Terrible experience. I live about an hour away and wanted to sell some loose vintage Japanese…read morePokemon booster packs, so I called ahead to make sure my drive would be worth it. I explained to the person on the phone that I had some loose sealed Pokemon booster packs that I wanted to sell and asked if they were interested and if they buy them. They told me they would have to examine that packs in person (not an issue) in case of resealing/tampering but if the inspection went ok they would buy them. After this, I made the drive up since it seemed worth my time. Once I arrive with the packs, he tells me since they loose packs, and not in sealed boxes, that they weren't too interested (different response than the phone call) but that he would look up prices and give me an offer. Another employee showed up and immediately started saying that they automatically were to assume these 3 packs were weighed and possibly x-rayed. Keep in mind, Japanese packs cannot be weighed for "hits" as Japanese anti gambling laws make it so that every pack has to contain a hit, unlike vintage English packs where weight can give away holos/hits. So this place handles TCG's but apparently are not knowledgeable on the topic. Also, paying hundreds/thousands to x-ray 3 booster packs seems a bit ridiculous if I'm trying to sell them. As the initial guy I spoke to was looking up prices, I pulled out a slabbed PSA 4 charizard to ask if they would be interested in it as I was starting to feel my trip would be for nothing. The guy took the graded card and started shaking it constantly to show that the card was a bit loose inside the slab, it's a card from 1997 inside a slab that is over 15+ years of age so with time the card has come loose inside so it moves around a tiny bit, even though a simple wobble or slight back and fourth movement would have been enough. After this he walks to the back after telling me they would still give me an offer on the packs. Then the first guy asks me what I was looking to get for them and I mentioned that I know they have to make profit as well, so anything in the 70-80% market price range would be doable for me. He told me the most they could offer was 20% market value and that they didn't say this over the phone because they don't discuss numbers (understandable) but even a range/estimate on % would've been very reasonable as I've dealt with many shops before and never had an issue like this. He was also sure to mention that they don't discuss this over the phone so that they "dont waste their time." 20% market value for vintage packs was an absolute disrespectful offer to make me, and also a huge disrespect for a possible future customers time which they clearly don't value the same as their own time. This place felt more like a scummy pawn shop than a TCG/collectible store. I've sold, purchased and played TCGs in many shops before and this was by far the worst experience I've ever had in one. Would not recommend this place.

I highly recommend stopping into this place for three reasons…read more One, you need a serotonin boost Two, you're a tourist and want something very New York and actually unique to the city that you won't really find anywhere else Three, you're a collector or thinking about getting into retro video games Video Games New York has been around forever and I really hope it stays that way for a long time. It honestly feels like one of the last spots in the city where you can walk in and see this huge, slightly chaotic collection of games and consoles all in one place. The Nintendo 64 section is probably my favorite part. They have so many different variations it's kind of nostalgic overload in the best way. And they've also started adding video game soundtrack vinyls which is really dope and fits the vibe perfectly. The staff is also super cool and really knowledgeable without being overbearing. Just don't go in only to browse. Try to grab something if you can, even if it's just one of the anime themed sodas or a small piece of merch. Places like this really feel like they deserve the support so they can stick around.
