Everything is displayed quite well and spread out, making it easy to browse through each of the aisles to see what they have. Prices are fair and in line with the online retail market. They also offer disc resurfacing and console repairs as well! The store also specializes in trading card games like Pokemon and Magic. When I stopped by to explore the store, I met some really nice staff and customers. It felt like a great spot to shop or just hang out with friends who share the same hobbies. They got a little bit of everything and also host weekly card tournaments too! I got to witness a live Magic the Gathering event on my random visit, which was a fun experience and gave me a good feeling of nostalgia. I definitely will be coming back whenever I am in the area visiting from the city.

What really made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The manager even went above and beyond by offering me a discount and some extra goodies for my son, which absolutely made my day--he's going to be so excited! I only wish I lived closer so I could visit more often. It's rare to find a shop with both such a great variety and such exceptional customer service. I'll definitely be making a point to come back as soon as I can!

But I picked up a Ghost From the Past, and a Ghost From the Past 2 from this shop. Both of them had a ghost rares! Not even Yami Yugi has luck like that! Everything is very well and competitively priced, compared to other card shops. The cashier helping me out, wasn't eyeballing me where ever I went, like I was going to steal something. But he did follow me helping me out with singles, a sealed items I was looking for. Overall A+ store, and a store with higher end yugioh singles... can't find a place like that.

My boyfriend and I came in to check out board games (decent selection), but the store was nearly empty, and we still got no greeting or offer to help. The employee showed zero interest--when I asked about the games, he said, "Oh, I don't know anything about these," and didn't ask what we were looking for or offer any suggestions. Worse, someone was having a loud, aggressive conversation with that same employee about "knocking someone's teeth in"--completely inappropriate for a store environment. The fact that it was tolerated made the space feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. This place has potential, but the staff needs serious customer service training if they want to create a more inviting atmosphere, especially for newcomers.

I love stretching my money and if you just want to get out their and ride (why not) see if you enjoy the hobby then perhaps move up in scale.

Came to this business knowing they took over the shop at Carnegie so I felt comfortable coming here…read morefor a simple service (carb tune). I had spoken to a worker there who was very knowledgeable and great with customer service. I told him about what I needed and he told me they would try to work with my carb but if not they would order the one they use and ensure it ran right. He gave me an estimate that I felt was reasonable including the possibility of a new carb from them. Went to drop off the bike and that day a completely different service person took over the drop off which I felt was kind of weird since I had talked to the other individual and pretty much thought he would be working on it. Anyways, I had to explain the issue I had over again and instead of giving me the same price quote the individual gave before he said " what's your budget". Mind you, I just needed the bike to have the carb tuned to stay running which I couldn't achieve myself. It's not like I needed a full engine or top end rebuild I felt that question was pretty inappropriate for a tune. Additionally, he kept trying to upsell me on oil change spark plug (which I had just done myself ) and battery which was not what I was there for. The bike was there for over a month and had issues arise That wasn't an issued prior to me dropping off the bike however conveniently I had to pay for the oil change ($59 for a bike that uses less than a quart of conventional oil ) and spark plug. I agreed to pay just because I wanted to get my bike back the way I dropped it off and didn't want to risk the " we recommended this and you declined" if something happened. I got the bike back and once I was home it was missing screws on the airbox and also the airbox bracket to secure to the frame. This could have been catastrophic to my engine if it came apart and the engine sucked in dirt. I don't want to get anyone in trouble or talk bad about this business because for the most part I feel like they mean well. However, I feel like they need to work on being meticulous and returning the customers bike the way they received it
