So close to the holiday... let's just say that's not going to work! (It's the 23rd of December!) I called this store and they confirmed they had Catan and various expansion packs in stock. The price is exactly what I was expecting to pay and then they had a 10% holiday discount. It's a Saturday and most stores are NOT answering their phones but this store answered on the 1st or 2nd ring!! They set aside two different games for me and confirmed they were open until 10pm! I swung by and the nicest person helped me to check out, signed me up for the rewards program, and explained their business model. You can rent and play games, purchase them, or bring your own! I hope to come back soon! Thank you! (Note they are open until 10pm and they had many tables inside for board gaming!!)

This is their second location, Berlin, which is much larger than its predecessor in Wallingford. They even have events which you can check out their monthly calendar on their socials (Facebook & Instagram). The staff is always friendly and helpful. The cards are reasonably priced too. If you are searching for something in particular and it's something that they don't have in stock or carry, they'll suggest what other shops to try next. My husband and I wonder in to browse and purchase Pokemon cards on occasion. The Dragon's Lair has a rewards program also, which I recommend signing up for of you become a regular. Dragon's Lair is located right next to Provision State Coffee in the Depot Crossing building. There is plenty of parking AND a coffee shop nearby are two bonuses for me.

I was looking for Atlas and / or Bowser rolling stock and Tom did not disappoint. I found a nice vintage 50 ton coal car for my steam layout and a couple of 70 ton hoppers for my diesel layout. Very pleased. I was greeted a couple of times by a really nice and gentle dog named Saddie. She wanted to play. I could have easily spent a couple of hours here. Tom answered a few questions and another guy offered to help me with replacing some broken couplers. I'm going to bring a couple of cars down and learn from a pro. Thanks Tom! I will be back.

In the shopping bag were these things I wanted to sell: 1) Ten loose packs of hockey cards - Ken's wasn't interested. 2) A sealed box of hockey card packs - Ken's wasn't interested. 3) A ziplock bag of 1988 Topps baseball coins -Ken's wasn't interested But in the binder were over 200 Wrestling cards from the 1990's, and to my surprise, Ken's was VERY interested in buying them. Now I know that shouldn't have been a surprise because I learned Ken's has devoted a whole room exclusively to wrestling memorabilia, and they were super interested in my Hulk Hogans, Andre the Giants, and Macho Man Savages. They bought every single card and I walked out with a price I could live with. If you have any wrestling fans in the family, they will do a pile-driver off the top rope and have a blast looking around Ken's Rasslin' Room. .

I've had a blast selling off my old baseball cards (my kids don't want them) locally and on-line, A few months ago we also sold off our stamp and coin collection, except for some commemorative Canadian coins minted for the 1988 Calgary Olympics. I contacted KC's Gold, as well as a coin dealer in Toronto to gauge their interest in those Olympic coins. Fred from KC responded right away but his Canadian counterpart never responded after two e-mails. How un-Canadian of him!! Anyway, I visited Fred today to accept his very fair offer. The store is awesome, with baseball cards, coins and vinyl LPs everywhere. Fred was one of the very nicest shop owners I've ever met. He was a real pleasure to work with.

I remembered the Olde Towne Coin Co. from my days growing up in Newington, so I called them. We made an appointment for them to come to my house about a week later. When they arrived, they got right to work, sorting the coins and examining the jewelry. They were professional and kind to my friend, and we both enjoyed the banter between them as they went about the task. I felt confident that we were getting fair prices for everything - the process was as transparent as one could hope for. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again or to recommend them to a friend.

Isn't that one of the 5 or 7 most basic terms in coins?" The guy then asked me what I was going to do with the proof coins. I told him I was going to get them graded. Then he starts preaching to me how coins should not be graded. I'm like, "Okay?" After you sell them to me, aren't they "my coins?" Then he asked me if I want to buy them, and get first crack at them with the grading company. In my head I'm thinking, "Didn't you just tell me that they shouldn't be graded?" I stood there for like half an hour with him and his wife standing on this pedestal. I was a bit irritated how they kept preaching to me, thinking they know everything. I've been collecting for 37 years (I'm 42 1/2 now). At the time of this visit, I was a collector for about 30 to 31 years. These power freaks like to make you wait at the door for a minute, before they press the buzzer to let you in or out. I couldn't believe the big headedness. They wear a big hat, but the store didn't have much inventory, and their prices were through the roof.
