Whenever I travel for work, one of the first things I do is check Google Maps for a local game shop.
Thanks! You ever go to Classic Game Junkie in Glenside?
Wonderful trailer.
Places here in British Columbia like Microplay and Willow Video played a large part in my early years of console gaming - often the only place to rent or purchase used goods for miles around. Now Games Deal and Press Start in New Westminster have picked up the slack, if you're into retro gaming at all I recommend you check them out.

My favourite local games dealer, who opened 1997 and I'm visiting regularly only since 2013, will close at the end of the year. The shift from physical to digital is only one of several (among private ones) reasons. One business related reason was how Sony has treated small retail shops since the PS3's launch and he doesn't want to go through another next generation release, referring to the PS5. It's a shame.
Interesting project. Will definitely watch!

Hey hey.
Been plugging away in my spare time on the Blu-ray features and the like; we're aiming for this autumn (November, if I had to put a month out there). Just shipped a few IndueGoGo perks out this month, too.
We're currently talking to some people about video game centric conventions to screen at. I also just lucked out with some additional music licensing for the public release version, which is exciting for us behind the scenes.
Sorry, I was going to stop by Pink Gorilla today but didn't have time and it reminded me of this doc.
Thanks for the update, looking forward to it!

We were talking to the PRGE crew but couldn't figure out an ideal way to screen the doc at their venue, which is a shame.
Darn... First time going and I was hoping there would be a screening :x (The wait continues!)

A heads-up:
Not For Resale will be screening Friday at 8 at PAX East!
(Blu-Rays & a digital edition of the movie are going to be announced soon, too)

I sure hope I can make it, but need to decide between PRG or Pax Prime this year (unless it will also be there?) That bump up in dates this year...

Can't access twitter at the moment. Where can I buy it on Blu-ray?
OP

The Blu-Ray will be available for purchase on Amazon, through a link on the movie's website (GameStoreDoc.com) and at conventions/trade shows.

We struck out with them because we're independently publishing and didn't have enough features to our credit; currently planning on Amazon, Vimeo, and Blu-Ray, but working on a few others.
Oh, cool. I'll check it out on Amazon then! Congrats! Looking forward to viewing :)

Thanks! And yup, I'm from Southern Mass, but I've lived in Waltham and Salem.
Awesome. Can't wait to watch this! I couldn't find a link to an Amazon listing on your site. Are you waiting until the 11th to post it?
OP

I was so confused when I got a shipping email yesterday because I didn't recognize your name. It wasn't until I searched my emails for the name did I realize it was my BR copy of this. Really looking forward to it when it finally gets here.

I was going to preorder this on amazon but apparently that isn't an option yet. That said, it looks great and I'll happily nab a Blu-ray copy Day One when it becomes available.

Good call!
We're getting the Amazon listing ironed out now, but we already have a shop up for Blu-Ray pre-orders, too. Vimeo should be up and running this week, too.
Thank you for the reply. Can I ask, is it better for you to get the sales directly or through Amazon?
Because I want to support your considerable efforts.
OP
OP
Wow, that's super kind of you! Thanks for asking!
Going through the site is the best option for us, as Amazon takes a pretty big cut. The streaming version on Amazon has a margin of nearly 50%, which is insane.
OP

Thanks! Hope you like the movie! It's been a real labor of love, and I put a lot of free time and elbow grease into it.
Happy to help. Just pre-ordered it through your site. Looking forward to watching it.
Thanks again for the help.
Whoa, wait, what? I completely missed this. Is it too late to buy a blu-ray? This looks fantastic!

OP
We did a crowdfunding campaign a while back, but we just started prepping pre-orders and Amazon stream wishlisting.
It'll be available on Tuesday, 2/11!
