Collectors who trusted us with their childhood
Real drop-offs at the Elm Street counter — swing by Tuesday to Saturday and you will probably meet a few of them.
My launch-day SNES had no sound for years. RetroLoot recapped it and diagnosed a cracked trace I never would have found. Sounds better than the day I bought it in 1992.

They recovered a 21-year-old Pokémon Emerald save that my son thought was gone forever. Backed it up to a file too. Worth every dollar and then some.

Brought in a JAMMA board that a "cheaper" shop had given up on. They reflowed it, replaced two chips, and stress-tested it for a full day before I picked it up. Pros.

The xStation install in my PS1 is flawless — every game loads instantly and the HDMI picture is razor sharp. Clear pricing and they texted me updates the whole time.
