My first time here was for one of their events they hosted (2025 Summer Game Show) where you could…read moresell/trade/buy games and collectibles from different vendors. It's a large, spacious shop so it was no trouble hosting the large amount of people that they had throughout that day. I was there for half the day and it felt quite warm inside until the end of the event, so bring a portable fan if you overheat easily. Staff were regularly checking up on customers who were browsing their products and very open to assisting if needed. Selling is a quick process if you know what you want and there's not a long que of others waiting to sell. Business is business, make sure you have a price in mind and they may try to work with it.

I ordered one of their pre-made, fully upgraded Frankenstein PS3s and they had it built and ready to ship even earlier than estimated! They are also very knowledgeable, helpful, and fast to get back to you if you have any questions. Don't do what I did initially and waste time and money with a lesser known eBay seller for PS3 mods. Go with this tried-and-trusted business and get it right the first time!

I felt like I was nerding out in the store. Definitely a nice place if you're browsing and want to…read morejust look around. There were a lot of used clothes and vintage toys (opened and unopened) they had a room full of records It felt like a thrift store of just random things. The shop was definitely bigger than I thought it was. Each room just had so many random items. I was definitely overstimulated. Would be hard to find an exact item. There was a little bit of an organization of what was in each room but some shelves just felt like there was a lot of random items just thrown on it Staff seemed friendly. Would check out again especially if I had time to kill

This is the 3rd location The Cave has (other in Folsom and the other in Sacramento.) I have been a…read morecustomer for years and have to warn everyone that this location IS NOT a good place to sell. I came here to sell a cigarette neon light, 2 beer bar lights, 1 framed Star Wars poster, 2 bar mirror signs & several movies: they offered me $88 cash or $115 store credit. That offer is about 10% of what they will sell them for not to mention I had to wait over 3 hours to get this offer. Another thing I noticed is this location is very picky & somewhat snobbish so beware. I know the business is there to make money but there is a difference between making a fair offer vs low balling. Unlike the Sacramento location on Arden the staff here isn't as helpful. The quality of the items here are good but it comes with a hefty price tag. The store is located in a plaza so you can window shop while you wait for the staff to go through your items once you're done browsing @ The Cave. I am being very nice by giving this place a three star rating. For appearance & selection it gets 5 stars but everything else really brought down the ratings for me. If the staff actually helped me by answering questions I had in regards to what they buy instead of them giving a default response of: just bring it in... I would have given a 4 star rating instead.

I had a very uncomfortable and disappointing experience at this store today…read more I saw two Xbox games priced the same -- one with a clean case but no disc inside, and another with a disc but a damaged case. Since there was no sign indicating that discs are kept behind the counter, l reasonably assumed the disc was missing and placed it into the better case. Instead of calmly explaining their policy, the employee immediately responded in an aggressive and disrespectful way, telling me to "put that shit back." Only afterward did he explain that the discs are kept at the counter - something that should have been clearly communicated to customers in the first place. A simple explanation would have avoided the entire situation. Being spoken to like that was unnecessary, unprofessional, and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. What made this even more upsetting was reading another customer's review describing how staff openly discussed taking advantage of a child who unknowingly brought in a rare Galaxy 3DS XL and traded it for a regular 3DS -- which is far less valuable. Instead of informing the child of what he had, they reportedly took advantage of the situation and even bragged about it afterward.Seeing behavior like that toward a kid is honestly disturbing and unethical. After experiencing the rude treatment myself, it's hard to believe this was an isolated incident. On top of all of this, many of the games and consoles here are significantly overpriced compared to other stores. This is especially concerning for beginners or casual gamers who may not yet know typical market values. Between the aggressive customer service, lack of clear communication, unethical behavior, and high prices, this is not a store I would return to or recommend. （l've attached a screenshot of that review for reference.）

Today is the 2nd time I have been here & the employees who helped me are very professional, helpful, and courteous. If you were selling anything here they are meticulous however they do pay more than other places. Example: I sold some fighting PS2 games here and was paid about $5 each game where as places like The Cave would have paid $1. This place is a gamer's paradise plus holy Grail for the hard to find game(s) *see picture of a PS2 game in my review. I definitely would recommend all gamers or just anybody shopping or selling to try this place first before going anywhere else especially places like GameStop.

I think it just depends whos working on what day. I went in the other day, spoke to a nice girl who…read morewas very informative. They have a great collection of vintage cards all the way to modern pokemon cards. They also have a gameroom for people to play and also magic the gathering booster packs. Almost feels like a homage to the 90's and present. The decor is really nice, very sleek. Very enjoyable time. Im unsure about pricing, but anything vintage pokemon will be expensive and then of course they sell graded cards that can reach upwards $1,000. Like I say, it just depends who you talk to on what day. There were some days were the associates seemed like they didn't know what they were doing and other days you'll get associates who know alot about Pokemon etc. Would reccomend visiting and spending your money!

Store: Decent selections. Love the dollar bins, but you gotta really pick through them. The quality…read moreof the dollar bins at all three A-1 locations was not the best. We had better $1 bin experiences at other stores. Most of the comics have no sleeves and are quite dingy. I got a rash (spider mite?) from going through them. So like I said, kinda dingy. Definitely recommend bringing gloves. Service: The first guy and the manager seemed nice. We chatted for a bit. At checkout, we spent over $250 combined across two transactions and paid in cash. The younger cashier nickel-and-dimed me, charging $6+ for a few dollar-bin finds and $1 for a $.50 find due to old price tags, even though I told him I found them all in the dollar bins. I'm pretty annoyed that he gave my partner a discount because he was tired of counting too many dollar bills for him (he had an attitude and was pretty frustrated while counting), but then charged me extra. Review Summary: will return to search for treasure, will still bring cash if we can (the more dollar bills the better), and will definitely bring gloves with us.

Very good selection and kind staff. will return my autisc fiancé buys alot of dumdums (gundams) LOLread more

From books, comics, and magazines, to vinyls and cds, to dvds, and vhs tapes, all the way to used electronics and video games, this place has so much good stuff. I've bought several books for my book club, cds to listen to at home, and various gifts for other people. I would say the prices are really good here, much cheaper than if you tried going to a chain book store or even small local shops (still should support them). The store is really well organized and clean. The staff are very nice and helpful if you're looking for something specific. There also is a section in the back where you can sell items but I haven't done this yet. Check them out!
