If you want to buy or sell used games, forget about gamestop! My first encounter with Game Giant…read morewas about a year and a half ago. I had found my Game Boy Advanced SP and charger, and so had my roommate from college. We decided we wanted a link cable. We found this place online and showed up- they had a box with about 15 or 20 link cables in it and we were able to pick the color we wanted. They had an OEM Nintendo cable too, but we were low on funds and opted for the aftermarket part. This newfound game boy and link cable began a sort of romanticism for me for retro gaming. I have continued to go back since then, buying games here and there or accessories... and over time, it has become my go-to store for physical purchases of games if possible. That leads me to what I truly love about Game Giant: they continue to breathe life into the consoles and games and history that would not be found in Wilmington otherwise. GG also charges fair prices, and sometimes their prices are even cheaper than the industry standard (Buy used switch games from here!!! They are very competitively priced!). They stock rare items, complete editions of older games (I saw them sell an original copy of Zelda the other day), they can probably solder and repair any damaged part of your gaming system, and best of all they give great advice and are very helpful with amazing customer service. Of course they also buy old games and give you store credit or cash if you happen to have anything lying around :) Game enthusiasts: be sure to add this to your list!

They have a retail store located downtown and sell physical media - CDs, LPs, DVDs, magazines, books with a primary catalog that revolves around improvised music: Jazz, Free Jazz, Electroacoustic-Improv, Downtown New York, etc. Once or twice a month, they hold live music shows featuring a variety of musical artists from their catalogue, as well as local artists. The shows are really unique, and unlike any others I've been to in Wilmington. They're also really cheap! Usually $5 (I've never paid more than $10), and you get free snacks and wine!

Awful customer service on this day. I get it, sometimes people have bad days…read more I went into the shop to get some information and possibly sell some of the vinyls I've accumulated from my family over the years. I have albums from 1930 -1970's. The lady working that day criticizes and proceeds to tell me " These albums weren't mine" and "Nobody wants your grandma's old stuff". If there is not a market for these vinyls simply say so, no need to be rude to your customers and make me feel like I was an idiot for bringing in vinyl to a vinyl shop and trying to sell/trade them. I Won't be recommending this shop to anyone. They Made me feel very unwelcome and awkward.

It's located inside an antique mall (The Foundry). There's a huge sign that will lead the way inside. I like the set up of his selections. They are categorized by genres. I liked that they were all organized. You cannot open the vinyl but They are guaranteed in mint and very good plus conditions (we checked when we got home) If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Besides vinyl, he does sell used CDS at a reasonable price. We walked out with some rare vinyl finds. Sealed Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time, Nektar, James Bond Soundtrack to Moonraker, and Bootsy Collins. If you used credit card, they do charge an extra 3% on top of tax so make sure to bring cash instead. Other than that, what a great experience and highly recommend you visit. You may find some rare treasures.

I honestly wasn't expecting too much from it, but I was legit blown away by the goodies my wife and I found here. Of course, we're always on the lookout for new vinyl shops for some quality crate digging, and if you're looking for the same while in Jacksonville, NC, I definitely recommend a visit! It may seem small on the outside, but the selection is not small at all. Everything is set up by genre so it's easy to hunt for goodies. New and used vinyls as well as rarities can be found all over, along with used CD's, vinyl speakers, and unique collectables. The owner asks that patrons do no open the vinyls, but guarantees their quality 100%. All the vinyls my lady and I left with were in pristine condition too. As far as payment, the mall itself charges a 3% fee for credit card purchases, so cash is recommended. This is a true hidden gem for vinyl-heads in eastern NC. Check 'em out and tell 'em Josh sent ya! And make sure to get a Retrorecords button before you leave!
