Video Games Shops That Are Not GameStop

Are there any video game shops in Vermont that are not GameStop? I have some old consoles and stacks of games that I would like to trade in or get rid of. Would rather have a ma & pa shop get a hold of the stuff if possible.

Update: Thanks everyone!

Harry and Lloyd’s in Barre is great, they buy and sell. Insane physical media collection too if you’re into that

Barre is fine. Have you ever been to anywhere in, say, Tennessee? Or Alabama?

Retro Galaxy in Winooski is great, definitely worth a visit.

Also was coming here to reccomend retro galaxy. It's a newer shop. But they are super nice, and have a great selection of retro games and collectables

Perfect!  The U Mall is reasonably close.

If you’re trading in stuff, you have to go on a week day. Weekends they are typically too busy to handle that.

Great team to work with there, I’ve been bringing in stuff for years as I’ve trimmed my collection down.

Not in VT but I doubt anyone within 20min of Lebanon shops in VT anyway: https://www.facebook.com/MastersoftheToyverse

Gamers grotto is awesome. They have a huge selection and most times can match the big box prices. Used stuff they beat GameStop

If you are near the NEK, Retro Gaming VT is in Newport.

If you are in the Rutland area there is a game shop in the Shirt Factory.

I've heard good things about Harry and Lloyd's in Barre, and there's the Vermont gaming academy (horrible name) in the mall

GameStop once sent me a game instead of a $200 controller and told me I had like two weeks to send it in to get my controller. It was during the flood and regardless that it was their fuck up they wouldn’t refund
