LVL 1 Gaming Lake Charles — Attraction in Lake Charles

If I could give this place a zero star, I would. I give this place a one star because their customer service is excellent. The workers are kind and welcoming. What removes the other 4 stars are their business practices. I came into their store wanting to support a local card shop and I left without spending a penny. When a local starts to sell at a scalper's market price, they become scalpers themselves. Yes, I understand they're a business. Yes, I understand this is their livelihood. Yet, I know that some of their business tactics are greedy. I think they'll create cognitive dissonance to dispute this fact. That's okay. Because in due time, the results will show in their eventual collapse and failure. That is unless they grow beyond their old ways.

I do believe that they are a good business, but their insidious greed will be their undoing. I just hope they can grow and continue to be a better beacon for the lake Charles...

This place is charging on average 30% above market value on their Pokemon products for example they were selling a chase card that wasn’t even mint or NM for $50 over the market value of that card so I went in there to see how they treated the people that they bought the cards from being they were taxing so hard I figured they must be paying them a fair price so I brought them 4 graded cards 3 9’s and 1 10 with a total market value of $147 I checked it 3 minutes before I walked into the store you won’t believe what the man offered me for those cards…..5 bucks $5 that’s like 97% below market value these people are robbing you both ways stay away don’t sell your cards there and certainly don’t buy...

Unfortunately, since there's no place to review the Lafayette store, I have to put this here.

The manager was absolutely rude and pretentious when all I asked was "How much is the big Snorlax" His response? "Expensive" How hard is it to answer a question without a comeback? And to assume someone's price point off the bat? Not to mention admitting to be a scalper for plushies. That's messed up, bro. Especially upcharging an originally $50 plush to $75. I get you need to make more money than you buy it for, but a $25 upcharge? Nah. I would've said screw it and gotten the Snorlax regardless because I'm a collector, but your attitude will have me never shopping...
