I live in Poco and it's a shame to have such a terrible retro video game store here…read more They have a great selection but this is the most overpriced retro store in the lower mainland. There prices are about 20% more than the highest eBay price. I would venture to say 30 to 40% more than press start in new west or game bit in mission. Honestly I wanted super Mario Allstars for my snes. This guy wanted $69 for it. I went to press start and it was $29. That's $40???? Over double the competition. Avoid this con man at all costs. Seriously there is like 10 retro game stores in the lower mainland. Take a drive, it will literally cost less in gas then to deal with this bozo. Or order the most expensive copy of what your looking for on eBay. You will still save money. I was in there yesterday, their games are also in shit condition. There snes and nes games. So not only are they ridiculously expensive, they are ridiculously expensive shit. :)

A gem of a place, with a super knowledgeable and friendly proprietor. He certainly knows his vintage punk, and had a few punk offerings of that ilk in the store. Heck, he knows Joey Shithead, as well as members of the Dishrags! Not really a store for new records as it is a used record shop, but everything is in great shape. While not a large place, they have plenty of selection in there. Definitely worth a regular stop if you are nearby, as they seem to actively search out new stock.

Go park in the FREE parking lot. If you walk up to the front doors and still think you have made a mistake as the doors are locked and you need to buzz in.... just walk down the few stairs and go in the lower door on the left. You're still nailing it. Good for you! Located in the basement mall, it's the coolest little place. Great vinyl selection, reasonable prices, and solid quality. The gentleman running the shop is the friendliest vinyl lover you will ever meet. He even hosts live music here!

According to Facebook they are having their grand opening tomorrow at 11:00am.

The guy working there should really UP his Customer Service Game. He should be more friendly and helpful and I'm sure he would get more sales. What I really didn't like was that the trading cards my husband looked through for close to an hour were all individually priced. When he was about to take them up to pay for them, he was informed that the prices on the cards were not the prices, and that he would have to "look them all up" Are you kidding me ? #1 If items are priced- that should be the price you pay. PERIOD #2 If this is your policy - have a sign or take the price tags off. This really pissed me off since there were literally hundreds of cards that had prices on them ! #3 Price the cards before they are put out on the floor & people look at them ! #4 Tell the person looking BEFORE they spend an hour wasting their time !! So, this guy was planning on raising prices as we were about to pay - I don't think that is fair business practices! My husband was planning on spending a few hundred dollars - but after this we left without buying anything. This place could be so much better if changes were put in place. Sadly we won't know if this will happen because we won't be coming back.

When HMV Canada folded Sunrise took over some of their locations , resurrected the stores and surprised everyone by being the only chain music store left standing .

I love going to these kind of shops as its like a treasure hunt as you search through the shelves looking for gold. I was finally able to pick up one of the Discworld novels that I've been hunting for in bookstores across the GVA. The owners are really friendly and helpful, able to answer amy questions you may have or help guide your search. There is some light music in the background that gave it a great atmosphere, especially with the rain pouring down outside, tip-tapping on the windows

There aren't really any interesting displays to highlight the stock, and the distinctly unwelcoming vibe I get doesn't encourage me to browse. The "coffee bar" is a laugh, and since they have it there, they don't let people bring in their Starbucks or whatever while they look around. They try to be "renaissance" by having music events and classes and suchlike, but they should probably just take a good hard look at their store and their selection and focus on being a good used bookstore.

Except for the records which are grouped together and near the door. Otherwise it is pure browsing. Some things are super old and yellowed with age. I guess this can also be an educational place to bring your kids to show them what the old televisions or stereos look like. I heard they may move soon due to rental increase and Steel and Oak brewery will take over the premises. So do pop by soon before a slice of history is gone.
