00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:29,900 is kind of nice and fun and its own way. 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,400 Way. But then, we also have a pretty 87 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,900 big board game night actually. Every Wednesday, we have open 88 00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,900 board game night. That's one of our bigger events, 89 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,900 consistently every week. We also have a number of groups 90 00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:44,000 that play Dungeons & Dragons or other role-playing games 91 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,100 throughout the week as well. So it's kind of hard to pick 92 00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:49,300 one. I would say, most consistent is 93 00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:53,400 probably our board game night though, cool, and them compete 94 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,800 with just bring their own games, along with you. 95 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,600 Got a pool game Library. Yes, we have a small library of 96 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,900 gate demo games that people can pick up and play it anytime. 97 00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:02,400 I'm but everybody's welcome to bring in their own games as 98 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,100 well. And it seems like we kind of go 99 00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,300 in these rotations, where will have different groups that are 100 00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:11,100 bringing in their own games, and there's another group that's 101 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,200 kind of playing the games out of the library. 102 00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:15,300 Yeah. And then, as they sort of, get 103 00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:17,400 more into the hobby, the people are playing at the library, they 104 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,300 start buying their own games, and they got their own games to 105 00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:20,900 bring. And then there's a new group 106 00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:23,000 that starts play it out of the library and it just sort of 107 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,700 Cycles back and forth. It's kind of interesting and 108 00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:28,600 he's every child used to playing in the for our board game 109 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,600 nights. We do not have any Ew, it's just 110 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,500 an open night for anybody to come in and play. 111 00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:36,000 It's a store still open, so I find it a. 112 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,700 So, let's just stop oven for retail. 113 00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:39,500 Yes. Cool. 114 00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:43,500 Guess what? That's always the danger. 115 00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:45,300 That's a really cool game. Yeah. 116 00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:48,400 And do you do food and food and drink or people bring their own? 117 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,300 So we do not do any food and drink. 118 00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:53,100 There's a couple of different reasons for that but one of them 119 00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:55,600 is in we're in the state of Illinois. 120 00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:58,900 There's some very specific guidelines for writing drink 121 00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:03,000 establishments which is End of an area that we don't have the 122 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,700 expertise and we're just not willing to kind of like dip our 123 00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:07,800 toe in and mess it up. And all the sudden we've got all 124 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,000 the state agencies all over us to deal with it. 125 00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:13,900 We're just not going to mess with that bird went away. 126 00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:17,700 Yeah, simple, awesome. So PJ said that mentioned to me 127 00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:21,600 that you guys do secondhand game cells. 128 00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:26,400 So how does how does that work? So we do one per year one 129 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,600 weekend per year at each of our locations. 130 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,400 So we do kind of a spring that are Springfield store and a fall 131 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,100 one at our champagne store. And just so everybody kind of 132 00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:38,600 understands the difference are two stores are about an hour and 133 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,800 a half drive away from each other. 134 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,700 It's about 100 miles or so. So they're just far enough apart 135 00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:47,000 that like you're probably not popping over for the day. 136 00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,100 Yeah but you know for a big event. 137 00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:50,600 Yeah. Going over for the weekend or 138 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,600 for the day is not a big deal. So we started doing this five, 139 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,200 six years ago. Now, I think maybe a little 140 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,000 longer than that. And we just saw it as a good 141 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,300 opportunity for a lot of our regular customers that buy games 142 00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:08,000 from us regularly to kind of go through their Collections. 143 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,400 And say, you know what, I really don't need these three games 144 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,100 that are a lot like other games that I want to buy that maybe 145 00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:16,900 have a better theme or just found their way out of my 146 00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:20,400 regular rotation and it's a good way for them to kind of cash 147 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,000 those games in for store credit and use it to buy the stuff, 148 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,600 they do actually want coming out. 149 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,300 So and it's also a great opportunity for people that are 150 00:07:28,308 --> 00:07:32,700 maybe newer to the Obby to pick up some games that, you know, 151 00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:35,000 maybe it's been out for ten years but they're new to the 152 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,400 Hobby. Haven't played it yet. 153 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,800 It's a good game at a good price and they can take it home and 154 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:45,000 get started with that. Look at one of the questions 155 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,100 I've been asking me to leave. It talks about a seven here is 156 00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:49,700 been knowing whether the games complete. 157 00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:54,200 Do you do a check or is there any conditions that that is 158 00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:58,400 consistent concern? I guess is probably the best way 159 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,300 to put it but as part of our seller sign up, you are 160 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,900 essentially affirming that all of your game pieces are there 161 00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:09,500 and complete. I think we've had one issue 162 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,000 because interest in the five or six years that we had. 163 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,900 And literally like the day after the sale, the person that sold 164 00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:19,700 the game was like I was going through other stuff and I found 165 00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:21,200 these cards. Can you get them to whoever 166 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,400 bought it? It's like, yeah, we can do that. 167 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,200 Like that's not a problem. So don't even notice. 168 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,000 It's not. Yeah, I think I mean, I know 169 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,600 Percy the board gamer. I look after my games and Emily 170 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,100 stuff doesn't go missing. Yeah, it was one of those it was 171 00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:38,100 like cards from an expansion that they included. 172 00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:41,299 But the, you know, the original box wasn't in there because 173 00:08:41,299 --> 00:08:42,299 everything kind of fit in the mainstream. 174 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,700 Inbox. But there was some extra cards 175 00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:45,900 that were promo cards or something. 176 00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,400 They put in the expansion box to store, so it was just one of 177 00:08:49,408 --> 00:08:51,600 those. Like it wasn't even necessary 178 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,400 components to the game but of stuff that went with the games 179 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,100 they wanted to make sure the new person got it reminds me of my 180 00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:00,000 sold some games on Facebook and I think it was Lords of 181 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,800 waterdeep and the expansion but they were, there were some cards 182 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,100 mixed up and I saw both games are different people and then 183 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,100 and then we realized that they were cards in the wrong box 184 00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:14,800 sizes said, hey guys, this then, Each other actually it works its 185 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,300 way it worked out, okay? But I guess sending it a games 186 00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:20,800 convention, you just don't know who's taking it and that would 187 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,800 have been would have been a bit of a disaster. 188 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,200 So I learnt my lesson at that point, I mean, that is one 189 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,200 advantage that if we did ever have an issue like that, where 190 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,600 somewhere a buyer took home, a game, find out there were 191 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,700 missing components or something wrong with it. 192 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000 We do have a registered list of all the owners of exactly who 193 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,600 had sold that game. Yeah. 194 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,300 So we can immediately just Say, you know what, it wasn't 195 00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,900 complete will do a refund or will talk to that person. 196 00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:49,300 See if they happen to know where those pieces are. 197 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,300 So we've got a way to track that backwards. 198 00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:54,600 If any buyers have any issues with stuff and nice. 199 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,500 Look, luckily, all of our buyers are essentially from yellow cool 200 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,500 in our local community. So it's not a like, you know, we 201 00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,300 got to track this person down states away to try and find him 202 00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:08,800 and get this stuff. It's usually just a matter of 203 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,700 the Facebook message or a quick call saying hey you happen to 204 00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:13,900 know what happened. This and then he on with it, you 205 00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:17,900 know. So so so Nick in the community 206 00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:22,500 of retailers in the US and he way more for our friends 207 00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:26,800 overseas on our listeners. So you notice that not every 208 00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:31,200 game store in the US, has a used game sale specifically. 209 00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:36,700 Like Titan, does, what goes in that process for you and the use 210 00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:41,900 game sale and maybe some of your other retail owners who choose 211 00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:43,500 to do? Ooh, a different type of, you 212 00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,800 know what I'm saying? A different form of used game 213 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,100 trade, sure. So, there are some stores in the 214 00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:54,100 US that have like permanent used game sections, which is kind of 215 00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:57,200 a whole different beast in and of itself depending on how they 216 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,700 have it set up. We've opted for this once-a-year 217 00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:04,500 thing partially. So it is kind of a special event 218 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,800 and it's also kind of spaced out so that are one in Springfield 219 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,700 at least is kind of early in the spring. 220 00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:16,400 Simply because we realized that a lot of the big news for 221 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,200 releases kind of comes out first quarter of the year, at least 222 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,500 the announcements will, so then people can kind of be planning. 223 00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:26,500 Okay, I've got to make room in my collection for this stuff 224 00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:28,200 that I definitely want to get this year. 225 00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,700 So it gives everybody that opportunity to make some room in 226 00:11:30,708 --> 00:11:32,500 their collection early in the year. 227 00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,500 And then, as those things released throughout the year, at 228 00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:38,300 gencon, it Origins wherever whatever they're going to do 229 00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:40,400 with it. There's room for them in the 230 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,400 collection already to be back. Bill did so nice and at the same 231 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,300 time, all the games they got, you know, over Christmas 232 00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:49,900 holidays Thanksgiving. All those ones. 233 00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:51,300 They couldn't quite fit in there. 234 00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:52,900 They know what game they want to pull out. 235 00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:54,100 It's time to get it out of there. 236 00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:58,100 So, yeah, I think I guess I did the same with, with you to the 237 00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:01,000 UK games Expo, which is the end of May June. 238 00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:03,800 I just stay all just stack up. I can see him looking at me now 239 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,600 and I take I take them and then dump them for the weekend. 240 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,400 I guess I've got control on my pricing. 241 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,400 Where's you guys? How does your, how does your 242 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,400 price of mechanics work? So the only things that we 243 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,700 regulate pricing on in our use game sale are games that we 244 00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:24,800 specifically like have on the Shelf. 245 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,700 Okay, so it's one of those like if we have Pandemic on the shelf 246 00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:33,300 for 50 bucks and you want to sell your used copy for 45, does 247 00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:35,800 that make sense for anybody? Yeah, they're what. 248 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,400 Yeah, you know. So it's fair, we just with those 249 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,500 games, you have to be no more than 50% of MSRP. 250 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,300 Which is it's a decent discount that you're getting to use Game 251 00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:47,700 even if you could get a new one for ya that. 252 00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:52,100 But if I put in a now have to bring game, yeah, that's totally 253 00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:53,500 up to you. He's close it for whatever you 254 00:12:53,508 --> 00:12:56,300 want to. I do tell people on out of print 255 00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:59,500 stuff like that, it's kind of Hit or Miss year to year. 256 00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:01,200 What can fires were going to have? 257 00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:04,500 There have been years that I watched one guy, walk around one 258 00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:07,200 year, literally pick up every game that I'm like, oh, I 259 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,200 learned about that one this year. 260 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,700 I learned about that one this year, that's really expensive 261 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,400 and you Like I spent a couple hundred bucks on games that are 262 00:13:13,408 --> 00:13:16,000 just hard to find. Yeah, but then we've also had 263 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,900 other years where there's a number of those games that are 264 00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:21,500 hard to find kind of unobtainium things and they just sit there 265 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,500 like they're at a reasonable price but there's just not 266 00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:25,700 somebody interested in.

I've worked with sellers that 321 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,900 are kind of families and they have like a group of games that 322 00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,600 their kids would play with them but now they're kids have kind 323 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,900 of outgrown those games.

The reason a lot of my personal 350 00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:46,000 games are going into this hill this year because we've got some 351 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,500 more kids on the way and with that we're in a house that 352 00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,800 doesn't have a ton of room. So we have to be very particular 353 00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:55,100 About what games were actually keeping and which ones are 354 00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:57,000 getting out of the way, so we can have more stuff. 355 00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:00,700 So I think it's, I think it's twofold. 356 00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:03,900 So for us space obviously, I think that everyone's issue 357 00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:07,200 right is space. The other 12 is what, gets 3 358 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,100 points, the games that just don't hit the table, right? 359 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,600 Yes. An opportunity to get rid of 360 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,100 them and it never fails. Particularly the last year. 361 00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,100 We found Grand Austria hotel which has been on my wish list 362 00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:22,100 forever out of print we managed to find It. 363 00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:24,100 And then, you know, like there was Murano. 364 00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:27,600 We found that at your sales last year and that was like I didn't 365 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,400 even know what that was, but it was out of print, that was 366 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,300 amazing. And, you know, now it's when it 367 00:18:31,308 --> 00:18:32,800 hits the table at least once a month. 368 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,500 It's great. So I really like this idea and 369 00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:39,300 what it does for the Hobby and it keeps it going, you know? 370 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:44,000 So yeah. And she have a say, in the UK, 371 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,900 we have very active School, UK ball games trading and chat on 372 00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:50,400 Facebook. And that is, there's a few 373 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,800 others, but this is the main one. 374 00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:54,700 So it's a chat is to chat group, but that it's a lot of trading, 375 00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:57,600 very trusted well-organized. You got those kind of things in 376 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:03,400 the US or the EU s just too big. To be at I would say yes and no 377 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,500 in like those groups do exist. But I do think that the 378 00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:12,900 geographic limitations of it in the u.s. also play into that a 379 00:19:12,908 --> 00:19:16,400 little bit. I mean, I'm sure that multiple 380 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,200 regions communities do have that kind of stuff specifically set 381 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,000 up. However, I don't believe there's 382 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,600 one where we are necessarily but I could be completely wrong 383 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,800 that. Yeah, no, didn't I? 384 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,600 That's neat. A lot of folks in the u.s. do or 385 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,600 Game Geek trades or math trades and all that kind of stuff. 386 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,100 But I'm just not super familiar with that aspect of the, the 387 00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:42,300 trading lending. Yeah, borrowing and stealing 388 00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:44,400 section of. So things will Pool Game Geek. 389 00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:48,600 I have never traded, and then, as for maths trade math trades, 390 00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:52,400 I have investigated. I've looked at them, I've never 391 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,000 done one, but anyone listening would like to educate me on how 392 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,700 they work? Because I've been told by it's 393 00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:01,500 quite nice. Active Instagram group in the 394 00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:03,800 UK, who they all seem. Now I've gotten boarded 395 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,000 masquerades, and they're saying it's easy, but I think it's just 396 00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:10,800 it's like once you learn to swim or you had to matter trade is 397 00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:14,200 your done, but they always look so intimidating. 398 00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:18,400 It's one of those things like conceptually understand how its 399 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,600 best work. I just don't think I've ever 400 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,200 taken that step to be like, okay, let's try this. 401 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,100 Yeah, you know, yeah, I think it's just that. 402 00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:27,700 Yeah. Just he's just sitting and 403 00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:30,500 vending get an hour just going, right? 404 00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:33,600 It's this how you do it. I think it's relatively easy but 405 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,600 it just requires a bit more thinking time like you say just 406 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,500 yeah. So I need to try I'm a traitor. 407 00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:43,400 Maybe another another opportunity, I mean the other 408 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,100 advantage to how we do it in our story. 409 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,700 Anytime you do those online trades, you're going to have 410 00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:49,200 shipping evolved with some. Yeah. 411 00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:53,800 And as we all know most board games aren't the lightest things 412 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,800 in the world, the ship. So you're easily looking at, you 413 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,700 know, seven to ten bucks to ship. 414 00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:04,200 Yeah, even a small game really. So I think as those rates have 415 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,700 gone up, it's made it a little more difficult to do that stuff 416 00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:08,600 for a little harder to justify it. 417 00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:11,300 Versus drop them off at your local store. 418 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,900 Have them for the weekend. They're done. 419 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,300 That is the appeal. Who are you saying the tenth of 420 00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:18,300 said before the conventions? Yep. 421 00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:20,600 Same time. Having boxes in the house, 422 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,400 having peanuts, and packaging material. 423 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,100 What? I know when I sell things on the 424 00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:28,400 same, the Facebook group, I might put up 50 games to sell 425 00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:30,200 and that's it. That's my, that's my weekend. 426 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,800 Ruins, not really. That's what you're doing. 427 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,300 All you're doing is answering and people are trying to trying 428 00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:37,800 to negotiate and usually work out this person. 429 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,200 B first, that's the first five hours and then it's like, oh, 430 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,800 now I need to see and package everything up. 431 00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:45,100 Oh my God, another three or four. 432 00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:48,700 I was so so. Well I guess it, I guess. 433 00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:50,700 I don't I'm not giving. I'm taking all the money for 434 00:21:50,700 --> 00:21:52,600 yourself. I got cuffs or packaging to do 435 00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:56,800 the time allowance that you have to put in again turning up. 436 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,200 Somewhere here. They all are and then I guess 437 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,100 you guys take you guys take a percentage of the sale. 438 00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:06,500 Yes so welcome, anybody who sells their game if it sells 439 00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:09,200 they'll get 90% of the Hill price and still read it. 440 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,400 Yeah. Same as the Expo takes a second. 441 00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:15,100 Most of that's because we allow people to pay using like credit 442 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,900 Cards debit cards, whatever they want to do. 443 00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:19,100 So, there are some fees involved with, yeah, as well. 444 00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:21,800 Some hours by our employees, to just get everything set up and 445 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,600 ready to go. He says cool about having a 446 00:22:24,608 --> 00:22:28,100 stand permanently install. We've actually discussed it a 447 00:22:28,108 --> 00:22:31,900 number of times, and there's kind of two different ways to go 448 00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:35,900 about doing it. One of them is essentially 449 00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:39,600 having a consignment area, for lack of better terms, and the 450 00:22:39,608 --> 00:22:42,500 other way is for the store to straight out by the game. 451 00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:45,100 Yeah, I'm whoever selling them and just have them in that you 452 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:51,100 Section there are benefits and attractions from both sides of 453 00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:55,400 it. And I think a combination of 454 00:22:56,500 --> 00:22:58,600 Just need any more information on them in general. 455 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,800 And also having some space limitations within the store 456 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,600 where we are already has made it difficult for us to do just yet. 457 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,700 It is something we've talked about, for probably the last two 458 00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:12,000 or three years and then we also on top of that discuss, you 459 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,300 know, if we do have a permanent section, how is that different 460 00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:20,100 than this twice a year? Special sale that we do is 461 00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,500 there, is there a perk to doing one over the other. 462 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,000 So we've been trying to Look at all the options and balance out 463 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,300 how a permanent section might work in our store. 464 00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:32,300 And I think we've got a fairly good concept. 465 00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:36,000 We want to kind of get through this year and see ya if the 466 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,300 balance is right, and if we can make it work but the other part 467 00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:41,100 of it is it's kind of fun just to have these two weeks. 468 00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:42,800 Yeah. Where it's, it's crazy. 469 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:48,700 And we think from the second year on here, in Springfield on 470 00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:52,700 Saturday morning, at least an hour before the store opens, 471 00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:54,800 there's a line down to the end of the love. 472 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,500 It will just just ready to jump in there and grab the game. 473 00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:01,600 So it's sort of hearing under the window, right? 474 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,900 I see the game, I want on that table and I'm going to get, I 475 00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:07,700 said, can you people drop off before, so I can drop off 476 00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:12,100 happens, starting this coming, Saturday, through the Wednesday, 477 00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:15,000 before the weekend. So we then have two days in 478 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,800 store to process all the games, get everything tag, ready to go. 479 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,600 And then, that Saturday will be the first day of the sale 480 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,700 itself. Um, so give us the dates and the 481 00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:27,500 information Now, while we're talking about that, if you were 482 00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:32,000 so the first day for drop off is I got a double check this real 483 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,100 quick, that would be March. 25th is the first day for drop-offs 484 00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:40,700 the last day to drop off your games would be March 29th and 485 00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:45,000 then the sale is April 1st and 2nd, Saturday and Sunday. 486 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,300 What time?

You to a lot into that live. 493 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:09,700 It's Instagram life like we did last year. 494 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,600 Yeah, we did that last year. Do we do that the night before 495 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,600 when you were helping set up? PJ we did we did. 496 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,600 Yeah. Yeah. 497 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,000 So yeah. The night before the sale so 498 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,700 Friday night after we've kind of set everything up, we usually do 499 00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:23,800 a little walk around video member. 500 00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:28,000 Yeah. I didn't even think about this, 501 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,200 I thought it was just kind of a, you know, a nice way to show 502 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,200 people. Like there's a lot of games this 503 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,900 sale and like, the next day, the first three people in line had 504 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,400 mapped out in their head, just from watching the video like 505 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,300 where exactly that game is that they want and they knew, as soon 506 00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:47,700 as the door opened the hood, go to that spot, pick the game up 507 00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:51,000 and check it out. And there was just thinking the 508 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,700 same, I think any says, yes this gives me Prime in Prime in 509 00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:56,100 sight. Or Intel. 510 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,000 Oh yeah, into whether go pretty well, I'll make sure that I do 511 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,600 that for you and you can watch it. 512 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,200 And then yeah, send me a message or be like, hey, I want this 513 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,400 game and then did the seventy dollars to ship it to the UK, 514 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,400 right? Or until you visit or I visit 515 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,400 you. I think I think if you remember 516 00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:16,500 like Nick you could answer this one of our friends on Instagram, 517 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,100 actually reached out to you last year about games for the use 518 00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:25,000 game sale. I think it was one, was it? 519 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,200 I think it was one of our friends in Poland. 520 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,400 Yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. 521 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,400 Now all of our listeners, know exactly who were talking. 522 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,700 Yeah, whoo. Yeah, yeah. 523 00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:39,200 So, but I think the shipping was cost prohibitive. 524 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,400 Right. Yeah, I bet it is. 525 00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:42,600 Yeah, it was gonna be a little rough. 526 00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:45,100 Again, board games are not light item. 527 00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:48,100 No, no, no, shipping is not cheap. 528 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,800 And at that point, we were kind of at the height of the really 529 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,600 crazy shit course. He's yeah. 530 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,200 Do so that was definitely not helping out with that. 531 00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:58,700 Yeah, but you're not opposed. You would be willing if any of 532 00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:01,400 our listeners wanted to try to order something from you. 533 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,200 Yeah, I don't think we're putting it online this year. 534 00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:07,700 Okay. This run into too many issues or 535 00:27:07,700 --> 00:27:11,600 potential issues. Where as a retailer we have 536 00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:14,600 minimum advertisers pricing requirements. 537 00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:18,200 Yeah, and buy some of those agreements. 538 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,400 Even a used game, which we do not technically own. 539 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:26,500 If we are advertising it for sale would put Pus in default of 540 00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:30,400 that agreement. So just to alleviate any of 541 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,400 those issues. I think this year we're not 542 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,200 going to do any online. Just again to keep it simple for 543 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:41,100 everybody and we still typically see between 65 and 80, percent 544 00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:42,700 of the game, sell them any given year. 545 00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:46,600 So it's it's really nuts than the a crazy weekend for 546 00:27:46,608 --> 00:27:48,200 everybody but it's a lot of fun too. 547 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,100 I love it.
