Review Visit: October 5th, 2013…read more Music. Movies. Games. Debt. Let me preface this by saying that I love what Slackers offers. They have a huge selection of video games and as a gamer, I love that. They also have a wide variety of stuff between movies, cds, anime, posters, figures, and whatever else you could be looking for. Now the negative aspect. What I do not like are their prices. I am thrifty, so when I am shopping used video game stores, one tends to get a general idea/feel for what things should be priced at. Slackers tends to price everything above Market Value. Whether they do it because it is a college town or because it is a bit of a nicer area... it seems to be working for them. I love swinging by when I visit my friends in the area, but I hardly ever purchase anything since I can find it for a lot cheaper where I live. Any who, they really do offer a large selection of everything. I love the fact that most of their SNES-era games have boxes on the shelves. Nostalgia kicks in looking at some old gaming boxes. The games don't come with the boxes, as they are store displays. But still cool to see! I will try and snap a few photos the next time I go and update this post with them. It's a great place to scratch almost any nerdy itch you have, but it does come with a premium price. If you are in the area and are looking for something a bit cheaper on the video game side of things., check out Grumpy Bob's Emporium a few miles away. If you need more of a geek fix (board games, figures, comics), you can pop over to Heroic Adventures. It is literally a 2 minute drive from Slackers.

This is the place to go! Amazing selection of games for every platform ever, including Atari 2600…read moreand Intellivison. They must have half a million games in stock - it's incredible! Also has a decent stock of DVDs all at very reasonable prices. They take in all sorts of equipment and seem eager to make a deal with you if you want to leave with a bunch of stuff! Check these guys out!

This was suppppper and I mean SUPER last minute but they accommodated us no problem!…read more They showed up on time, helped the kids with the games without hesitation. They were so patient and kind. The kids ages ranged from 5 up to 12 years old. All the kids really enjoyed this! We had the bus from 1:30 pm till about 2:30pm. I think this was enough time. I will be booking with this specific entertainment company again!

We went to a birthday party, all went okay except (my son said they guy didn't want to change out…read morethe game for him bc they are nit allowed to touch the disc) until they left, they knocked over the brick mailbox and wouldn't give the customer their insurance info, the guy wouldn't even get out of the truck, left his pregnant wife who is very far along to deal with it, said they didn't have time to deal with this and took off, now they won't answer any form of communication, even from the police. You think they would had least gave them back their money so it could go towards the new mailbox that they now have to get. 2nd review: I also booked them for a party the first time and they were over an hour late, had to keep the kids longer so they could play thankfully the parents let them stay, they never called to leave a message, I kept calling them, finally they answered and said they were coming and they would make it up, gave me a little discount.

I decided to go to this store because I saw some social media posts about record store day. I have…read morenever been to one and it sounded fun. We arrived an hour after the store had opened, there was no long line or crowd. I found the vinyl I wanted and my mom found something she liked too. I also wanted to point out that the person working the register was really really nice and super helpful. It seemed like the store had a large variety of interesting items so we will definitely be back.

I admit to being partial to Game Euphoria in Washington nearby, but I did need a new comic place…read moreand heard they carried stuff here. Turns out they were a week behind in most any title I wanted, which was a downer. Gaming side ways they were limited too, though they have games like Magic decently covered and I've heard they have decent tourneys. My quibbles are minor really, I came in after they had just opened and issues are to be expected (orders starting out are notoriously random for any store). Environment was very clean, and the staff were attentive and polite. Overall a nice place working through its birthing stages.

You can buy or download a game anywhere, but game shops will be around for quite a while yet because of places like this, and the unique experience of purchasing and discussing gaming with someone that has as much interest in the subject as you. This is the best GameStop within 15 miles hands down.

Half Price Books is the best place I take the books and media as you thin out your collection…read more (Dunaway Books and Hammond's Books have failed to return communication and Left Bank Books' hours don't work for me.) That being said... you get very little money for what you bring in. Much less than other used bookstores offer. I know the stores need to make a profit. I don't expect that the inventory will get 30% of the asking price. But 20% or even 15% would be nice. Am I getting that? I think not. At Half Price Books, you don't know what you're getting for each item. How it worked in the past: Bring books to the counter. Wait to be paged. Return to see 2 (or 3?) groups of stacked books. Staff make a point of saying "These are the books we want. Those are the books we don't want." The "don't want" group is larger most of my visits. Staff offer to donate/recycle (read: trash) the books for you. Formerly (early 2020s) you could take accept the offer on the wanted group and take the donate group to your preferred nonprofit. How it worked about year ago: Though staff have your books separated into different groups, the offer is on all of the books, including the books they will donate/trash. Once the books are on the counter, you can't take a single book back without refusing the offer. You must take all the books back. A staff member told me that if there are some books I want to take elsewhere, I should put them in 2 different groups so I can have different offers. Hmmm. How it works now: You can't take any of the books back, even if you tell them in advance. Staff say they won't tell you which ones are the wanted/unwanted though after their review, the books sure seem to be in different groups. When you ask about this, they say this has *always* been the policy, and that they only deviated from it during the covid pandemic. (Then that was not *always* the policy, was it?) I imagine the books groups are something like of: sell here, sell at a different HPB location, donate, trash. If some of these books are going to be thrown away or donated, why not give them to the owner? It should be less work for the staff. So it's imperfect. This is as good as it gets for people hoping to unload of a few hundred dollars brick-and-mortar resell value in books for a little cash. Shopping here: I rarely buy books, journals, games, media and the other items sold here. When I want to buy something particular that I think will be here, Half Price Books is one of the places I shop. Buying a used book locally by a company that is based out of state is still better than buying from Amazon. I can usually find some books to bring for them to review while I shop.
