I loved this store…read more Walking in, at the urging of my wife, I was thinking that I would spend a few minutes and then move on with my day. I definitely wasn't going to be purchasing anything. Wow, was I wrong. The store is loaded with toys, games, puzzles, activities and fidgets. I saw so many things that I didn't know existed in the realm of toys. Quite a few items tempted me, not just for my personal kids, but also for those in my classroom. I looked a few items up online while I was there and saw that the prices were comparable to online retailers. I decided not to wait. Why not get them at Shaninigans and support local. Overall, Shananigans felt like an experience I didn't know I needed. Definitely will be back to stock up for the holidays.

Wow, I used to love this store. The old owners were amazing! They were so helpful and kind and…read morewelcoming. Plus, I can walk here from work. I have enjoyed getting gifts for my daughter and all of the little kids in my life. However, I came in yesterday looking for a Balance bike for my daughter for her second birthday. I found one, they only had one left, and I bought it. Unfortunately, when I got it home although the box said that the seat was adjustable, it was only adjustable forward and backwards, not up and down.Which is a bit odd considering it says it's for 18 month to four-year-old children. My daughter was too tall for the bike. I brought it back today because there was no way she could use it. The girl who sold it to me yesterday said no problem and then she got another woman to come help me. I assume this is the store owner(a middle-age woman behind the counter). She was incredibly rude. She told me that she's gonna have to eat the cost as a small business and rolled her eyes, and then said that it's not actually returnable, but that she would give me a refund. Ok? You're mad at me? For doing business with you? Because something had what seems like false advertising on the box? It wasn't broken, but it did not adjust. I'm not sure how a four-year-old would be able to use that bike (The age was 18 months to four years old with an adjustable seat). Considering that seat doesn't adjust up and down makes it a bit odd to advertise such a large age gap. I left the store thinking that she was clearly mad at me and upset that I had returned the bike.That attitude at a children's store is just not the way to do business. As a business owner, sometimes that's just the cost of doing business. Sometimes you have to do the right thing regardless of whether or not that is in your financial best interest. I don't think I'll be back to shop here anymore. Which is too bad because I love supporting local businesses here in Baltimore.

Just about everything except D&D figures--no big whoop!…read more So(!), was in the area the other day. Someone told me about this place years ago, never bothered till now. Managed to get there on a good day, easy parking. it's a small shopping center, y'know? Walking in, it literally was wall-to-wall vintage collectibles. Many still in their packages. Walking through it all brought a sense of nostalgia, but at the same time I felt a dull pain--in my wallet. Whatever your focus is, collecting can be expensive and time consuming. Star Wars, Barbie, He-Man, Star Trek (to a lesser extent)...DC/Marvel superheroes. Collectible toy cars (Hot wheels, etc.). There's a lot to look at. Some in their own package, some bagged specifically for the store. 85% of what's there are action figures and such. The rest is a mix of collectible comics, toy cars, and other odd bits. I'd say the prices are reasonable, though a handful of the limited edition collectibles (such as a Sideshow figure of Ghost Rider on his flaming bike) had prices which gave heart palpitations. Era-wise, I'd say the vast majority of toys there are mid-70's on. So there are toys related to "The Six Million Dollar Man", as an example. There were some older 50's era pieces as well. And, like i said, some comics. If I had more time to look I would've stayed longer, but time's the one thing I didn't have. Speaking of which, they were out of the one thing I was looking for. Not a problem, though. If it's not there I won't be tempted to buy it. One more thing: They opened up a 'dollar store' version of the shop a few doors down. It has what you'd expect to find there.

Honestly, it just feels like a better way to do it than sitting in your basement, unless that's your sort of thing. There's also a huge gaming area. I didn't go in there, but I think that's the kind of amenity that is essential for a store like this. Snacks, food, games, dice, puzzles.

You'll want to burst into tears of joy when you set foot into the store. I was under the impression that it was difficult to own/run a game store, or thats what the owners of those little shops would have me believe. But this place had loads of customers, and a bunch of other regulars in a side room used for gathering for in person play. Jeremy got his wish. A group of our friends are planning on getting together at least one Friday a month to play the Wheel of Time RPG. And he suckered me into joining. So he insisted that I pick out my own dice, rolling tray (the non-herbal kind), and a bag to hold the dice. He got some stickers and other stuff, too, cuz he's just so very into embracing the tabletop rpg gamer lifestyle. We joined the rewards program, so we'll obviously be back.

My kids were pleasantly surprised by all of the options and had fun exploring both floors of this establishment. The prices were on the higher end in comparison to Amazon but who wants to wait for the mail when you can just go home with what you want? :-) There appeared to be only one person manning the place at the time but he was friendly. It wasn't busy at all. I heard it's only been open a year or so and I can see the growth potential if we keep spreading the word about this hidden gem. I'm excited to bring others back to find their new squishy friend.

Scammy Practices, systems and behaviors SELLERS BEWARE…read more On first glance this is a simple, little retro game store with charm and all the vibes you want from a place like this. So I go there for the first time with the intentions of doing business. I call ahead tell them I have a small retro game collection I found in my storage unit and I'd like to sell it if they are interested. I drove over and bring the games in. I will show pictures of this collection. Including a working ps3 slim and about 30 games across various platforms (ps3, ps2, GameCube, Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox one). At 2 pm The clerk there told me she was the only one there and they had an event at 6 and need time to look through everything and can I come back later and leave the games here. No one in the store at the moment however... Ok sure. I ask if they will give me a receipt or voucher or something stating they have my collection and haven't paid for them yet. They tell me they are making an office waiver but don't have it yet..... ok so wtf. I'm supposed to just trust you people. But like I said it looked like a nice lil mom and pop store. I've run my own small business for a decade so I trusted they were above board and not going anywhere and I had already documented all the games so why not. Let's trust them to be professionals. She tells me I can come back tonight and she will call me when they are ready. 9pm close rolls around and no call yet... I wait the night and call at 1pm the next day. Same story. They aren't done yet. I say I'll call back later. They say nah we will call you. Literally. I wait till 8 pm again and now they call. They tell me the offer is $44 in cash or $60 in store. I say. WTF I estimated the value conservatively and with them Turing a profit in mind and had the whole collection at about $450. I'm a business owner and not new to commission businesses or wholesalers or buy and sell places. I do it myself. I know the basic ranges of things and market value. So I say f it. They are joking imma go get my games back since they aren't serious and have now wasted 2 days of my time I coulda took them somewhere else. Or EBay. I drive back now for the 2nd time. The lady there is the same and says oh here's your games, what do I wanna do. I decline the offer and ask why is so low. She says she doesn't know she didn't check them. Highly annoyed I just take the box and go. I get home and the next morning I go to list the games myself on eBay. I notice the highest priced game in the collection is missing.... Folklore for PS3. Easily valued at $80-$120 And these ppl wanted to give me $40 for the whole thing.... SCAM I double check to make sure the game hadn't fallen out in my trunk and that I'm not jumping to conclusions. I'm not. I go back to the store. Now my 3rd useless time wasting trip there. I finally meet the guy who did my product evaluation. I go in and immediately ask where my f'n game is and what are they playing at. I got a bs offer after you waste my time and now yall stealing my best game too. Dude says "oh the case was dirty and I was gonna clean it and forgot to put it back with the rest, I forgot to tell the last girl to give it back to you too, my bad"....... wtf. Sureeeeeee ok. Give me my stuff. I got it back and then asked him how he got to that nonsense offer and was told that's just how the system they use ranked the priced for each game. They didn't even really do any research themselves. SMH So I take my stuff home and in the first 5 min of listing the items on eBay I sell two (manhunt and RE4 GameCube) for more ($55) then the entire offer these rip off artist tried to give me. Don't sell anything to these ppl. Just go play D&D and leave. They didn't know this but I'm actually an influencer (600k YouTube , 400k ig, 300k Snapchat, etc) and I shoulda flamed them on line but I'll spare them this time. Check out the pic of the collection and let me know if you think $40 was a fair offer. I think not and very bad business on their end. Not professional at all. Way more worried about they table top nights then any actual customers or potential clients I guess. Oh well. I won't be going back.
