I'm sure the owner pays for fake reviews. I went there for the first time and they told me they'd only offer 40-50% of market value, even with store credit, they would only offer 50% of market value max. The worker said "We have to pay our employees". I counted 9 employees (just standing around). Why do they need 9 employees here, is it a joke? They are scamming customers in order to pay unnecessary employees.

Not sure what it is about the employees at this location, but NOBODY ever greets me or acknowledges my presence whenever I come in. Nobody ever asks if I need help or asks what I’m looking for. There’s always like 6 to 9 employees standing around, too. I normally have to look around for 10-15 minutes, not find what I’m looking for, and then walk up to the counter and ask the person at the counter for help. And it’s funny because THAT PERSON who does end up helping me turns out to be super helpful and super friendly. In a time where people can easily download their comics online or order everything from amazon you’d think an old school comic book store would be appreciative to their customers that are supporting them and keeping them in business. I’d advise management to take a better approach to customer service and try to make customers feel welcomed and taken care of. If I wanted a “self service” experience I’d just download and order everything online.

Sherri Whelan | Sep 3, 2019
Matthew Box | Sep 3, 2019

Yes they do but they will decide if they want your cards so dont go in with a box full expecting them to just take them off your hands. And bear in mind they are resellers so they will give you below the cards value so they can sell it on.

i Have a box full of yugioh cards will they buy those and would it be cash or store credit?

irian lara | Sep 2, 2020
Kyle Perry | Sep 2, 2020

They will probably offer you two prices, one quote in credit one quote in cash. You're not going to get online market value for every card because they have to resell them and make it profitable/worthwhile on their end. People who feel lowballed end up selling their singles online like Amazon, eBay, or tcgplayer. It'll take you longer to list sell and ship so that quote that may seem low at first is actually better if you're not a professional card reseller. Speaking from experience.
