I offered them 70% which I deem fair, as Ive gone to plenty of card shows and 70 is the lowest most vendors go, They offered me 45%. I should of ran, but I am currently not proud to admit I am desperate for the money. We settled at 52%, and they claimed all these reasons why they couldn't give me 70%, such as condition, shipping, labor etc. Long story short I'm writing this review because they took my ETBS and listed them ABOVE market, when they claimed they couldn't offer me 70% because of "condition," and they would have to list them BELOW market, they are scammers. I knew I should have ran, but again, I needed the money and didn't think. Go anywhere else you can in KC that's collector friendly.

I felt I was ripped off. I had a selection of books (18 with 12 of them hardback relatively NEW…read moreREALEASES) that I have read and wanted to clear my shelf. I thought what a wonderful idea of selling back my books. My goal was to get a few books for an exchange. I received $10.56. I certainly understand the business aspect of sales, but this is ridiculous. I wanted to get another book that was $ 15.49 and asked if I could at least "call it even" and was told I could only have my credit applied... I will never go back and donate all future books elsewhere or throw them away. Not worth the gas to go there. By the way I do not need money... PRINCIPAL. you all should go out of business.

Odds are if you're looking at going to Game Stop, you already know what you expect out o the…read moreexperience. I am here to tell you that this location delivers. Want video games? They have them. They have a good stock and have never been out of anything when I've been in. (Granted, I am SO not one of those "wait outside the door the night before a big name game is released" type of guys.) Want to sell video games? They'll take them. Sure you don't get much FOR them, but that's typical. The staff is nerdy, but not aggressively so. In fact, non-aggressive is a good way to explain them altogether. They mention and inform me of all the special deals, but they don't harass me about them like other stores have. They don't try and get me to pre-order every single thing that's coming out. They keep me in the loop as to what is coming up but there are no hard sells. I appreciate that. Additionally, they are always handy with their opinions of which games are worth it and which aren't. So what's negative? Parking. I usually NEVER ding a review on parking, as I hate how car dependent we are here in KC. But it's just bad news here. Right off Westport Rd and Southwest Trafficway and sharing a strip with two incredibly popular restaurants, you can forget about street parking anywhere nearby and the tiny lot is always full. I generally park at Blockbuster across the street. Hopefully they never notice and tow me away. But regardless, the parking woes are not enough to dissuade me from choosing this Game Stop when I want to get my nerd on.

Vintage Stock should really be named Nerd's Paradise. Cause seriously, this place is awesome…read more They sell everything from authentic replicas of game items (think: Sora's Keyblade, Link's double-edged sword, even the DRAGONBALLS from DragonBall Z), old school records, posters, CDs, DVDs/Blu-Rays, and anything remotely related to gaming. Availability of different things vary widely by store, of course, but I've seen Sega Dreamcasts, GameBoy Colors, the original Pokemon Blue/Green/Red/Yellows, and just about anything else vintage that has gone back into the vault. These stores really are your opportunity to pick up timeless classics for just about anything that satisfies your inner nerd. The best part, though? They'll gladly buy any old video game, comic book, DVD, CD, action figures, etc. from you. Yes, they flip it around in their store and yes, they only give you 20% of what THEY value the item as, but it certainly beats dumping it in a box and sending it off to Goodwill since you can get some value back out of it (note: not saying that donating to Goodwill is a bad thing, cause it isn't). I took around 40 old Blu-Rays into one of their stores a few weeks ago and walked away with $60 in cash. Not bad. You also have the option to get store credit instead for an extra 20-25% in value (I forget the exact figure). Pretty sweet business model for both parties, if you ask me. Really, the only downside I've seen here are the pricing of their items. It's a bit scattered at times. They have some good deals tucked away in there, sure, but a lot of things that are currently being sold in stores will sell for a similar prices elsewhere. For example, Blu-Rays. Their pricing for newly-released Blu-Rays--even if the item IS used--will be similar to what you can get off Amazon or at Best Buy. But some may be lower, some may be higher, it just seems to be the luck of the draw for which titles get discounted/marked up. Pricing on vintage items are quite subjective, though, as some may think $30 for the old Pokemon Red is a steal while some may scoff at the price. TL;DR: If you're looking for a specific gaming/electronics piece that's a timeless classic and/or not on the retail shelves anymore, Vintage Stock is THE spot. You may have to hit up multiple locations, but chances are, they'll have what you're looking for. Additionally, if you're looking to get some salvage value out of old collectibles or electronics you have laying around, they'll gladly buy it off you for cash as well. Happy shopping, nerds!

Like the Shawnee location, they treat your stuff like it's trash and they treat their stuff like…read moreit's gold bricks, a lot of the staff are rude. Some of them are nice and polite however they are notorious for lowballing you when you are selling to them, I had waited for 30 minutes to form an account with this guy who took his sweet time getting me an account that I didn't even want that I had to have in order to sell what I wanted to sell, and the guy offered me $2 for 400 Pokémon cards which I thought was insulting, the guy was nice and all, however he acted like my collection wasn't worth five cents alone five dollars, I walked in there, hoping to sell them for five bucks and I started high at 15 and was fully expecting him to give me an offer for five and he gave me a two dollar offer so I just bought a couple volumes of anime, declined his offer and left, that was at the Shawnee location, and at this location, I had tried to sell a massive tub of anime because I had Crunchyroll at the time and I didn't feel like I needed them anymore, and I had spent years working hard at my workplace accumulating all of this anime over several paychecks and spent tens and thousands of dollars of my what little I had left of my paycheck on anime, and the guy (this is at the Metcalf location it's a different guy) casually dismissed me with a $100 offer and a look that told me to Pi$$ off as if he was above it all, some of the workers at both of these locations are very nice, but both locations have employees who act like their above everyone else and that their job is beneath them, as if I'm wasting their time, I have been a regular vintage stock for years, and I have never been treated like this before until I moved here from Kentucky, and I'm not exaggerating or being to dramatic , I don't feel like a valued customer vintage stock anymore, some of the employees make you feel welcomed while the other half of them make you feel like you don't belong there, this should be a safe place for nerds from several different communities to come together and buy sell and trade items without feeling like you're not welcome there.

Now before I even get started with this, let me make it clear that I'm not a bona fide gamer. I…read moredon't spend my hours glued in front of a big screen television playing all of the latest games. What I am is an old school video game lover. Once upon a time I was the owner of a PlayStation one and over the years It got misplaced. I've been telling myself for a while to try to find a way to get another one but with new games and consoles being introduced all the time, I feared that I would never be able to find an original classic. When I googled play station one in search of trying to find places that sold them I was led to this place. I looked at the reviews and they seem to be a spot that a lot of people approved so I decided I'd give them a call. When I called them and told them that I was looking for an original PlayStation one, I was immediately surprised that they had it. Not only did they have it, the price that they were selling it for was extremely affordable especially in these days and times. But before I could commit to buying it I had one more question for them. The number one game that I love to play on the PlayStation one was Tekken 3, and when I asked them if they had that, they stated that they did. At that point I was sold and I came in the next day and purchased my PlayStation one and my game Tekken three. After receiving the game. I immediately came home and hooked it up and I noticed a problem right away when it took me five attempts to get the game to come on before it would. When I seen that it came on I was willing to forgive the five tries, until I turned off the game and went about my business and came back hours later to play again only to find that the Console would not come on at all. I decided that I was going to take the console back and demand either a replacement or a refund. When I arrived they were so friendly and helpful. They immediately discovered that the problem was the power cord to the game. They quickly issued me a new power cord and assured me that if there were any more problems they would be more than happy to fix it at no extra charge. I brought the cord home hooked it up and I have been in tekken land ever since. Now that I've talked about my experience I will talk about the layout of the store. They do have a lot of retro games. They do have Nintendo, the wii and all of the other games, but what I saw that I haven't ever seen before was they have a gaming room. Set up with gaming chairs, different sizes of TVs and they said they virtually have any game that you were interested in playing. You can pay a price to play for an hour, or half a day or all day. You can pay for snacks while you play games. Unfortunately they won't let you in the room unless you're going to play games in there but I did get a sneak peek as a kid came out to switch out games. This has become a popular hang out in the Topeka area and now I know why. I literally saw parents bringing their kids to this place and coming back to pick them up later. Maybe one day just out of curiosity I may go and play a game for an hour just to see what it's like. They also state that you can throw gaming parties. So if you are into classic games like me or you are a bona fide gamer this is definitely a place you want to check out
