These types of stores tend to be on the unorganized side, but GOOD LORD this place was meticulously arranged for what it is. Retro games were ALPHABETIZED. I was in heaven. It's fun just to poke around in this place, as opposed to other used gaming or second hand stores where it's basically all a jumble like some sadistic treasure hunt. Prices are fair. Obviously you're not going to get eBay-type prices, but this goes for any physical store selling items like this. Core Gaming's prices are very fair when compared to other stores of this type. I love searching around in bargain bins of N64 games and things like that, and this place had well organized bargain bins. WELL ORGANIZED BARGAIN BINS. That sounds like an oxymoron, but I assure you it is not. The location is good. The parking lot can be a bear to get in and out of at certain times of day, but I assure you that this is the fault of the city of Salem NH and not of Core Gaming.

Even if you're not into Pokémon, they have an impressive selection of trading cards, from sports to Magic: The Gathering and more. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just getting started, this shop is a gem. Highly recommend!

What's even crazier, is that during said events, you're never pressured to buy anything. How do they make a profit? I'm not sure either. But it seems like their business model is more along the lines of providing a space that makes people feel happy and welcome and then worrying about that finance stuff later. Seriously though, the place is super welcoming and patient with nerds of all types. Whether you're dipping your toes into nerd culture or want to dive in face first, they've had an answer and anecdote for nearly every geeky genre that has ever pique a nerd's interest. Highly recommend the D&D games though. They're super fun and very patient with beginner players and even welcome new walk-ins during the middle of campaigns.
