Pokémon cards are always overpriced and constantly changing. I understand that the hobby is going…read morecrazy right now but you can not find a single etb in there for under $60. It is disappointing to see card shops selling at scalper prices. I will not continue supporting a shop like this. Their whole store is overpriced and I feel sorry for the parents going in there buying their kids cards not knowing the actual value of what they are buying. This place feels like a scam now. It is NOT just older cards btw (: it is also cards like prismatic evolution they are selling for $149 when MSRP is around $50. They are literally selling at RESELLER prices.

I asked her can I pick the packs she said no you can tell me which ones to grab so I told her the last 4 in the back row so she said are you sure I said yes.. then she rings me up and she says oh I can't sell you this one that one goes to my boss its the topper pack wtf I picked that pack and you had no clue it was even in the box and now you want to make some shit up that you can't sell it to me!!! It's a pack that was in the box if your crooked ass boss wants those packs then take them all out of every single box of cards that you sell in the store.. she looked spooked that it was one of the packs I picked I asked for a receipt and she didn't give me one and Ran to the back.. how crooked can you be as a hobby card shop to this to a customer, crazy part is I've spent thousands of dollars in this place buying cards for my sons that collect them and drive out of my way since I don't live in town.. Go Spend your money elsewhere makes me think that the owners are probably weighing the packs they have in store and keeping those and ripping those open for themselves and their wallets.. shame shame you can block me on instagram like you did real quick as soon as I commented!! DONT BUY HERE BUYER BEWARE!!!!!! Look at the owners stupid answer the pack was not part of the box are you kidding me, lady it was in the box I Asked for the last 4 packs and that's what I choose it's $4.99 per pack that's what you sell it don't give me that crap the employee didn't know what to sell it for... scammers all of you!!

I came to look around and possibly buy 1 pop I didn't have and before I knew it I spent nearly $300 and went home with 20 new pops. It was a great experience all around, the prices, hours of operation, vast inventory, social and friendly ownership and even ample parking. I will be back for sure.

I had ordered a book for a former student who is now graduating from a nearby university with her…read moreadvanced degree. I asked my AI assistant what would be a suitable gift for her. As her major was psychology, he suggested a seminal book that she might like. So, I went on Amazon and ordered it in hardcover. They promptly shipped it in paperback. I returned it and reordered the hardbound. Again, they shipped me a paperback and, just for good measure, refused to publish my truthful review (which Amazon asked for in the first place) as I am not allowed to say anything that might reflect badly on a seller. So, I ordered it from Barnes and Noble in Modesto. Not only was it the edition I wanted, it was ready in minutes and good value for the price. When I stopped by to pick it up, the clerk was cheerful, helpful, and an all-around good ambassador for the B&N brand. I had forgotten how good these folks are. Amazon lost a book buyer and reviewer. Barnes and Noble Modesto gained both.

This place doesn't deserve a single star. We went in yesterday expecting a normal shopping…read moreexperience, but instead were met with one of the most disrespectful and unprofessional interactions I've had at any business. The person who seemed to be the owner was rude, arrogant, and clearly has no idea how to treat customers. Instead of being welcoming, he made the entire environment uncomfortable. There was even a family with kids in the store trying to enjoy themselves, and his behavior completely killed the vibe. It's honestly embarrassing to see someone run a business this way. After looking at other reviews, it's obvious this isn't a one-time thing--this seems to be a pattern. If this is how you treat people, don't be surprised when customers stop coming back. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place entirely. There are plenty of better shops out there that actually respect their customers.

LMAO, he starts off his reply saying one of his customers is LGTBQ, which idk why that is even…read moreimportant context, as my issue was not with the customer nor with his employee it was with him. I don't even know if they would appreciate you so carelessly giving out that personal info. He then says I was helped right away. I was helped by an employee yes. Which I mentioned already in my review. Because the comics have no rhyme or reason for organization. You should change that if you want customers to actually find what they are looking for. They would not even have to ask for help ... mind blowing I know. Then he says when I brought the books up I looked very upset lol false. I was only upset after standing there waiting to be rung up . The employee said I had to wait for you (why , I have no clue. In my opinion everyone should be able to ring someone up. That's how good businesses are ran.) Usually in a store they don't have to wait for thew owner or manager to do a simple purchase at the register. That's another tip for you. Then he said I gave a disgusted look at the "LGTBQ" customer. Obviously he is trying to use a very common tactic that's ;lazy when he knows he was wrong. I could easily lie and say you didn't like me because I was the only brown person in there. See my point? I have no issue with anyones sexual preference nor did I have a problem with anybody in that store, except you buddy. He then ends with "sorry you weren't happy but it seems like you would not have been regardless, and that I hope I find a different shop more "suitable"". I would have been happy if I was simply acknowledge at the very least . Here's one last tip. If that ever happens, just tell the customer , "How's it going sir one moment I will be right with you" or better yet tell the person you're talking to , "hold that thought let me ring him up" Or hell you could have done both, keep the conversation with him , while simultaneously ringing me up. It's amazing you don't know these things, maybe that's why your store was shut down for that day I first tried to visit and why it was so dusty and empty. You should treat ALL customers with respect. Seeing some of the other reviews on your tiny store pretty much sums up how you are. Also your store wasn't busy like you claimed, you had the person in there talking to you and me. And maybe one person looking at the stuff to the right of the store.
