Mom's Basement Games — Local services in Howell

Anonymous. Review went to moms basement games to look for some ps2 games was slightly disappointed thinking it was going to be a bigger retro game store. And larger selections. But game prices aren’t too bad. Just really wished there was more consoles and games. Slightly disappointed. Because a couple consoles like the NES and SEGA genesis they were selling seemed slightly overpriced mostly the NES honestly people think just because it has the nintendo name you can upcharge $40 is a little ridiculous who knows what has been done to the console . no disrespect to them. They look clean on the outside but who knows if they have ever been opened up and cleaned from the inside out. Honestly they should just stick to them magic cards or pokemon stuff because it seems the retro game sales you should just leave to the professionals no offense it makes gamestop retro look like kings compared to this place and you can find refurbished genesis 1 consoles for 60 dollars probably anywhere else rather than paying 20 or 30 bucks more than what...

i went in looking for GBA pokemon games, immediately saw their collection and was pretty sure they were selling bootlegs and after inspecting some i saw that they indeed were, every single generation 3 game i saw was a bootleg, i dont know how to identify bootlegs if earlier generations as well but the collection they had of gen 1 & 2 games was pretty big and for games that were 30 years old they were all in almost perfect condition with not a scratch on them, 99% sure they all were fake too. i explained to the employee why they were fake and i don’t think he knew or was trying to be dishonest or anything but given every single game in that case was a bootleg i can only assume the owner is just trying to flip bootlegs as authentic to unknowingly customers. please stay far far away from this shop this behavior is truly disgusting and it’s a shame it’s one of the only game/card shops in my town. idk if the owner reads these reviews but if you are i hope you sleep well at night i guess,...

Worst pricing I’ve ever seen in a card store. Practically double the market prices. No reason for a market $70 Pokemon GO ETB to be sold for $100.

Edit: I previously had 1 star on this place, but I have visited a few times since. I still believe that the pricing on many of the things here are far too high, however I bumped up my review because I think they are pretty negotiable with their singles compared to the other places around. I will say, however, that you should definitely look up the prices on the cards before making a deal, because I’ve noticed lots of cards with very outdated prices.

Overall, the staff is wonderful. I just think the pricing could...
