It seems like Gamer's Den has reopened under a new name, "Sparkling City Local Game Store". We will be featuring certain games at a couple of tables and we will also have a selection of multiple games to choose from our "library".

I'd recommend Offerup.com, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist Corpus Christi for used items. If you can't find anything I would recommend Empire Furniture for decent prices on cheap furniture.
You could also check the Portland Texas website for garage sales. Here in Portland you have to get a permit to have a garage sale so they will all be listed on the community page.
