I so badly wanted to like this place. My husband and I are huge fans of game/puzzle shops. However,…read morethe staff is really rude. My husband was interested in purchasing a chess set, and lifted up the top of the box to see the size of the chess pieces. The worker yanked it out of his hands and yelled at him. It's fine to tell him not to open a box (although he was in no way damaging it), but this should have been handled differently, particularly as one of the reasons people go to these stores rather than shopping online is to see what they are buying. The games and puzzles are also way over-priced. You can find them for half the price on Amazon. Apparently they also have a horrible return policy. You can return only an unopened item and only for store credit and only within a short period of time. I will never buy anything from this store again.

I went to the store in Champaign the evening of 10/3 and my friend and I were in there for almost…read morean hour. The two women who worked there were genuinely excited about various games and thus very good at selling them. There were open games all over the store so we tried a bunch out and the women recommended games based on other games we liked. It was an awesome experience and much better than buying games online! I would love it if this store had events :)

Since then, I've graduated and gone off to college, but this store is a highlight of every trip back to Illinois. Andy and his staff do great work to create a good environment. The store is always clean, has such a wide selection of games, and when you walk through those doors, you know respect is given to you, so long as you give it to everyone else in the store. That's not to mention how generous Andy is with prizing for events, frequent sales, and so much more. If you're looking for a game store in the Champaign region, my personal belief is that you will not find a better place than Rad Lad Games.

One item, a ten ounce silver bar was bought for $240.00 in 2022. She offered only $200.00 for it! I would have made a loss on the item even though silver per ounce sells for nigh $39.00/ounce. I had in total 50 francs and 1 ducat in gold. Using a quote of $3450/ounce of gold and having about .57675 of an ounce would have yielded about $1990.00 in a fair market value outside of listing fees and so on. The whole lot in mkt value was somewhere near $2500.00. The lady offered about $1580.00 for the whole lot. Please avoid this shop at all costs. This person does not want to make a fair profit; she wants to make a killing by taking you for a sucker. I was very angry, but I left w/o making a scene.

This review is about my experience, plus constructive feedback that can be used to make this shop…read morebetter. While I love digging through the stacks at local record shops, I have experienced much better. I've been through quite a number of fantastic record stores in my lifetime, so I have expectations on how a record store should be (even for smaller and newer shops that may just be starting out). I root for local record stores and encourage them to do their best. I've been here, Record Swap, and Exile, and I find Record Swap is the best one. Let me start off by saying I did leave with the purchase of two records today. The shop wasn't terrible, but I do think it was lacking a bit. I understand building up a quality stock takes time, but given the amount of time this store had been around, I expected just a little more. Some selections are spot on with the prices, while other selections aren't worth the $5+ as they look like they've been pulled from thrift stores and $1 bins elsewhere. The layout of the store was decent for the size space, but how the stock was "organized" was honestly a bit of a choppy mess. For the size store, I'd honestly shrink down the "new arrivals" spot significantly and put the items where they're supposed to go. This will make browsing so much smoother (only bring in a bigger new arrivals spot when you've got much more merchandise coming in). Do away with the boards you've got taking up a wall. You may have a passion about them, but they don't belong in a record store, nor will people use Google to look you up if they're in the market for a board... it's just not expected to be found in that type of store. Use that space for more music merchandise, which is expected to be found in this store. Move your cash register to the bar that was built into the spot. This makes the extra merchandise ready for sale behind bar moved to another spot and easier to get to. These are just some of the key changes that could made to make this shop 100x better, instead of adding injury to your name, and will help you take off.
