We decided, after buying a new home, that we would turn the finished basement into the game room…read more. We debated a home theater down there. We debated a second living area, then we thought about it, we dont' have kids, and we really aren't huge movie buffs... so maybe we should have a fun basement for when we have some friends over, or those cold winter snowy nights where sitting outside isn't a reality , and you're sick of TV.
So we headed over to RR Games. I wanna preface this by saying I've driven by this store for 4 years when I worked in Douglassville. Never stopped by, but really should have.
The place is insanely cool. Tons of games, pinball machines, arcade machines, pool tables, skee ball(!!!), foosball , bubble hockey, old boardwalk style (Love tester) machines, it was just cool. Tons of small decor items you can add as well. Just a very cool place.
We wandered around for awhile, and were met by Gerri Lea (according to our receipt). She answered a lot of questions for us (we initially only went to look), and noticed when we had stumbled upon a floor model in the rear of the shop. She told us the original price(a quick google search revealed many online places were selling for that price), and that the reason it was marked down was it was the last one left, and we would not be able to get our choice of felt. We liked the color of felt enough that was on it to not pay for the upgrade.
Here's the kicker. Usually I hate upsells.From everything starting at French fries all the way up to sports packages on cars. I hate when I find one thing, and the seller shows me better things that I could have for "only a little bit more". Not here. She showed us the included package and each upgraded package. Noting what individual prices would be buying it all separately. (Again, a quick google search revealed their prices were pretty in line), and it made sense for us to do the upgrade to get the better table cover(we have cats who would make short work of the felt), 4 cues instead of 2, the better racks, the bridge, etc. It was all stuff we would have bought piecemeal, but instead it all came with the table for a fair price! We wound up getting the ping pong conversion kit as well for the top of the table as the price was right.
We will be back. We will be adding air hockey and skeeball at the end of winter , and who knows what else.
Definitely come here first , and dont come just looking, because you'll be leaving with what you were looking at.
One quick side note. I had my table delivered today. Delivery guys were super nice. Accommodating the fact we had pets made sure to keep the doors closed, and not open up the doors we asked them not to, in order to keep both they , and our pets safe. Table was set up in the area I asked them too, but they modified it by a few inches because of shooting angles, and made sure I was ok with it.
TOtal experience was an A+ with RR Games.
