I've done a lot of business with this shop over the past two years and have sold what I estimate to…read morebe well over $3,000 worth of cards and collectibles. I understand any card shop needs to make a profit, but I was disappointed with the buy offers I received. In my experience, many offers were around 30 to 50 percent of what the same cards or merchandise was later listed for in the store. (I go there frequently) Especially for higher-value cards, that difference felt significant. Everyone's experience may be different, but mine left me feeling like my collection wasn't valued as fairly as I'd hoped. I sold a hand full of grail cards and consoles and knick nack related stuff to them. BUT. Because of that, I'd encourage anyone looking to sell cards or collectibles to shop around and get quotes from multiple stores before accepting an offer. Personally, I would check other shops first and only consider selling here as a last resort. I genuinely hope the shop continues to do well, but I also hope they consider making their buy list process more transparent and competitive... Shop around before coming here. That's my experience.

I was really impressed with the card side of this shop. They have a great selection, and their…read moreprices on both packs and boxes are fair. With the hobby booming, a lot of card shops seem to be overcharging, but this one doesn't. When I brought in some cards, they told me to hold on to my Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck rookie and my complete sealed inaugural set instead of selling them. That kind of honesty is rare. Highly recommend for collectors and anyone trying to figure out what they have.

It's very nicely set up, the staff is friendly and welcoming and it's overall a great vibe! We walked in and were given a table but soon enough they had to start turning people away so I would suggest a reservation on the weekends! It is pretty pricey but I'm okay with that for the experience and atmosphere there :) I painted a vase and my daughter painted a corgi and it was $100 before tax. There is a sitting fee for each person painting and then you choose your piece you want to paint which has its own price tag. There is so much to choose from I am sure anyone can find something in their budget! I personally really like the way they provide paint cups of the 5 colors you choose ( I think if you asked nicely they might let you have another color if you started painting and realized you needed another color). So it's not like we need painting trays or anything like at other paint studios! I can't wait to pick up our pieces after the glazing! We will be back to paint more treasures!

Reverberation is an unusual record store. I've never seen so many records in one place from…read moreartists/bands I don't recognize, but at the same time, I've spotted some very obscure stuff in the experimental and jazz sections, so I wonder if they cater to people with a taste for lesser known music. At least for the styles I shop for (jazz, experimental, electronic), this store is full of strange, unknown things. I like how they have a special section for deluxe horror movie soundtracks (think Waxwork Records, Mondo, and the like). I also appreciate how you never know what kind of weird thing you'll find there (like an old DJ Krush Mo Wax 10" for a reasonable price). My main complaint is the difficulty of browsing. First, the record bins in the main area are so high that you need a stool to see the furthest back albums unless you're decently over 6' tall. The store has stools sitting around for just this purpose. Second, the bins are completely packed, so there's no flipping through records. You have to grab a chunk, set them aside, and then you can brows. It makes digging a real pain and is one of the reasons Reverberations isn't in my regular rotation. Some have written about the owner being rude. I didn't find him rude, but yeah, he doesn't usually say hello or goodbye or look you in the eye when you check out. Definitely not the gregarious type you find at a place like Exile in Champaign, but I never got a rude vibe. Maybe he's more effusive and warm if you're a regular. If browsing wasn't such a pain, I'd give it four stars. Any record shop that continues to exist is a good thing. Certainly worth checking out if you're in the area.

Friendly owner, ample parking, and an incredible array of new and used records. Items are priced to move not gouge the customers, and conditions are exact. And what's crazy is the depth of the inventory. Really, this store is stacked. Local collectors are lucky to have Reverberation as one of their brick and mortars. Highly recommend!
