This is one of those shops that you love to go into because it has stuff everywhere, comics,…read moreSportscards, trading cards, toys and supplies. It's got so much stuff though that it's a little overwhelming. You could spend hours looking and not see everything. Staff was very friendly and attentive even the owner Ron was in there chatting with customers. Prices were good, I bought 3 1987 Topps baseball vending boxes (unsearched) for $5 each, that's a steal. Also picked up 4 pack of 55 point top loaders for $4.95 each. Will definitely be back when in town

I'm only writing this to hopefully help some of you people that do not know what you're doing when…read moreyou sell gold or silver or platinum or jewelry or Coins. Joe, who owns Ron's Coins if you know what you have not what you're seeing on a eBay price or what you're seeing in a book price but you actually know what you have. You can get Joe to give you a pretty good price as for the rest of the people that work for him, his son and his sister And the other people working there they will rip you off blind and make you think that you are getting a deal. Gold and silver are both going up with no signs of going back down. They are predicted to go much higher than they are and these are from people that know Not from just some John Doe that is making guest work out of the market. I just called needed to get rid of some of the stuff to buy sell Gold, etc. only as a private person not as a business so I called to unload some of my extra to try to get some cash during the holiday season. I believe it was Joe son brother is the one I spoke to they are offering 50% of the going rate of any given gold unless it is gold coins. They are giving two dollars under spot price which is what the going price is of any day for silver eagles which almost always go for over spot to any other reputable dealer. They are giving less than 50% of spot for sterling silver. In other words say sterling silver is going for $60 an ounce they're giving people $30 now. Remember that might sound like a lot of money to you but that's what it was going for before it started shooting up so in other words for your property they are making double they're doing the same thing for 10 1418 carat gold and if you have a resell jewelry item even if it has $100,000 diamond in it, they will give you 50% of spot price for the gold and keep the diamond. These are lying thieving users who have made their fortune and I do mean a fortune out of other peoples lack of knowledge. There are many places that buy precious metals and there are many places that actually give you fair prices some of them you have to wait a little while to get your money 24 to 48 hours others you might have to drive an hour or two to get to because Yakima is one of the closest places to hell I've ever been. So do yourself a favor if you have something to sell, do a little bit of homework and call around before you sell for anybody that's sitting at home trying to sell grandma Sterling silverware $30 an ounce might sound really great but to be honest with you $55 an ounce, which would be much fair price sounds much better. However, there is a little bit of leniency when it comes to silver, but not normally when it comes to gold if you're selling your gold say 14 carat 1 g for less than $70 a gram you're cheating yourself. Ron's is giving you 40 and they use a scale that's called a penny weight scale the reason they use that scale as it confuses people and are able to rip you off even more because people are not aware of exactly what a penny weight is. Buyer and or seller beware. Joe can be a very fair person, but he did not get to be one of the richest people in Yakima by doing that I have literally seen him give somebody dollars on things that are worth thousands. I've been in the store. I've watched it while it was happening, but I have had some good dealings with him also. So what he's doing isn't actually illegal just a very immoral in my opinion. As for his family members and his workers, they are simply thieves I talk to. I believe it was his sister, the big heavy fat woman to sell a 50 peso piece. They are gold from the 1940s they are over an ounce of gold back then Gold was about 1700 an ounce she offered me $450. Told me that that's all the Gold that was in there now you go ahead and make your choice. You can think I'm an angry person who simply trying to get more people to come to me, but I don't buy any more since Covid because Covid pretty much bankrupted me but I'm just telling you the truth because most people who are going into these places to sell aren't doing it because they want to they're doing it because they need some money to survive to keep their home with their lights on to put food on the table. Joe and his group of immoral Democrats the only reason I use the Democrats is it's the nicest way of calling somebody a very bad person to make a fortune on while the people that really need the money end up losing their home or their electricity or their kids end up going hungry. You can choose to believe me or just do a little bit of legwork yourself and you'll find out I'm not lying. Have a very blessed Christmas and a very prosperous new year. God bless you all.

Growing up this was the only movie rental place in town. This would be your one stop shop for…read moremovies games and candy. Old movies were only 50 cents and new ones were a little over a dollar. You just pick out your movie and bring it up to the counter where you never had to tell them your name because they knew who ya were. Granted I saw some shady stuff go down here but I never felt unwelcome or unsafe and I'd always leave my bike unlocked and thrown on the pavement outside. My only complaint is that they took away the electricity ball (one of those glass balls you put your hands on and it zaps you). Bring it back!

There are two book sellers I have loved to visit for many years. One is in Portland or used to be…read more It's name is Powell's Books. It's hard to say if it remains intact in the trying times that city condones as of late. This I do not know. I no longer travel to Portland for pleasure. This shoppe is the other. The Archives. It's a place of solitude where you can be inundated with books. You can wander there as long as you like. No one will intrude on you. Help is available for the askance. If books are not your particular cup of tea on any given day many other amusements await. Video this, Audio that and several genres of either. The store is ever changing. Who knows what treasures abound this day or next week? You're looking for what book? Of course you can't find it! How could you? I've been here countless times and I seldom try very hard to find something particular. I query the wizard behind the book sellers desk, (you may have to look hard to see him), he may have what you seek, but not on a shelf. Perhaps tucked away for one reason or another. It may here but not for sale per se. Maybe it is on a shelf and still seems to be invisible. If it's here, he will know that and where. If it isn't, it's likely he can obtain a copy. Book sellers have stores that are like the multitudes you see, you know, in strip malls, in boutiques, and so on. It seems someone has a stamp and just stamps one in this city, then the next city and so on. Boxes, little boxes and they all look just the same. You get my drift. That, thank the Gods is NOT THE CASE here. The owner is a purveyor of books. He eats, breathes, buys, sells and covets books. Yes, he is a wizard. Pooh, pooh you say, I can't blame you. I may have just happened upon a review like this one thought pooh pooh it as well. If you disagree with me friend, you haven't been in his shoppe that's all. There isn't another place like The Archives. There isn't another wizard like the one operating this shoppe. If books pique your interest with the tiniest twinge remember, the magic in the world is fleeting and fading. "Seize the day."

I called about picking up a game the day it was released. We were told once it was at midnight then the store would close. We drove an hour away to get to this GameStop and they were closed. We had been lied to about how the store operated and they refused to stay open 5 minutes past closing time for us to pick up our game. Then when I tried to open the door to see if they stayed open for us the guy at the register gestured with his hand shooing me away. We will NEVER shop at this location again and will simply avoid GameStop in general because of this. Shop local folks. This place is awful.
