Clean and organized layout of games. Some cool items you don't see in person too often and the occasional affordable game that's uncommon but not high demand. Some of the prices are a bit higher than what I usually see but if you want it bad enough, It's there vs online or stores that have too quick of a turn around of that game.

Fair Games has been my favorite local retro shop for over a decade now. The prices while a tad high are justified by the quality of support from them, it's also still far cheaper then similar online stores. Nice, knowledgeable staff and good selection.

First impression of this place was awesome!! They spent a few minutes tracking down their last copy of Skyrim(PS4) for me. I get home to download/play the disc only to get a notification that it's unreadable because there's a decent sized scratch on it(wish I had examined the disc before I bought it). I assumed it was good since they sold it to me and put it in an envelope and then into the Skyrim game case. I get to the store the next day and their policy says I can only get store credit, despite the broken game being sold to me that way, Oh and an employee also says there's a protocol where they test each game to make sure it works, I guess this one didn't get tested and I got the short end of the stick? Do better.

Staff was friendly and helpful. I hadn't been to the store since early 2020 and coming in today everything looks great! I got some original Game Boy games which will be the beginning of my Game Boy collection. I got the games home and they're all working in my new (to me) Game Boy. Nice promos going on, saved me a little money too! Thank you! I hope it's not another couple years before I'm there again!

Games can be from a couple bucks up to a thousand bucks all depending on the Rarity of the game. consoles are usually around a hundred bucks sometimes they do a lot of sales and they're a lot cheaper but if you call them asking for a package deal they definitely work with you on pricing.
