Electronics Flip — Attraction in Lyndhurst

WOW is this place a complete joke, I would be extremely surprised if this place is open two years from now, scratch that I will be shocked if it even makes it another year. To put this in perspective I was born and grew up in the 80's so basically the first generation to grow up with a PC in the home and through all these years I have never had an experience that was bad enough or that spectacular to feel the need to jump online and write a review (don't know what that says about my life lol) but this place is such a joke I think people deserve to know that they should expect a horrible experience prior to driving there.

My first issue was minor but a couple items I was looking to trade in were large so I called in advance and let them know that in no way shape or form was I expecting an exact quote over the phone but rather just wanted them to give me the courtesy of telling me if 2 of the items I was considering hauling up there were even something they would consider buying but they refused to even do that.

I should have known I was in for a horrible experience when I walked in the door and the two employees were sitting there laughing making fun of the guy who just left because he didn't want to accept the $8 trade offer for a set of decent speakers he was trying to trade in. I looked around the store while waiting to bring in a couple items for quote to trade them in and couldn't believe the prices they had on the majority of products- they were ridiculously overpriced. They were charging $200-$300 for junky looking televisions around 32'' inches. They had beat up outdated stereo receivers that were also way overpriced averaging $200+. With what they were charging I figured hell maybe they give in a decent trade value - LMFAO NOPE!!! I had a barely used 32'' inch flat screen tv that was literally used for around 3 weeks originally around $375 that was still selling online at a few places for around $200 used and $275 new...THIS DUDE HAD THE NERVE TO SERIOUSLY OFFER ME $2 for the TV, that isn't a typo, he offered $2. I had nice set of again barely used beats headphones going around $100 used and this dude again had the nerve to offer me $6. Finally I had a brand new Sony surround system brand new in the box originally around $450 and I was blown away with the generous offer I received for $20 - not quite as bad as the other two items but still a joke. I didn't expect much for the DVD's I was trying to get rid of but they will give you $0.10 per DVD. Needless to say I laughed in the dudes face and walked out.

So I went to CASHLAND in Garfield heights and I got $60 for the TV, $60 for the stereo system, $45 for the Headphones and I at least got $.25 per DVD. So I think you can see the difference in the two companies, which is sorta sad that a place that really focuses on Loans blows away a place specializing in used Electronics. So instead of getting what would have amounted to $38 for the 3 main items I had plus the DVDs I traded in at this place I wound up with $190 at CASHLAND...quite a big difference.

Maybe if the workers weren't such condescending jerks who make fun of their customers right in front of other customers you might be able to find a deal on something there if you go through everything but I highly doubt it and I obviously suggest staying far far away.

Any positive reviews must be from the...

I was excited to go an check out the new store in the area for Retro Games. The up side is they have a pretty large, varied selection of new and old games and consoles. Also huge selections of accessories and controllers. The bad is the prices are grabbed straight off the high side of eBay in most cases, from what I can tell. I understand the need to make money and support the overhead, but I'm just not willing to overpay that much to support brick-and-mortar. Customer service was decent.

Update: Went into the store for the first time in a month or two. Was disappointed to see most of the same overpriced inventory that was there when I wrote this review a long time ago was still hanging around. Didn't see much new stuff. But, if you need cheap Chinese controllers, cheap USB cables, or small odds and ends for your game collection this is still a good...

I am kind of disappointed, went past this place decided to stop in was looking for a remote for my fire TV. I asked the guy he gave me a suggestion of a fire TV controller that I purchased. When I got it home I could not get it to connect looked it up and found out that it was discontinued 7 years ago and that it cannot be connected. I took it back the next day replaced it for a PS4 controller brought it home connected it, perfect. Within 2 hours the battery went dead I went to plug it in it will not charge. I drove to this place twice do they or do they not check the equipment out before they sell it very disappointed cute little place employee all that I encountered were very friendly but very...
