Buying gaming in Richmond
Richmond is the state capital, on the fall line of the river, with a great deal of preserved historic architecture and a long tobacco manufacturing past. It has a large urban university and a strong contemporary arts scene.
Regional coding still catches people out, and a disc or cartridge from the wrong territory may simply refuse to run. Trying the exact combination in front of you removes a problem that is tedious to unpick afterwards.
What to check in person
Ask for it to be set up and running before you arrive, then load a game yourself rather than watching a menu. Listen to the disc drive, check every controller port and make sure the console has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
Collecting it in Richmond
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The older neighbourhoods have narrow streets and row housing with limited parking, so confirm where a vehicle can stop. The river divides the city, so agree which side.
