This is a great, fun store. Their specialities seem to be trading card games (especially Magic the…read moreGathering - tournaments held here frequently) and retro video games. They have Atari, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega consoles (Genesis, CD, etc.) and even newer stuff like Playstation 2 and up, XBox, Wii. They have everything from the old games themselves to the console to play them on and all the periphery (controllers, memory cards, etc.). Prices were very reasonable. They accept trades and also do buys. A motto displayed on the signage for this store is "Buy, Sell, Trade almost anything of value" and they mean it. You could walk in with an antique lamp and walk out with a Nintendo console with the works. If it's worth something, they'll entertain a buy offer or trade-in for store credit. They also do disc resurfacing which is very important for we flea market skimmers (discs typically scratched). Talk to Brian, the owner. He's likely the biggest guy anywhere in that store the majority of them time. Looks like Penn Jillette of the magicians "Penn & Teller" (or does Penn look like Brian?). He's super friendly, always willing to try to gain a new loyal customer by trying to get you exactly what you're looking for, and (Pro Tip!) if you're buying quite a bit of stuff at one time (like $100+), he'll totally cut you a nice discount... he did for me! Like a pawn shop, the inventory changes on a daily basis. So, even if he doesn't have your favorite game today, tell him what you're looking for, and it may just show up. Things (even really rare games) just walk in off the street to be sold or traded-in here. Oh, and I didn't even really get into all the contemporary, not-your-grandmother's boardgames they carry, the vintage toys (StarWars, He-Man, generation 1 Transformers, etc. - many new in the packages), and comic books. It's really just a nerd's paradise. Loved this store.

As soon as you grab the door handle to enter Game Quest the problems begin. The handle was loose…read moreand awkward step up into the building almost made me and my son fall. It is very dusty and dirty with a gross coat of grime on the items. The store is cluttered and unorganized making it difficult to find items of interest. There are hazards everywhere including random boxes of merchandise (Skylanders) in the middle of walking areas. It's very difficult to find help with making a purchase & the staff is rude and indifferent if you make a purchase or sell items or not. I was insulted by a staff member for asking when they would be buying gaming items. It was my mistake for visiting this store multiple times with the same experience. I love supporting local businesses but Game Quest has no business being in business. It's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt unless management cleans house. Figuratively & literally.

The employee ROLLED HIS EYES because my sister asked to do a separate transaction so she could apply her coupon. I went ahead and paid for others things in the self checkout. For whatever reason the coupon was not working, which the coupon had a barcode and was not expired, the employee ROLLED HIS EYES and said the best I can do is 10%! My sister politely ask to speak to his manager, the young lady came and said oh yeah this not sale item we can apply the 30% perfect that's all sister needed. The lady walked away, the employee then CRINKLED my sister receipt and handed it to her. I don't know if the person was having a bad day or just hates there job, regardless there was no reason to be disrespectful. He shouldn't be working in customer service.

My watch was still on San Diego time, LOL, so I forgot how late it was and got there about 15…read moreminutes before they closed. Fortunately I'm familiar enough with their merchandise that I was able to run for the section I wanted, found at least some of what I went after, threw it in my basket, lucked out on some sales and finding a 50% off coupon from Joann's on my phone, plus 40% to 50% off a couple of rubber stamping items, ink pads , peacock stamp, paper. I hurried back up to the counter and paid for my items so the girls could go home. I was surprised this location had no pictures and no reviews on Yelp. I was afraid maybe it was an old location that hadn't ever been reported as closed. After going inside it I wondered if instead it was a newer location because it had the look of a new store and had a great selection. Because I was running so late I didn't have a chance to ask any Clerks. The store is not very visible from the street and I passed right by the shopping area it was in the first time. After stopping in Braums Ice Cream for a small sundae I doubled back to this location expecting there to be no Michaels here. Fortunately for me I found it. I think this will be a fairly close location to the area I stay in while in town so I will probably be back when I have a better idea what yarn I need to go with the fleece I just bought at Hobby Lobby.

They aren't all different from one another but they are all different from JoAnn's and Michael's so I enjoy the change. I stopped by this one a couple of times. It is VERY big and my feet hurt by the time I leave there. But I'm still glad I went in because I always find things in here that the stores near me don't have.
