The Marketplace — Local services in West Columbia

So, there are a lot of vendors with a massive number of different items.

The issue is that we found several items marked as "vintage" that were not, though the price would say otherwise. Expect prices like an antique mall, when you could find some items in a thrift store for less than $10.

I saw the add on Facebook marketplace, and after today's visit I have to say that this is by far the greatest place that I have purchased retro video games, I asked if I could please get a discount or some kind of deal, just out of curiosity, because I live in Raleigh and I just happen to be working in Columbia (Mobile Mechanic here), so the gentleman that I was speaking to, called the owner who was nice enough to offer me a great deal on Nintendo 64 games today, I'm so happy that I stopped by. Definitely a place that I would go back and check again when I have to return to Columbia. They also have a ton of...
