    I've bought several things from this store and I've always gotten a good deal. The atmosphere in…read morethe store is great and the service is amazing. The owner knows a lot about almost everything.

    I went to this store initially looking to buy Dungeons and Dragons books and miniatures, and to see…read moreif they had a local Dungeons and Dragons play groups that I could join. This was around January of 2026, and at the time they were running Magic the Gathering card play tournaments with Zero Dungeons and Dragons books or miniatures in stock. But the Store owner Andy said they had previous D&D group building attempts at his store Location, but the Dungeon Masters either were overwhelmed or just did not have the time to be a steady long-term DM (Dungeon Master). Andy Told me he would advertise for players for me on his business web site if I would be interested in being a long-term DM. I told Andy sure; I would give it a shot that I was looking for 4 to 6 players in a steady in-person play group at his store. I asked Andy what my space rental price would be, and he said nothing, that he would be glad to have the client/player traffic to his store and if enough D&D players came regularly that he would look into buying and stocking or ordering D&D books and accessories if the interest grew and held par. So, Andy made one post, and I got two people to come initially that grew to four then to 7 players after he posted my request for players a second time three months later. This cost me nothing but my time to be available for the players. Andy had a person to come in and sell several used great condition D&D books to him, and he sold those to me at cost trying to help me grow my group. He has sold and few other D&D pieces to me at a good price that were 3D printed and brought into his store by local printers. One was an awesome dice tower that I bought and I hate dice towers, but it was too cool not to buy. Andy still does not charge me or my players any rental play space time like other game stores do. So, I in turn to help show my appreciation when I go to the Andy's store I pick up and neaten up the store for him as I can always double checking to make sure not to throw away anything that maybe in us or valuable to the store or clientele. I even helped Andy for several hours a couple times during store hours to do store resets. I watched people come into Andy's store trying to sell him used products that were either good condition or pure trash. Andy is always fair and upfront in his pricing to buy the product and tells the folks what they could sell it for themselves online or at yard sales or what have you. Or if it is worn out or just to pour of a condition to buy to resell the reasons why. I watched a guy try and pull a scam on Andy and being a retired police officer I called it out on the spot keeping Andy from being scammed, and several people to come in with junk that needs tossed in the recycle bin or trash asking top dollar for it. Andy just refuses the purchase, and they get mad, walk outside the store and stand and post negative reviews. Look I would not buy a tire at a tire store that has holes in it expecting it to hold air or even to resell it, so don't bring in your trash expecting a pay day (Know its condition and value beforehand). Lastly Andy still allows me to hold my D&D games on Saturday mornings and makes sure he gets to the store Saturday morning or has a key holder there for me to hold my game sessions. Andy also is extremely laid back letting you to come in and shop without the "Used Car Salesperson" pressure. His approach is if you find what you like then to let him know and work out your deal. I watched more folks than not to get deals when they make the attempt to ask. And most recently Andy has told me that he can order any D&D book or miniature or accessory from a retailer and get it for me, I just have to pay ahead of ordering because it is not what he stocks and sells in his store (A very rational and respected policy, Andy could just say no). I think this is an awesome man with a big heart that hosts a great local clientele but refuses to be ripped off or scammed or pays a person that wants full price for an item they want to sell or is complete trash. Going to any car lot or pawn store you will never get full market value for what you are selling or even told what the fair market value is, but Andy is straight up honest about the value and price he can pay you so he can try and resell the item. The man is in business and needs to make a living folks, so take your junk and junk sales reviews with a grain of salt. Honestly, Bill Kiser

    Stopped here on a whim on my way through Grove City. Nice little store in a plaza next to the movie…read moretheater. The store is very small but jam-packed with all kinds of comic books, magazines, toys and other comic shop staples. I bought a handful of reasonably priced MAD Magazine Specials. One magazine had no price and the young lady working texted the manager and he gave her a price and I found it to be acceptable and bought the magazine. Like I stated, the store is very small and my claustrophobia kicked up a bit, but I enjoyed my visit. More than enough things to look at and enjoy. It is located nowhere near me, and the area it is in is sports a tough stretch of massive traffic on Stringtown Road while trying to get to the freeway. I would return if my errands took me near there again.

    Not a trustworthy business owner. I made a deal with owner to buy my comic book collection, over…read more2500 books, sight unseen. He offered $550 and he'd pick them up. He showed up and decided to look through boxes before paying me. He then said he couldn't make his money back fast enough, that a lot of them were $1.00 books. At worst, my math says that's $2500.00 in comics knowing that a lot of them were worth much more than a dollar. He offered me $200 or he'd leave them. At 76, I wasn't about to lug up all 19 boxes back up on overhead shelves in my garage, so I gave them to him for the two hundred. Simply not honest or trustworthy, nor a man of his word!

People that give Ollie's a bad review don't understand what Ollie's is about. Ollie's buy up products that other stores and warehouses can't move. They heavily discount the items at great prices. The store does seem to be disorganized most of the time but when you go in there you never know what they are going to have. I blame a lot of the disorganization on the customers. People just move things around and don't have the courtesy to put things back. The biggest lack of respect is the parents that let their kids go wild in the toy isle. They just let them go like it's their personal playground while they go shopping. When they're done they grab the kids and leave toys all over the isle. People, control your kids! This is a place of business, not your personal playground. The best thing I like at Ollie's is the book section. It's awesome to get books that are $29.00 for $1.99. Ollie's has just about anything you need. Housewares, linens, personal hygiene products, tools, toys, food items, and more. Check it out when in the area. You'll be glad you did.

    Ollie's is one of my favorite stores! You can find a little bit of everything here but I mainly…read morecome for the book section. They have several aisles of books marked down to almost thrift prices. The food section is also pretty good. You can find a lot of snacks and other foods you don't really see anywhere else.

There are plushy, puzzles, and puppets. You get the idea. And to top it off, there's a very friendly lady there to help sort it all out for you. The only drawback to the store is that the building is old and not ADA compliant. The entry is via very steep stairs and no landing. It's kind of scary and I'm glad there are handrails. For those with mobility issues, don't worry, as there is in-store pick up, local delivery, and US shipping.

    What a fun find in the heart of downtown Yellow Springs! I'm wondering if they're new-ish given…read morethat I'm the first to review this business on Yelp. I'm a sucker for a toy store that sports creative and educational toys. Nine times out of ten I walk out with a purchase either for myself or the kiddos in my life. This visit was no exception. We ended up purchasing these fun stickers that convert a cardboard box into a car (they also had versions that create a mini play kitchen - how fun?!). The shop was filled with educational items - engineering, arts/creative, invention toolkits, art history, etc. They also have a small section in the front with quirky items like a mustached baby pacifier. My only reason for holding back on the fifth star was that some of the tchotchke style items seemed overpriced to a point that I couldn't justify spending more for local - for example $17 sunglasses for kiddos.
