I did trade some things in and always felt like I got far less than what I should have, but didn't say anything because I needed the stuff gone and figured it was an opportunity to get the things I wanted for less.

My man and I are both gamers and collectors. So, when my fiance had a bad day, I wanted to take him…read moreout to Game Gurus for a shopping trip to cheer him up. This was our first time out here, so I had no idea what to expect. It's located in a small strip mall and is easy to miss if you're not keeping a good eye out. When I walked in I was pleasantly surprised to see how nicely the games were displayed, especially the carts that don't typically come with a box. Here they make a box and store any game over $15 behind the counter with the box only on display. It made browsing a lot easier. However, it was hard to tell where you were and weren't allowed to walk. I had to ask about where the PS1 games were. Granted, there was a small sign indicating this fact, but very, very easy to miss. The selection of games for older systems was quite nice, especially those that were rarer and CIB. I also liked that you could touch the original boxes of those games. The retro consoles and handhelds were pretty nice as well. I managed to grab an Atari Lynx for my handheld collection! There were also a lot of modded consoles available that I don't know much about. However, I did see a modded Nintendo GameCube that I wanted BAD. PS1 selection wasn't that impressive--but it's all about what they get in, right? Service was okay. The guy there seemed a little aloof and tired. And it seemed a little trickier than it should have been to find the games associated with the boxes. However, I'm chalking it up to being almost closing time by the time we checked out. Some things I didn't love were that some Nintendo 64 controllers they have for sale have aftermarket cords. This isn't reflected on the packaging and aren't cheap at $45ish each. Also, while the organization of this place made for a great shopping experience, the checkout process was slow, and seemingly painstaking for the employee. There were two games he couldn't even find even though the boxes were out on the sales floor. Overall, I'd come back to shop but not super often because it's a little out of the way for us.

The Game Over staff are friendly and helpful. Their Tacoma Mall store is closer to me and this was…read morethe first time at their Bellevue store. Besides used items, they stocked new third party accessories, soundtrack albums, and gaming related items like toys. Prices are comparable to others locally and online. I found certain used accessories to be less expensive than online comps and picked up an Xbox controller headset adapter yesterday at a good price. I enjoy that both stores have mini gaming museums. My only negative is the large amount of games without original packaging on the shelves. A couple of sections were a sea of white with hand written names. It feels like a lot of filler and not a pleasant browsing experience.

My fiance and I went in here when it first opened. We live nearby and were really excited that a…read morenew gaming store was opening up close to us, and figured we would give it a shot. 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.

The back of the store had plenty of pinball machines, basketball machine, and other fun arcade games too. The prices are generally good as they do have a lot of older games. The employees were busy helping customers and ensuring all questions or concerns were addressed. They were very professional and patient.

Look, you are NOT going to get eBay money selling your stuff to a reseller, no matter where you go. They want to make money off your stuff, it's a business.

So don't expect that. okay rant over. Overall, the selection was pretty good, I did manage to get a decent trade in value and got myself a new modern console, so that was a win. I also got great customer service, they treated me nicely, and I didn't feel that bad, given what I got. Again, you can go to eBay and list things, and make more money.

This Texas girl was happy to be back here as I found some really great gems while digging here. Pricing here is fair but I was not expecting to really come under what I wanted to spend here because I was able to find a few albums I had on my Discogs Want List at half price. One of the records I was able to find was an early 1990's copy of a Beastie Boys LP. I held on to that record so tight as I continued my browsing. I was able to walk out with an early pressing of Pacific Northwesterners / riot grrl band Sleater-Kinney. I took so good care of these records as I flew back with them to bring them home with me to Austin. Staff here was friendly and super cool. I saw several people come in to sell things and they navigated that sale with checking me out super efficiently. The area was cool to hop around too. Thanks for the fun browsing! I will definitely be back when I am back up this way again.
