The staff member with glasses was especially helpful and kind, sharing that he's working on bringing in more cards and sealed products.

Calvin and Emmet were working, and they could not have been more welcoming. They invited me to sit at one of the tables so I could watch the game while sorting thru a bunch of boxes. I thanked them for not sweating people who are just trying to find some gold. One of the young men went and got me a cold water and we talked ball for a while as I continued to search. All in all it just feels like the old school shops when you could go in and look for what you like, instead of being pushed out of the way for people buying thousand dollar cards. One other thing I'd like to point out, is they will take a look at anything you feel like parting ways with. Saw a couple different people come in, and the staff gave them fair and honest pricing and advice, instead of belittling them or offering them well under comps. This place is also located in a cool part of downtown phoenix, so you can park for free near the park, walk to the shop, then check into some of the local eateries and bars!

This game store uses what is pretty much dynamic pricing, and my experience with their pricing for…read morea recent pre-release event was extremely disappointing. They charged $80 for a pre-release entry, despite the regular price apparently being significantly lower for their "loyal customers. The owner's explanation was essentially that regular customers received the normal price, while people who weren't regulars were charged a substantial markup. That is a pretty difficult policy to defend. If the goal was genuinely to prevent scalpers and make sure actual players had access to the event, there are much fairer ways to accomplish that. It's not like limiting the number of products/promos each person can receive. Is a new concept. Maybe it is for rekreations. Instead, the message being sent is that if you haven't spent enough money at this particular store, you deserve to pay considerably more to participate. And that's where I have a serious problem with this. There were still 20 open spots for the event. Considering how desirable the OP-17 promos and product currently are, it raises an obvious question: what happened to those remaining spots and the promos attached to them? Maybe this was simply poor decision-making or incompetence. Maybe the owner genuinely believed this was the best way to discourage scalpers ( some how). Or maybe the store wanted to protect its regular customers while still taking advantage of the demand surrounding OP-17 by keeping more of the promo cards that resell for 1000s online instead of going into the greedy hands of player of the game that just doesn't go to that store all that often. I don't know which one it is. What I do know is that $80 for a pre-release event, with different prices based on how much money you've previously spent at the store, does not feel fair or respectful to the players who make up this hobby. A card shop should be building a community, not creating a paywall between "regular" customers and everyone else. Regulars getting special deals is nothing new, but it's typically not at the cost of literally every other customer that walks through your door If your business model is essentially "spend enough money here and we'll treat you fairly," that's your choice. But customers also have the choice to spend their money somewhere that treats everyone fairly.

If you are a collector like I am, be aware that it is a place that you should probably go. But you should probably also make a budget.

Should have walked away, so no one but myself to blame, but don't fall for the friendly neighborhood store facade, it's cut-throat. No transparency on their offering whatsoever. They gave me basically a 32% offer on a lot of products easily worth 1000. Should have walked away, but I didn't, don't make my same mistake, sell it on E-bay, and buy what you are looking for on E-Bay, prices are better both ways.
