Excellent repair work. Not so excellent communication…read more They did an amazing job repairing my 3DS after the B button stopped responding correctly. One of the screws on the back was stripped so I wasn't able to get the panel off myself to try to fix it. But they were able to work around it. They also replaced the cracked circle pad pro nub without me even asking! The one thing I would suggest for improvement is that they don't communicate well. They are very friendly and made me feel confident that they could fix my issue. However, when I brought my unit in they told me they would let me know after 3-4 days what the total price would be as well as what they would have to do to fix it. After 8 days I called myself and they told me they would call me back later that day. 3 days later I still hadn't heard anything had to call them back again to get an answer. This cycle happened 2 or 3 more times before I figured out that they are more likely to reply to text messages. They also forgot to put 2 of the screw covers back when they repaired my console. After contacting them they said that they would ship them out to my house. It's been over two months and I've contacted them twice about it, but nothing has come of it. The communication and lack of following up when they would say they would is the only reason I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise I would totally recommend this business. They also have a lot of rare and obscure video games and accessories. Such as, did you know that a sewing machine was made that could pair to a gameboy color? Well I didn't, they have one!

Personally I came to purchase flash paper & liquid finger smoke when I was a brat teenager. Come on as an adolescent this stuff was essential for having fun.

I'm definitely more of a sports cards guy so seeing the variety of cards most of em rookies was nice especially the jerseys. Owner was nice and super helpful wasn't at all snooty like another recent review mentioned. I'd say the only things qualm wise I got is using cash only and the pricing on some cards. Obviously I know businesses gotta make a living but when eBay is (for some I saw on my wishlist) 10-15x cheaper I'd just say go there. Also while credit/debit card fees to businesses can be high I do wish they at least had a debit card option or supported a low cost brand. A lot of people don't carry cash anymore especially on trips so just something to prep for. Definitely would come back regardless.

Lose Yourself in Pop Culture History…read more Take this review with a grain of salt since I don't collect anything. Don't be fooled by the name, Market Coins offers so much more than collectible coins. Tucked away in the labyrinth of Pike Place Market, this quirky, cramped little collectibles shop makes you long to camp out and browse vintage magazines, losing yourself in a slice of life back in the day... or more accurately, a slice of life back in the year. The store is a treasure trove of unusual finds. There are ironic vintage political statement posters (check out the photos and you'll see what mean), stacks of sports cards, and an interesting mix of magazines. In particular, the vintage issues of Ring Magazine caught my eye. I have a couple of retired pro-boxer friends and decided to surprise them with retro issues of this classic boxing pub. The owner was friendly and helped me sift through the overwhelming number of options to find the perfect issues. He steered me towards the editions that were perfect for my nostalgic boxers and didn't break the bank since they aren't collectors either. Even if you aren't an avid memorabilia collector, this place is worth a browse.

The Miyazaki soundtracks are hard to find and with the $70 price tag worth it. I got into collecting cassettes and they specialize in a big selection of Japanese City Pop and various compilations.

Al's records across the way has a nice selection of vinyl and 45's. It's a total blast from the Ave past from the early 2000's. I heard it's the same owner and a very nice curated selection at both shops.

Then I got a set of smaller plush toys that were also known as sale! They have some shirts, bags, and other accessories! I wish I could buy everything! The attendant was super nice and helpful!

We walked in the front door and there were groups of people playing board games and video games. Not a single person looked up to greet us, or even acknowledge us. They continued to play their games and ignored us. We stood there for a few minutes waiting to see if anyone would even LOOK in our direction to no avail. We looked around, didn't see many board games for sale, still not a single person said hello. I looked at him, he looked at me, and we promptly left. I will never go here again. I have never in my life walked into a game store and felt so unwelcome! It's great to have a place to play games and all that jazz, but I really think the employees should be able to stop playing a game for a moment and work on at least saying hello to their customers... I would rather travel over to Queen Anne or Greenwood.. Or heck, REDMOND if I have to for a look at their board games/card games. Save yourself the awkward trip and go elsewhere.
