Fun place to walk around. Good selection of used games for a number of systems, and the proprietor will usually buy games back for not too much less than his selling price. Pretty good selection of accessories, too. Helpful and friendly proprietor. Once, I asked him for an HDMI cable, and he was out of new ones, so he gave me an extra one he had for free. They also have turntables and some great vintage records. Highly recommended store.

They have a very good collection of games and consoles, but the prices and returns are outrageous!…read moreI bought a PS4 about a year back, so this console was no where near new, and it was 250 dollars used. Which isn't horrible, but the controllers were a whole different level of stupid. They were heavily used, had bad stick-drift, and they cost 50 dollars! I could buy a PS5 controller for around 65 dollars. Over the amount of time that i had the PS4 i bought 17 games for a total of a little over 150 dollars. so that brings the total up to 500 dollars! i went to return it recently and they gave me 120 dollars. for all of it and some other consoles such as 2 Xbox 360's and 7 controllers and games and a Wii with 3 controllers and about 20 games each. 120 dollars. I will likely never come back unless i am buying games.

I was from out-of-town and stopped by to check out this Mega Media Xchange location more out of…read morenostalgia than anything else. We didn't have a Mega Xchange in my area for years. Sadly, there's very little left to be desired. One fellow working there said there were no classic Doctor Who shows on blu-ray when there were at least ten or eleven sets available in this format in region 1. The guy obviously wasn't every knowledgeable. A bit rude on top of it. Worse, they willingly sold me a blu-ray that was a region 2 from the UK. I didn't know this until I put the disc into the machine to find it's not playable. Thanks, guys, for the worthless experience. Should rename themselves the Mega A-Hole Xchange.

Stopped by Mad City Music while visiting Wisconsin and really enjoyed browsing their collection…read more They have a solid variety of vinyl records, both vintage albums and newer pressings of old favorites, with prices that seemed very reasonable. One thing I particularly appreciated was the handwritten sticky notes on certain records. They include information about the pressing year, rarity, and other interesting details about the album. As someone who enjoys hunting for older pressings and unique labels, this is incredibly helpful and something I wish more record stores would do. It makes browsing feel a little more like treasure hunting! They also have two turntable listening stations, which is a great feature, especially when the store gets busy and you want to check out a record before purchasing. The store itself is on the smaller side compared to some other record shops I've visited. There's still plenty to look through, but don't expect endless rows of vinyl. What surprised me was their CD selection, which seemed just as extensive as their records. They also carry a smaller collection of cassette tapes, so there's a little something for everyone. Overall, Mad City Music is a great stop for music collectors. Reasonable prices, an interesting mix of older and newer releases, and those informative sticky notes really make the experience stand out. Definitely worth checking out if you're hunting for something unique in Madison!

Game Together MKE has the best selection of retro video games in Milwaukee, especially games in…read moretheir original boxes, but their prices are higher than similar stores in the Oshkosh/Appleton/Green Bay area and the offers they make for your items are not as good. During my most recent visit I felt insulted by what they offered in trade for six of my GBA games that Price Charting had valued at $154 (they offered $65 which is only 42% of the value). Just the day before, a store in Appleton offered me $50 in trade for the highest value game by itself (I didn't have the other five with me and only decided to trade all six while I was there). Needless to say, I left with my games and without the console I wanted to trade for, which was also priced higher than at the store in Appleton. The lack of other quality options in Milwaukee dictates that I can't completely rule out going to Game Together MKE again and that's probably why they price things the way they do. I wish there were other options in Milwaukee or that they treated their customers with more respect.

Games Universe in Mequon: Sellers Beware!…read more I went into Games Universe in Mequon to sell more than 1,000 Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering cards. I was told the cards would be scanned individually and priced at 50% of TCGplayer. That sounded reasonable. Before going in, I personally scanned every card using CollX to get an idea of the collection's market value. CollX estimated the collection at more than $500, so based on Games Universe's stated 50% buying rate, I expected an offer somewhere around $240-$250. After approximately 24 hours, they called and offered me $64. That works out to roughly 6 cents per card. These were not worthless cards. The collection consisted primarily of vintage commons and mostly unplayed cards that had been in my possession for more than 20 years. There were dozens of cards in the $1-$3 range and nine copies of Seething Song that they themselves valued at approximately $11 each, and a Pokémon Blaziken V that I had valued at around $28. When I went into the store to discuss the offer, Conor explained their system in a condescending manner. I started by asking about the nine Seething Songs. He confirmed they valued them at $11 each--$99 worth of cards. At 50%, those nine cards alone should have represented roughly a $50 offer. According to their $64 total offer, that would leave only $14 for the other 1,063 cards. That was when I knew something was seriously wrong and the experience felt extraordinarily deceptive and predatory. If a store tells customers their cards will be individually evaluated and purchased at 50% of market value, an offer that amounts to roughly 6 cents per card raises serious questions. I have been buying, selling and playing Magic for approximately 30 years. I explained that I was the sole owner of these cards and that they had been in my possession for more than two decades. Conor's response was that none of that mattered to him and that he didn't need to "hear my credentials." It didn't need to become confrontational. It could have simply been a conversation about the cards and the offer. Instead, Conor's increasingly aggressive and condescending tone became particularly troubling as it became clear that I was not going to accept what I felt was an attempt to take advantage of the uneven leverage they apparently believed they had over me. Once I decided to take my cards back, and therefore take the potential profit from those cards away from the store, the entire transaction went sour and the interaction became increasingly unprofessional. Conor became agitated and verbally aggressive, making comments I won't repeat here. I took my cards and left. When I got home, I scanned the collection myself using the TCGplayer app. The results were eye-opening: 1,011 Magic cards: $401.26 61 Pokémon cards: $49.83 Total TCGplayer value: $451.09 Games Universe offered me $64. By their own stated 50% buying guidelines, that collection should have generated an offer of approximately $225.54. Instead, they offered me $64--roughly 28% of what their own buying policy would suggest and only 14% of the total TCGplayer value. The numbers don't lie. I walked in expecting a legitimate card-selling experience based on the terms they gave me. I walked out with my cards because I no longer trusted the process. Maybe there is an explanation for their $64 valuation. If so, it should have been transparent and obvious from the beginning. What I experienced was a massive disconnect between the buying process they described and the offer they actually made. If you are considering selling cards at Games Universe, do your homework first. Know your cards' value, get multiple offers, and don't blindly trust a stated percentage of market value. I will never step foot in that store again. I gave Games Universe an opportunity to conduct an honest and professional transaction, and in my experience, they destroyed whatever trust could have existed. For me, that's the end of the story and the end of my business with Games Universe.
