Destine Fantasy Games — Local services in Alameda

Clean shop, seems like they have plenty of inventory. Then you notice they sell Black Bolt/White Flare ETBs at $120.. okay….. then you notice everything isn’t even “market”, it’s all 30-50% over market. Still awaiting for a solid card shop in Alameda/Berkeley/Oakland area. Seems like Roseville, Sacramento & San Jose gets all the good ones. Only redeeming quality is it’s more organized than the other shops on the island, then you realize they’re all pretty awful.

This means that either Destinee Games is getting product at distribution price and making 100-400-% profit or they are buying items at market price and bumping them up 20-50% over market. Both of which are poor practices.

Actually just realized from older photos the shop used to be cleaner and even more organized...

PLEASE SOMEONE OPEN A CARD SHOP IN ALAMEDA THAT ISNT OVERPRICED, UNORGANIZED, HORRIBLE EGOS.. It's absolutely crazy how AMAZING shops are in San Jose and...

The store is cool and the employees are helpful which is why it got 3 stars. I am a brand spanking new magic player and I paid the 8$ to just sit there cause everyone else was in their own groups of people they know. I stayed for about 2 hours and I was not able to get into a pod, so I left. If you are new to the game this place is a little more intimidating. I will come back to this store when I have a little more experience. Some of the more experienced players even made fun of the swisher box I carried my cards in. D20 on park st is a little more beginner friendly as people invited me into their pod as soon...

Run events well. We've had a blast there. The owner quickly learned what I come in for and flags me down if he got something new lol.

They do tend to follow market trend when it comes to pricing but have still gotten pretty good deals. I'm not going to blame the LGS for market inflation; you should blame the scalpers. Just look at FB...
