I went in on two separate occasions looking for a gaming system and games for my son. The first…read moretime I went in with my ten year old and the employee said the next time he'd be saving whatever trade came in for himself first and not putting it out at all. My child left heartbroken that there wasn't even a chance to get one of these systems. When I returned without my son two weeks later (after eventually finding the system somewhere else) , I was told they had nothing for me. Without even knowing what I was looking for or what games my child would like, they made a judgement on me. They in fact did have a game I was willing to purchase for $60 and they told me I could not buy it. We have 7 different game systems we shop for. I will not be back to this store. There are better locally owned businesses who sell used video games and systems to spend your money at.

Tried to sell 2 figures to them both combined was around 150$ which was shown last sold online,…read morethey were only offering store credit and was only going to give me 60 dollars for both figures which is less than 40%!!! Most other business give 60% towards store credit so stay away from Retro loot if u have trade ins u will lose money!!

This has become my 10-year-old son's favorite retro store. We have visited about 10 times since…read morediscovering it this past summer. It has very good pricing and a great selection of games and consoles. Consoles generally range from the Atari VCS (2600) to seventh generation (360, DS, Wii, PS3). Consoles come with one controller and the attachments needed to hook the system up to a TV. The console software is pretty extensive, starting with the NES and running up through 7th gen. Most of the handheld is Gameboy and DS. Once again, their selection is rather well rounded. Some of the more premium titles are located in the display case back by the register. There are also some rare curiosities in the collection that were pleasant surprises ( I never expected to see a full catalog of Virtual Boy software on display anywhere ). Something to be aware of is that any retro purchases can sometimes not work out. We have had one GBA cart and an XBOX cd fail to start when trying out the software at home. The store has a very generous return policy. I believe as long as you bring back the title within 10, they will accept returns and exchanges. The staff is very friendly and will always try to help out. In our cases, the store gave us a direct exchange on the scratched XBOX disc after trying to repair it instore, and a full refund for the GBA game. The store also has other typical collections (Trading Card Games, Funko Pops and other figurines). These are not my area of expertise, so I can't comment on the selection or prices. Several arcade machines are set on free-to-play mode at the store entrance to round out the experience. If vintage video games are your thing, then Retro Loot is definitely worth checking out.

I purchased a card from the online store. The store was closed for three days after my purchase. I…read moreexpected my order would ship the next day that the shop was open.

Being nerds and collectors…read moreourselves, its nice to see things outside conventions and local that we can stop by and check out. First, its a little confusing where this is. It's located INSIDE of State Theater Vintage Emporium, which is an adventure in itself. Walk in the doors, go up the stairs and its the first "big" fixture/box shop on the left. They carried everything and anything anime and Japanese from plush, figures, cards/card games to even straight from Japan video games and trinkets for Ita Bags. They even had some Pocky, Ramune and other Japanese snacks for purchase. I think we saw the owner restocking as we perused and he was very personable mentioning he could answer any questions we had. Prices were in line/if not better than ones I see at conventions and online. Overall a great place to stop if you're in the market for current or vintage Japanese goods.

2nd & Charles is located among the stores of the Centre at Hagerstown. It was previously a Borders…read moreand its neighboring stores include Marshalls and HomeGoods. This store is supposed to be one of the smallest in the chain, but doesn't show it. Large selection of books, comics, DVD/Blu-ray's, and toys/collectables. If you don't know about 2nd & Charles, most of the items are used trade-ins from other customers, so you can never be sure what will be in stock. We had several questions about prices of items behind the counter which were quickly answered and the employees were helpful. Had a good selection of Manga but a smaller selection of Anime DVD/Blu-ray's. A large selection of comic longboxes were available, but per other 2nd & Charles their organization was not the best. Overall, store was clean and organized with an on-par selection of items compared to other stores. I would return here again.

After checking out the card store, we saw a game store on the other side of the building. Since we…read morehad already parked we decided to check it out. Entrance is a little tricky to get too so park on the side near the card store and walk around to the front of the building. Upon entering we were greeted with a HUGE selection of games, everything from NES to current Xbox, PS5 and Switch. Even had some cabinet games you could try out. Behind the counter they had some harder to find titles and some tables between rows was like a mini nerd yard sale with figures, books, crafts, etc. Husband picked up a gunpla model kit from 1980s, I got pokemon pinball for my game boy and some DS games I had been looking for. Price wise was about what I expected for what I got, seemed about middle of the road. On the left side of the building is a DVD section and fairly expansive comic book selection. Husband looked over what they had but nothing really stood out, we mostly came for the retro games. Guy behind the counter was super helpful and friendly, answering any questions we had about their stock and condition of the games. If we're in the area I plan on stopping back in and seeing what new stock they have on hand.

This store had a great vibe and selection of various games from numerous consoles. I collect for…read morethe NES and N64 and they had plenty of games that I wanted. Unfortunately, pricing was generally 10-20% higher than price charting. I get it - brick and mortar, bills, employees, costs, etc. It's a hard market. Though, most of my local stores are beating price charting and offering various deals or buy 2 get 1 free. I didn't see anything like that here but maybe I missed it... In general they carry a wide selection of retro to new console games. I found games on every system that I'd like to acquire. Beyond that they had an array of figures, strategy guides, records and toys. Really cool place to check out. They even had an N64 Sculptors Cut which is super rare. I loved the inventory, the people and everything about the place.

Seems to have a good selection of games especially and an assortment of retro controllers which is better than most, will be back next time I am in the area going forward.
