My dude and I have been scouring Alabama for secondhand game shops. I used to live in this area and remembered this place from several years ago - so I suppose if they are still in business after ~7 years, they are doing something right?
They have a very wide selection of DVDs and games, specifically ones for older generation consoles. A lot of times, in stores like this, you see a lot of the "junk" games - multiple copies of games that just never sold very well. This place at least kept these to a minimum, but some of the prices I saw on GBA and DS games were a little ridiculous.
Initially we were intrigued by the front and center signs that said, "Buy 2 get 1 free on all pre-played games." Given that we were looking at old Genesis and SNES games, we figured those were of course pre-played. When we got up to the register, however, the cashier informed us that the deal only applied to XBox and PS2 games... I double checked, and this specification was not indicated on any of the signs advertising the deal. Furthermore, one of the signs actually specified "ALL" pre-played games were buy 2 get 1 free. However, the guy went ahead and gave us the discount for some reason, which knocked about $4 off the price. I want to praise this as good customer service but we would have never asked to get a deal off something if there wasn't a sign about it in the first place. Surely they aren't using these signs to lure people into the store. Surely.
Also, I couldn't help but notice that there were more dudes eating pizza behind the counter than there were customers in the store. I feel like that image speaks for this place on its own. read more
