It seems to have been recently folded into a mini-chain of music/movie/gaming stores, although the website doesn't yet show an Elyria location. (I only know of the chain from the bag and receipt.) It's a fun place, although gawd knows who in this wasteland would be shopping for a $100 first pressing of Mermaid Avenue. Well worth a visit if you're in the area, or if you are perversely fascinated by artifacts of dead, Terminator 2-era suburbia.

As a big movie buff and person that has a long history of using several different game systems, my…read morereview of The Exchange is mixed. Media stores seem to be rarer and rarer to come by these days, so when I came across this chain, I had a lot of excitement. They offer movies, games, game systems, vinyls, memorabilia, toys, electronics, and more. It's not just current media, but retro and classic media. It's a great store for a media buff. Service has always been nice and welcoming. My biggest focus on my visits have been 4k movies and steelbook. I always browse Blu-ray titles often. Each location has a different selection. Some days you'll find the titles you're looking for. Some days you'll find a gem you didn't expect to come across. Other days you'll strike out. This can cause some excitement when visiting as it's a mystery as to what you'll find. I've had some good finds for fair prices. Prices is one of the reasons for a middle of the road rating. I'm coming across used 4k movies that are priced the same or higher than I can find them brand new. This has killed a lot of the excitement in my recent visits. I've found some of the steelbooks to be priced fair, but many are overpriced by online retailer and even eBay reselling standards. If you're going to be a local store selling used items, you need to sell at reasonable prices to encourage repeat buyers. I still have my old retro game systems and do plan on looking at classic video games for the N64, Sega, Super Nintendo, and other systems. This is a great place to find games. I don't know on prices yet, but glad it's an option. The other aspect is the ability to sell or trade in media for credit. This is the other reason for the lowered rating. I've bought 4k movies that I just didn't enjoy and wanted to basically "trade up". Again, these are brand new movies watched once. You only get penny's for selling or trading in. Very disappointing to pay $15 one week and the next getting a trade in value of $4-5. I'd get more selling on Facebook marketplace and eBay, which is what I'll be doing in the future. Summing this all up, my review is very mixed. The nerd in me loves seeing what I'll come across, but the prices are far from worth it based on my movie searching experience. Online used is much cheaper.

Good audio gear repair shops in the Midwest are hard to come by, and excellent ones such as this…read moreare even more rare. Im so thankful I took my gear to them instead of shipping it off to an authorized tech in NYC. They saved me several hundred dollars and did great work in a timely manner. This was on a custom hand made dj mixer from Australia with no manual to reference mind you. The variety of different gear they are able to work on is staggering. After I found their entrance it was smooth sailing. They also back their work for 30 days so you really can't go wrong. Highly recommended.

I took in an home audio amp for repair. They had it nearly 2 months. Not one time in the entire…read moretime that they had it did they ever call me to give me any information. I would call them weekly and for the first month the response was we haven't gotten to it. Ok if work is ahead of me I accept that. because of my repeated calls I was told they would move me up on the list to have the tech make a diagnostic evaluation on it which never ever happened. Then after that it was BS about having to build some "special diagnostic software" to access the ethernet port on the back of the amplifier or equipment to make an assessment. they told me they couldn't get enough information from the manufacturer or off the Internet. I could except that for a repair are you telling me place that repairs amplifiers can't even do a general diagnostic evaluation on an amplifier for god sake?? Then finally after two months I called to just tell them I wanted to come pick up my amp and take it someplace else and their response was "we are out on the road for a week with the some band but we'll see if we can find anybody to let you in to the store so you can get your amplifier." what a joke this place is. They have no business whatsoever advertising home audio equipment repair. The only thing I got for my money was excuse after excuse about why they had done nothing and a bunch of BS. They could not even provide me a guess what might be wrong with it based upon a bench evaluation by one of their techs. It is really hard to find audio equipment repair shops nowadays as everything is disposable but I can tell you this, Pro Sound certainly isn't one of them! Stay away if you need stereo repair.

Located in a ville of sorts, this is a nice spot to just sit, sip coffee, and read or have a casual coffee date with a friend. I wish I were doing the latter. But at least there is no situation, no faux pas or facet of life that can't be improved with coffee. Barnes and Noble in Westlake is worth 4 small White Chocolate Mochas out of 5.

They have cute gift items as well, and the people are friendly. I did sell back a stack on a previous trip, and was not impressed with the buy back prices, but that's pretty much normal for consignment, and it did (temporarily) reduce the book burden in my house, which was the goal.
