Anyways I go in and find what I'm looking for, the dude was like upset he had to work and grab something for me when he was scrolling on his phone. After I had asked him a question, and he kept shooting back with like weird, passive aggressive attitude, not to mention him " jokingly" calling me dirty even though I just got off work. Overall a very not pleasant, miserable gentleman. Not a good experience for my first time at this location, I'll definitely be sticking to the location east of this one. Only reason it's not one star is for the lady there that was making me laugh.

I understand local game stores…read moreneed to make a profit, and I'm usually happy to support them, but seeing Pokémon 30th anniversary ETBs marked up to around 3X MSRP is excessive. Families already have a hard enough time finding Pokémon products at reasonable prices, and pricing them this far above retail makes it feel like the store is taking advantage of demand rather than supporting the local gaming community. I'd much rather spend my money at a shop that charges a reasonable premium and builds long-term customer loyalty. Unfortunately, based on the ETB pricing I saw, I won't be buying Pokémon products here.

This is only my third time here and one of my go to places to get puzzles -- they have a whole wall of them! They seem gently used most of them, the few puzzles I have purchased there have usually an extra odd piece that doesn't belong or maybe 1-2 pieces missing -- which I think adds an extra challenge!! I think I noticed there was a deal for getting 3 puzzles but I can't recall what it is off the top of my head. Anyway, it was a bit more expensive for puzzles than the goodwill but I would say the quality is a bit better. I love a good community bookstore too -- this place is a gem and I hope people continue to support this place so they never go out of business!!

A really great selection of all kinds of books, music, video games, and more! Everything here is community-based, with the exception of selections here and there that are brand-new. So a nice way to support buying secondhand items from Phoenix folks, being more sustainable and supporting a smaller business, and overall just a good spot to come explore! I've found lots of cool vintage magazines, vintage video games, some vinyls, and a number of books here on 19th. I definitely recommend this location!

The place is totally air conditioned, no windows, has flat screen tv's and consoles, comfy chairs, what more could you ask for? However, since I have a life (is a life without gaming, really a life I want to live??), I can only make it in here sporadically. Don't even get me started on the customer service, which is hands down, the friendliest customer service I have ever experienced this side of the desert, including Las Vegas. Here we were, chatting up the shop clerk, when lo and behold I find me a copy of Vampire Hunter D. Now I know the game is kinda crappy, but I had to have it for my collection of rarities. Cheaper prices than on Amazon too. So far, this is the only store I know of that stays open so late for all of your gamez (yes, I said GAMEZ) needs.

I then asked him where the nearest bathroom was and he looked at me and just shrugged at me. Well come to find out my friend also needed to go and he went to the back and saw the public bathroom. Really pissed off how this was handled and I had to walk 2 blocks to find a shop when all along there was a bathroom right there.

While in Phoenix, I was on the hunt for postcards, and after going to one store that didn't have…read moreany, they suggested we try Changing Hands. Jackpot--they had exactly what I was looking for! First, I have to mention the book bar inside, First Draft. We didn't actually get a chance to go in, but I absolutely love the convenience of having a bookshop and bar together. And I especially love a good play on words, so if I'd had more time and hadn't had my teenager with me, I definitely would have checked it out! Anyway, I walked in and cut right to the chase, asking an employee where I could find the postcards. They pointed me in the right direction, and I found them immediately. We were on a bit of a time crunch, so I didn't get the chance to explore EVERYTHING they had, but I easily could have spent quite a while browsing the books, trinkets, gifts, and all the other fun things throughout the store. Then something caught my eye that I was SO excited about--the mini print vending machine! I had seen these on TikTok before, including ones in San Francisco, so finding one here was a really pleasant surprise. I dug around in my purse and managed to come up with enough quarters to get two prints. I absolutely loved the prints, and they made such a fun and affordable souvenir to bring home. It was one of those unexpected little finds that made the stop even better. My only complaint is that I didn't have more time to explore. I would have loved to browse the store longer and grab a drink at First Draft. Changing Hands is definitely a little gem in the Phoenix area, and I'm glad another store pointed me in their direction!

My sister and I had just visited their Tempe location and were delighted in how similar but different this Changing Hands was from Tempe's shop. Namely, this Changing Hands has a little area for coffee, booze, and bites. Just like the Tempe shop, they have an amazing selection of books and gift items and so much more. I find their prices to be so fair, especially for a fairly small indie bookshop--support small book sellers! We also loved that this shop has a tiny art print vending machine...think of the sticker machines from your childhood that traded quarters for stickers...but cooler!
