So apparently this unprofessional business owner thinks I slandered him. He was sending me harassing messages and threatening legal action. This person should not own a business....mostly because he acts like a child but partly because he doesn't know toys or prices. He couldn't tell me some pretty basic stuff. He did admit to ripping people off and I quote, " I paid $1,100 for this lot and flipped it in less than 2 hours for 4,800 to pay off my shop ahead of my 2-year contract" Now I'm not saying he did anything illegal here but he ripped people off. He could have passed the deals onto somebody else but instead he charged him full price and ripped them off. He also wanted to personally attack me by using my potential divorce against me and I quote. "Since you're so confident on my business practices, is it time I chime in on your divorce? Dang bro" nothing illegal here either. He can speak his mind. He can say whatever he wants but as a business owner I find that in poor taste. I don't find that to be a very good standard operating procedure. In fact, I think most people would agree that that's in poor taste. Honestly I feel bad for this kid. He needs some friends or love or something to help him not be such a spiteful and vengeful bad human. Be a good human. You still only get 1 star. Now let that be a...
   Read moreGreat shop in downtown Gresham that has grown/evolved nicely in the last few years. I had been in when it first opened, and it was mostly retro collectibles that were from the owner’s personal collection, high grade stuff. While those kinds of items are still very much the core of the shop, it’s grown into having a bigger selection and a more eclectic mix of things, including more recent releases to complement the older stuff. There’s a 1up arcade cabinet in the corner, and the place just has a fun vibe. Seems to be the kind of place that has lots of regular customers, which is really nice. On top of that, the owner seems like a great guy. I went in with my nephew who was visiting from out of town. He’s 15 and collects 12” GI Joes. The owner (wish I got his name) went downstairs to pull up a bunch of inventory for my nephew to check out, and gave him a really great deal on them. It made his day/visit. I really appreciate how kind he was to us, and to my nephew specifically. Looking forward to going...
   Read moreYou'd think a store called "Toy Shop" would be friendlier to families. We walked in and the owner just stood there on his phone. He eventually greeted me, but ignored my wife entirely. We were in full control of our kids and left when he told my wife "please don't let your kid rip that toy apart". Will not be returning. Update: Wow, what a passive-aggressive response. My child wasn't "wandering" the store and didn't damage your toy. He was barely touching the age-appropriate dinosaur and if you had been paying attention, they were gentle with everything they touched. If you're really that concerned about toddlers coming into a store called "toy shop" with Toy Story font, maybe you should alter your branding to better target the anti-social...
