Deceptive charging practices. Went in to browse last week…read moreand found a couple things in a bin labeled 3/$5. I know some places add an extra charge for using credit card with low purchases, and i hadnt been sure i was going to buy something. I asked if there would be a charge and he said "just tax" and i didnt ask further. Looked at my checking account later that week and I had been charged $10.95. Again, the bin these were in was labeled $5 for three small items (or $2 each) I mean this could be partially my fault for not asking specifics but i was running late for something else. Anyways the guy in there seemed nice but now i feel like his small talk was just there to distract me from asking more about the price. So yeah. Check your bank account after they charge you because they might straight up charge you double without telling you.

Cashier spent way too long mansplaining the difference between japanese and american card sleeves to her... which is funny because my girlfriend works full time at a nearby shop selling cards. Then he made a joke about her unusual name and insinuated she stole the one full art card she had brought in to trade. She said it made her feel very awkward and out of place just because she's a woman... We've been several times before with no issues but it was a really disappointing and weird trip this time.

Me and my friend have been coming to this store to buy and sell Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, but…read moreour experience has been bad enough that we'll never come back. We brought in high-value Pokémon cards -- including a $300 Mewtwo from the new Destined Rivals set -- and were told it was only worth a fraction of the value because of a nearly invisible scratch. We were offered just $400 total for a group of cards worth around $800. We also brought in Yu-Gi-Oh! cards worth over $130, including an $80 card, and were offered only $17 for all of them. The staff claimed they use TCGPlayer to check prices, but when we used the same app ourselves, their offers didn't come close to market value. We even bought a $200 Japanese booster box, and later found out it sells for around $80 online -- and it didn't come sealed in the official plastic. We pulled nothing from it, not even a single holo or full art, which was suspicious. The customer service is extremely unprofessional. We've been ignored while trying to ask questions, and in one case, an employee responded to me with a slur when I asked a simple question about what the store sold. I'm a minor, and that interaction stuck with me -- it was disrespectful and unnecessary. Some of the employees are also rude or sarcastic when responding to customers, especially if you challenge the price they offer you. The only person who's ever been respectful to us was a tall, light-skinned guy with an afro. He actually said "thank you" and treated us like we mattered. Everyone else made us feel like a joke. This place lowballs on purpose and doesn't treat young customers with any respect. If you care about your cards and want fair treatment, I'd suggest going anywhere else.

On the tchotchkes front, I'd rather go to Cost Plus World Market. If I were Michaels, I'd double down on arts and crafts. That's what drew me here in the first place. Instead, I left with a cheap decorative pumpkin I don't need and some candy corn. And a plan never to return. The cashier was nice and very much alive. This was going to be a three-star review, but then I saw their lead image, which is currently that beyond awful Halloween display. Who put that up? And what kind of idiot would choose to highlight photos of that? Some people are stupid and tasteless.

To begin with, I'm not a Lego person. I can appreciate it, but it's not my thing. My husband,…read morehowever, is. We don't have kids, but in the de Taylor household, I have to watch where I step, because there may be a Lego underfoot. Accordingly, my husband asked if we could stop by Brick Loot on the way home from Beyond the Cheddar Curtain, and I'm a team player. It's a pretty adorable store. The owner's dad** said that he has three main things that the store does. First, there's a monthly loot box for subscribers. Secondly, they sell lighting kits for legos. Finally, they sell legos themselves. It's not a huge shop, so it's not an alternative for going to the lego store. However, they have a lot of clever kits that I think the owner or the owner's dad put together, as well as the light kits and various spare parts. It's definitely a neat place to go for a lego enthusiast. The only thing I'd suggest is getting a "partner's chair" for when a partner comes along for the ride. However, I imagine that would also inspire inattentive parents to sit down and let their kids run wild, so perhaps that's not a good idea after all! ** The owner's dad was very clear that his 12 year old son was the owner and brain behind the operation, which I find pretty adorable too.

I have been into metals long before most of you who are buying gold bars in Costco these days. I bought and sold, from and to brick and mortar stores. Costa's is fine, perfectly fine. Hopefully will do more business in the future. And if you think dealing with online folks like Apmex or JM or Provident better in terms of prices, good luck. Buying won't be cheaper unless you buy large quantities. Then trying to sell to them, whole different matter and pain in terms of logistics and prices too. Price per ounce my ass. Any dealer has to have a larger spread then simple bid and ask for spot price.
