Owner scammed me as a kid in 2012, told me my PSP was unfixable and scrap from water damage. He gave me 10 dollars for it. Came back the next day and it was on the floor listed for 140$. (I knew the PSP was mine because I made a unique scratch on the bottom only I would know)
I never been rubbed the wrong way like that before and haven't since. I don't see how a owner of a gaming business could scam children. The older I grow, the more I realize how evil this guy really is.
(This is an honest review, and it DID happen. He always changes locations because he does stuff like this. He'll lie about the condition of the console and then sell it behind your back. I will remember this forever. I was a really poor kid and I cried for months about that PSP. It was years till I got another console. I even made a cardboard one and acted like it worked.)
Edit- Owner Replied, yes I am 100% certain that this is the correct store. Sorry I waited 12 years, I was a child and you left me an awful memory to have. I was looking at Game Stores and saw you relocated again so I figured I'd warn others about my experience here. Retro Games used to be located in Cleveland 2012, than it moved to Clermont in 2013 and now it's in Gainesville I guess. Maybe his policies changed over the years, but regardless he scammed me when I...
Read moreEdit: dishonest business, have bought multiple systems and games, had games with cases covered in mold along with disc, and systems that have never been tried before. Does not clean ANYTHING before selling, except maybe rubbing muck off a disc. Consoles and controllers covered in muck, and trying to sell handheld consoles for premium price that do not hold a charge. I know you have to make money, but at least fix what you're trying to sell, I know you probably bought it for 30 bucks just to throw a $100 to $200 price tag on it. turning it on and making sure it works I shouldn't even have to mention. This place gets busy, so hire someone else to do it all for you. I guess don't fix it if it ain't broke applies because people love this place, but that's because they don't realize it's not worth it.
Edit: the owner is lying in the...
Read moreMy husband encouraged me to go to this store. I haven't played with my Wii in a number of years, but stepping inside the store, I was immediately inspired to blow the dust off my console and prepare for sore thumbs again. I was impressed by the selection, even more impressed by the prices, and then was blown away by the incredible service. I wish I knew the gentleman's name, but he is amazing! He's very knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant. We found our store! I wish this small business TONS of success and I hope to see them expand. It's refreshing to have such a great business in...
