Ive used The Locker Room 78 for years and truely buy something from them at least once a week. Scott and Krista are very knowledgeable about all the items in the store and very easy to approach and ask questions. Everything is always keep organized and its easy to find what your looking for. Ive always recieved everything that I bought from them in the same condition as it was when I purchased it (and Ive purchased 1000s of items from them over several years). They are very honest people and I truly would not buy from anyone else. The Locker Room 78 is the best place to find all your sports card needs and wants. Try them you will be glad u did.

I've been going to Pastime Legends for years now. Their prices and trade-in values are fair, and…read morethey are much better to deal with compared to the chain game stores, let a lone the big box stores. Not to mention the others do not specialize in classic games and systems. Pastimes Legends really is a one stop game shop. I've also used them to have systems repaired in the past as well. No complaints with that service. I don't know that there is really anything else to say... the staff in knowledgeable and helpful. 5 stars. Anything video game related... new or old... Pastime Legends is the place to go.

The Bookmark, formerly of Newton Plaza (a theme of Newton Plaza stores is invading my brain right…read morenow from a recent trip, so anyone not from the area probably should just skip the reviews), used to be a second job for a teacher in our Shaker High, Ms. Skeals. She was an incredibly nice person, very engaging, and just all around a good teacher. She was younger than the average age I would say at our school so she taught sensibly with a much closer ear for teen tendencies, attitudes, she was just much more in tune. Anywho, occasionally I would drop by the Bookmark because it was the closest local bookstore to home if I had to purchase anything. We'd talk about movies and such, and the cover of the Bread and Tulips DVD, which that particular cover the actress reminded me a lot of Ms. Skeals, so we had what you call a laff riot over that one. It was a good film exercise/quiz before heading on to other things during the afternoon. The bookstore itself was nothing too fancy; they certainly could not cover as much ground as the huge Barnes and Noble on Wolf Road, but what could? they did not specialize in used books and comics like the Book Barn over on Delatour either, but this was an easy bookstore to navigate for the general selection of classic fiction as well as current non-fiction. And it was next to the Starbucks, the only one in the immediate area. So that was an easy one-two punch.

This place is what I think of when I think of comic shops. It's kind of small, packed to the gills,…read moreand there is a slightly awkward older guy behind the counter who knows his shit. There are not a lot of frills in the store, and it's not for collectible figures and random stuff like that. It's comics and a comics guy. Lots of new stuff. Butt tons of back issues. Of course, the problem with the store like this is space doesn't allow things to be displayed easily. Which is why you need The Comic Guy. (Note: The Comic Guy could be of any race or gender, obs, but does tend to be a quirky cis white dude.) He offered general, generic help when we walked in. And then when he saw Hubbo might be looking for something he checked in again. And then he knew what he had and where it was. Awesome.

I brought a group of people to the Albany area to check out this shop. We were greeted with…read morerudeness and hostility. I'm assuming it is/was the owner. He pointed his finger at us and with wild eyes, he told us the " we better not touch anything...If you break it, you'll buy it!" He also told us that we'd pay more than their value. My group was sad and disappointed. This was probably the rudest individual I've ever met. One must learn how to "conduct" one's self.

I'll preface my review: I have NO knowledge of model trains (not a hobby of mine), so take my…read moreopinions with a grain of salt. I've purchased a locomotive from this store before, along with the train set, and have been really happy. I'm having trouble with the set now, but that's because I'm no train buff and probably haven't kept up with it as well as I should (I only use it for a miniature Christmas village). Now, I'm ready to purchase a new set. I spoke with the owner, Vince, on the phone, as he's always friendly and helpful. He's very accommodating about meeting time and explaining some of the trains to me. It's nice to be able to trust someone if you don't know all about the hobby yourself. I'm planning on visiting Delaware Trains at the show in Albany tomorrow, where I'll be purchasing a new steam locomotive. I wouldn't go anywhere else for this hobby!

I came across Inspiration Co. at Crossgates Mall and was immediately drawn in by the positive…read moreenergy of the store. I loved the inspirational messages, charms, and bracelets, and ended up purchasing a bracelet for myself set for my sister and my friend brought one too.The sales associate, Jade, was wonderful. She was friendly, helpful, and made the shopping experience enjoyable. When the crystal charm on my bracelet fell off, she assisted me with getting a replacement without any issues. Unfortunately, the replacement crystal charm also fell off shortly afterward. While I absolutely love the meaning behind the bracelet and the inspiration it represents, I'm disappointed with the quality and durability of the charms. Having the charm fall off not once, but twice, was frustrating. The customer service was excellent thanks to Jade, but I hope the company improves the quality of its charm attachments because the products are beautiful and have so much meaning behind them. Rating suggestion: 3/5 stars -- great customer service and meaningful products, but the repeated charm issue affected the overall experience.
