Buying gaming in St Louis
St Louis sits below the confluence of the two great rivers with an arch on the waterfront that is the tallest monument in the country. It has a substantial brewing and manufacturing history, several universities and a great deal of brick housing stock.
Consoles and games are compact, high value for their size and easy to test, which makes them one of the safest things to buy face to face. The buyer wants to see it turn on and load something, and that takes a couple of minutes.
What to check in person
Check the storage and see how much is genuinely free, and confirm any download codes were never redeemed, since a used code is worth nothing. On cartridge machines, inspect the contacts and the label, which is where counterfeits give themselves up.
Collecting it in St Louis

Driving is assumed and the city is spread out. Older brick housing has narrow stairwells, so measure the turn rather than the doorway for anything large.
