This is one of those shops that you love to go into because it has stuff everywhere, comics,…read moreSportscards, trading cards, toys and supplies. It's got so much stuff though that it's a little overwhelming. You could spend hours looking and not see everything. Staff was very friendly and attentive even the owner Ron was in there chatting with customers. Prices were good, I bought 3 1987 Topps baseball vending boxes (unsearched) for $5 each, that's a steal. Also picked up 4 pack of 55 point top loaders for $4.95 each. Will definitely be back when in town

I'm only writing this to hopefully help some of you people that do not know what you're doing when…read moreyou sell gold or silver or platinum or jewelry or Coins. Joe, who owns Ron's Coins if you know what you have not what you're seeing on a eBay price or what you're seeing in a book price but you actually know what you have. You can get Joe to give you a pretty good price as for the rest of the people that work for him, his son and his sister And the other people working there they will rip you off blind and make you think that you are getting a deal. Gold and silver are both going up with no signs of going back down. They are predicted to go much higher than they are and these are from people that know Not from just some John Doe that is making guest work out of the market. I just called needed to get rid of some of the stuff to buy sell Gold, etc. only as a private person not as a business so I called to unload some of my extra to try to get some cash during the holiday season. I believe it was Joe son brother is the one I spoke to they are offering 50% of the going rate of any given gold unless it is gold coins. They are giving two dollars under spot price which is what the going price is of any day for silver eagles which almost always go for over spot to any other reputable dealer. They are giving less than 50% of spot for sterling silver. In other words say sterling silver is going for $60 an ounce they're giving people $30 now. Remember that might sound like a lot of money to you but that's what it was going for before it started shooting up so in other words for your property they are making double they're doing the same thing for 10 1418 carat gold and if you have a resell jewelry item even if it has $100,000 diamond in it, they will give you 50% of spot price for the gold and keep the diamond. These are lying thieving users who have made their fortune and I do mean a fortune out of other peoples lack of knowledge. There are many places that buy precious metals and there are many places that actually give you fair prices some of them you have to wait a little while to get your money 24 to 48 hours others you might have to drive an hour or two to get to because Yakima is one of the closest places to hell I've ever been. So do yourself a favor if you have something to sell, do a little bit of homework and call around before you sell for anybody that's sitting at home trying to sell grandma Sterling silverware $30 an ounce might sound really great but to be honest with you $55 an ounce, which would be much fair price sounds much better. However, there is a little bit of leniency when it comes to silver, but not normally when it comes to gold if you're selling your gold say 14 carat 1 g for less than $70 a gram you're cheating yourself. Ron's is giving you 40 and they use a scale that's called a penny weight scale the reason they use that scale as it confuses people and are able to rip you off even more because people are not aware of exactly what a penny weight is. Buyer and or seller beware. Joe can be a very fair person, but he did not get to be one of the richest people in Yakima by doing that I have literally seen him give somebody dollars on things that are worth thousands. I've been in the store. I've watched it while it was happening, but I have had some good dealings with him also. So what he's doing isn't actually illegal just a very immoral in my opinion. As for his family members and his workers, they are simply thieves I talk to. I believe it was his sister, the big heavy fat woman to sell a 50 peso piece. They are gold from the 1940s they are over an ounce of gold back then Gold was about 1700 an ounce she offered me $450. Told me that that's all the Gold that was in there now you go ahead and make your choice. You can think I'm an angry person who simply trying to get more people to come to me, but I don't buy any more since Covid because Covid pretty much bankrupted me but I'm just telling you the truth because most people who are going into these places to sell aren't doing it because they want to they're doing it because they need some money to survive to keep their home with their lights on to put food on the table. Joe and his group of immoral Democrats the only reason I use the Democrats is it's the nicest way of calling somebody a very bad person to make a fortune on while the people that really need the money end up losing their home or their electricity or their kids end up going hungry. You can choose to believe me or just do a little bit of legwork yourself and you'll find out I'm not lying. Have a very blessed Christmas and a very prosperous new year. God bless you all.

We stumbled across vintage me when we saw sign for the café that sits in the back of this place…read more Wandering through, we found a lovely little antique store! The first thing I noticed about this place is that most of the items they have are in good shape and there was very little junk. There are plenty of antique stores where most of the items are just trash found in an attic that folks assume is valuable. Here, it looks like everything is brought in by different vendors and then priced - I love this aspect of capitalism! Incentivizing people to bring their best stuff and promoting competition. Items ranged from farmhouse type antiques, all the way down to a small children section. We found a cat in the hat Dr. Seuss dictionary that was pretty legit. They also had more recent options like beanie babies as well as some antique themed novelty shirts. What we didn't find anything that we absolutely needed at home, there were plenty of options and this is definitely the sort of place that I will probably run through when I'm downtown and have a couple extra minutes. Well worth checking out.

When Pokémon and Baseball cards became a thing again! This shop is located in the back of Northtown coffee just passed the main dining room on the left. They have a great selection of baseball, basketball and football cards. They've also got a big selection of Pokémon cards. They have single cards for sale, boxes of almost anything you can think of, wall art, as well as plenty of hard cases, protective sleeves, and storage boxes. The guys who work here are very knowledgeable about what they sell and aren't trying to upsell you on anything. If anything, they recommend the less expensive options if it means better stuff for you. It's a great place to go with your kids if they're starting to get interested in sports, and also a fun spot to stop by and just talk sports with other like-minded individuals. There's been more than one occasion that I found myself watching a baseball game for 15 or 20 minutes and here it just talking about in the season in general. It's a great trip down nostalgia road and a fun way to connect with other guys. Once a month, they host a card show in the main lobby. It has been and and continues to be a really fun event that my boys and I look forward to. They've also started doing Pokémon nights as well the focus on kids wanting to either learn the game and trade in a supervised environment. Its a fun evening and great for the kids! This is a wonderful addition to the community and a spot you should consider checking out!

Usually there are a ton of cute girl clothes but the boys clothes are just meh. Not here, there is a lot for both genders. I felt the pricing was pretty fair and they had a lot of name brand quality clothes to choose from in many different sizes. The clothing was all in good condition with no rips or stains. They have the clothes organized in a way that makes it easy to see everything easily. The racks are spaced appropriately and there is enough space to be able to move the items on the rack easily to see the item clearly. There was easy parking and the hours of business are great too. I will be back next time I am in the area.

We had just finished wine tasting near Yakima and we wanted to do some shopping before dinner. A pet peeve of mine is that many stores on the east side of the state are not open after the wineries close (at 5 or 6pm) and closed on Sunday. I really don't get this, everyone needs a day off and time for church, but I wonder if the stores would be more successful if Monday was their day off instead of Sunday when the tourists are in town. Anyways, I digress, Gretchen was just closing at 5 pm and we drove up and she stayed open for us. I found a gorgeous knit dress in two seconds and ended up buying a great sweater for work and fabulous scarf in addition. Gretchen was so nice and easy to talk to as I looked through her tastful clothing. She suggested some items for me to try (really cute) and we talked about brands that we love. If you are going to be in Yakima - do not miss this boutique! Also, please note that although the address above is correct, iphone did not take me directly to the store but had me turn onto 8th. Be patient and drive around the block until you find it - you won't regret it!
