Vintage Stock should really be named Nerd's Paradise. Cause seriously, this place is awesome…read more They sell everything from authentic replicas of game items (think: Sora's Keyblade, Link's double-edged sword, even the DRAGONBALLS from DragonBall Z), old school records, posters, CDs, DVDs/Blu-Rays, and anything remotely related to gaming. Availability of different things vary widely by store, of course, but I've seen Sega Dreamcasts, GameBoy Colors, the original Pokemon Blue/Green/Red/Yellows, and just about anything else vintage that has gone back into the vault. These stores really are your opportunity to pick up timeless classics for just about anything that satisfies your inner nerd. The best part, though? They'll gladly buy any old video game, comic book, DVD, CD, action figures, etc. from you. Yes, they flip it around in their store and yes, they only give you 20% of what THEY value the item as, but it certainly beats dumping it in a box and sending it off to Goodwill since you can get some value back out of it (note: not saying that donating to Goodwill is a bad thing, cause it isn't). I took around 40 old Blu-Rays into one of their stores a few weeks ago and walked away with $60 in cash. Not bad. You also have the option to get store credit instead for an extra 20-25% in value (I forget the exact figure). Pretty sweet business model for both parties, if you ask me. Really, the only downside I've seen here are the pricing of their items. It's a bit scattered at times. They have some good deals tucked away in there, sure, but a lot of things that are currently being sold in stores will sell for a similar prices elsewhere. For example, Blu-Rays. Their pricing for newly-released Blu-Rays--even if the item IS used--will be similar to what you can get off Amazon or at Best Buy. But some may be lower, some may be higher, it just seems to be the luck of the draw for which titles get discounted/marked up. Pricing on vintage items are quite subjective, though, as some may think $30 for the old Pokemon Red is a steal while some may scoff at the price. TL;DR: If you're looking for a specific gaming/electronics piece that's a timeless classic and/or not on the retail shelves anymore, Vintage Stock is THE spot. You may have to hit up multiple locations, but chances are, they'll have what you're looking for. Additionally, if you're looking to get some salvage value out of old collectibles or electronics you have laying around, they'll gladly buy it off you for cash as well. Happy shopping, nerds!

Like the Shawnee location, they treat your stuff like it's trash and they treat their stuff like…read moreit's gold bricks, a lot of the staff are rude. Some of them are nice and polite however they are notorious for lowballing you when you are selling to them, I had waited for 30 minutes to form an account with this guy who took his sweet time getting me an account that I didn't even want that I had to have in order to sell what I wanted to sell, and the guy offered me $2 for 400 Pokémon cards which I thought was insulting, the guy was nice and all, however he acted like my collection wasn't worth five cents alone five dollars, I walked in there, hoping to sell them for five bucks and I started high at 15 and was fully expecting him to give me an offer for five and he gave me a two dollar offer so I just bought a couple volumes of anime, declined his offer and left, that was at the Shawnee location, and at this location, I had tried to sell a massive tub of anime because I had Crunchyroll at the time and I didn't feel like I needed them anymore, and I had spent years working hard at my workplace accumulating all of this anime over several paychecks and spent tens and thousands of dollars of my what little I had left of my paycheck on anime, and the guy (this is at the Metcalf location it's a different guy) casually dismissed me with a $100 offer and a look that told me to Pi$$ off as if he was above it all, some of the workers at both of these locations are very nice, but both locations have employees who act like their above everyone else and that their job is beneath them, as if I'm wasting their time, I have been a regular vintage stock for years, and I have never been treated like this before until I moved here from Kentucky, and I'm not exaggerating or being to dramatic , I don't feel like a valued customer vintage stock anymore, some of the employees make you feel welcomed while the other half of them make you feel like you don't belong there, this should be a safe place for nerds from several different communities to come together and buy sell and trade items without feeling like you're not welcome there.

The only issue was I had to keep the old controller. However, this was a great experience still because the representative was very informative and helpful.
