"I got the call from the manager on duty and said, 'Your barn's on fire,'" Dave's Retro Video Games owner David Smith said. "I said, 'Yeah, right.' It was on fire."
"We had 33 years here and 10 years at Denio's. Started out running around on a bicycle, picking up games around the neighborhood," Smith explained. "It just grew and grew. I love to buy. I hate to sell because I'm a hoarder, but I'm a good hoarder."
"Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii, everything," he said. "This place was packed, and it was as far as you can reach, as I could reach inside the store. That's how high they were piled."
"Although I'm not here right now, I think I'm going to have a presence in the future," he said. "Get some tables, and maybe not this large, but at the same time, only the future will tell. I have no idea right now. I'm just kind of absorbing what's going on here. It's a lot to handle."
Despite all odds, he's keeping a smile on his face, cracking some jokes and trying to look ahead.
Cal Expo is sponsoring a table for Smith over Halloween weekend so he can have the chance to sell the remaining items he was able to recover.
