    Service!
    Jeffrey L.

    I called yesterday asking if they're open for the holidays and they were today, but even though Yelp said they open at 11 AM, they actually opened at 10! Right as I entered the door, I was greeted by a kind HI WELCOME! There's a first little room with budget board games that you can purchase or play which I definitely would've loved to be able to spend some time. There are playing the last of us or Dune, but I was on a mission to get some pokemon cards for a friends birthday. There's a huge selection from Pokémon to Magic gathering to other animes that you watch. All the all the staff was absolutely friendly and helpful. I was able to pick up some singles and be on my merry way. Overall I had a wonderful experience here. If I ever need to come back for some cards or any games this is the place to go to! Thank you so much Kingslayer Games!

    I love this shop! Very friendly and knowledgeable!!! My daughter is a collector and we have had a really great experience here with a lot of great pulls from the Pokemon boxes we bought. I love that they are a close knit community and do not endorse scalpers by letting people buy a ton of products! Limit one on some items so everyone has an opportunity to collect!!! I can't say enough good things about this shop, it's hard work to bring players and collectors together and have fun what it's all about, not all this greed and hoarding I see with products. Everything is priced fairly and not heavily marked up either. This is our new favorite spot in town to collect and visit often. I recommend them highly.

    Trainer box recommended to me by Daniel; first time buying pokemon cards since the late 90s!

    Today I went into the store because they had a specific item that I wanted. A gentleman over the…read morephone was nice, answered any questions I had and held my item. When I arrived I told the woman named London (738458) that I had 5 trade-in's as the gentleman said it was ok to do. Almost immediately she starts raising her voice and saying that I can't stack. I told her that I was aware and was going to make 5 separate transactions. I brought my boyfriend and 3 children. With the same tone she continued to talk down to me and says that she doesn't take toys but the posters were ok. Again she proceeds to tell me that I can't stack and that it's 18 and over only that can trade, no children. The gentleman that I spoke to earlier apologizes to me for his mistake and I understood. As I continued to ask her questions to make sure I understood how trade ins work she continued to raise her voice, almost yelling. My anxiety started kicking in and asked her to stop talking to me in that manner, I was simply asking questions to better understand. I requested the gentleman to help me and she said, "no, I'm the manager and he's in training!" I had to ask her a total of two times to stop raising her voice at me for her to stop. On the inside I was on the verge of wanting to cry. I pretended like what she did didn't bother me just so I can get items as they were gifts. I was embarrassed with the treatment, especially in front of my family. My two boys only aged 9 and 11. Please change this behavior of hers. Negative attitude like that will be the downfall of the rest of the GameStop stores. I recently renewed my membership and would hate for that to happen. I will now be avoiding this store at all costs. Store address: 2200 Harbor BLVD Costa Mesa, CA 92627 Date and time of incident; 12/6/2025 Transaction: 1:29pm

All in all, this is a really good GameStop store with great staff.

    Maybe it's the proximity of this particular location to Japanese businesses or perhaps there's just…read moresomething about this part of OC, but I found this Bookoff to be a delight. Sure, the parking can be hectic sometimes. After all, there is a Tokyo Central right next to it, but that's what makes this location so good. You can spend hours perusing the aisles for some good finds but can take a break and get some Pocky or a bento or a Fanta nearby without ever breaking theme. What's even better is it feels like the employees enjoy working here. They greet you warmly when you walk in and that hospitality Japan is known for is reflected in this staff, even if they aren't Japanese and this isn't Japan; the spirit still carries. So does the nostalgia walking through the aisles. If you played video games throughout the 90s to now you'll see pieces of your childhood everywhere you look: a Super Famicom with Chrono Trigger for sale or a Vegeta action figure going Super Saiyan or the many mangas of Rumiko Takahashi such as Ranma 1/2 or Inuyasha. In encapsulates otaku culture through the ages well. Even looking for books of different genres and authors can be found, some new but most used. It doesn't mean they aren't good. It just means they're pre-loved. This means you can get a bargain for some books you might have been meaning to check out for a great price. They also have book sales all the time. If you feel a need to lighten your collection at home, whether it be action figure or games you no longer play, Bookoff buys them from you. It means your cash could go even further if you have things to sell. Though the size of Bookoffs in America does have me wishing they were larger like their Japanese counterparts they do pack quite a lot for the space they occupy. You can spend 15 minutes to multiple hours here, depending on what you're looking for. I say that means it's worth checking out. After all, the worst that can happen is if you don't find anything to tickle your fancy you can always go to Tokyo Central or IKEA right after.

    I love this spot. It's one of the OGs, and I've been coming here for a long time. There are some…read moregenuinely great finds--plenty of $1 items, solid deals on DVDs, and every once in a while something really special slips through the cracks. That said, the pricing is all over the place. It's obvious they rely heavily on some kind of algorithm to assign value, and when it works in your favor, it really works. I've picked up items worth hundreds of dollars for a few bucks. But the flip side is rough--things priced at $100 that you could easily find for $10-15 elsewhere. That inconsistency is both the magic and the frustration. Selling to them is another story. They'll give you next to nothing unless it's something truly high-end, and even then, you're usually better off selling elsewhere. The margins are so far off at times that it really makes you wonder who's willing to take those deals. They do require ID and seem to follow the rules, but the reality is this kind of setup attracts people who either don't know what they have, don't care, are impatient, or are desperate. And yes, it also likely attracts people unloading stolen goods because they know the items are valuable, even if the payout is low. The store itself is very DIY. Nothing is cataloged, staff can't really help you with inventory, and what you see is what's available. Customer service is minimal--they're mostly focused on sorting and loss prevention. There's also an awkward dynamic between management and floor staff that you can feel when you're in there. At the end of the day, this place is a gamble. Sometimes you walk out feeling like you scored big. Other times you find something rare and exciting that's priced so high it might as well be untouchable. It almost screams desperation and lack of knowledge on the selling side--but ironically, that's exactly what brings in so much good stuff. If you know what you're doing and have patience, this place can be incredible. If not, it'll just feel chaotic.
