No time wasters.

my local games exchange place just closed too.

Hmmm, there there seems to be a pattern emerging.


i think, sir, this would be an un-wise carreer move.

My local shop is very depressing. It's small and no-ones ever in there as it's right on the out-skirts of the town centre.

If you do make one set-up some consoles for people to play on with the latest games. The game you put on play put on special offer as well and watch the money come rolling in. This will attract people in the shop.

A lot of exchange shops look cheap and tacky. Try to think of a good name and decorate your shop.

A futuristic design should look good; the X-Box colours would be perfect.

Also try and get in a few new games as well. Sell them cheap and do some nice special offers.

Make sure the shop is based in the middle of the Town centre...

I also hate the way you only get a little bit of money for the games you sell to x-change shops. Try to do a special deal where you can swap a used game for a used game. Without any money involved.
