GamerZ Paradise — Local services in Joppatowne

Decided to stop in on a Friday since I had off and was in the area. For games, they have just about everything you would want and alot of hard to find titles (i.e. Mighty Final Fight, Lufia, Secret of Evermore, etc.) They have everything laid out nice and easy to find. But, their prices are high. I asked about Super Metroid and the price was $54.95. I know it goes for alot less (at least in the 35-45 range) so I wondering why jack up the price. I asked the guy working there what he uses to base his prices off and he said ebay (I'm hoping sold listings). Of course, no prices on the boxed games and he has to look up each one but again, it's a business so just don't buy it if you really don't want it. I ended up picking up a few NES fillers I needed. I did ask about trade-ins but honestly, I really don't know what the trade-in value will be. Overall, it's a cool store and just great to walk through and look at everything but I probably won't make a special trip all the...

Honestly, I've been taken advantage of when purchasing things and they haven't been honest to me in the past when buying things here. One such example was buying a Wii U at this store, it was still complete in box with what I assumed with be everything. It didn't include everything and they didn't mention that. I had also asked if the digital game was still included with it, they couldn't bother to give me a straight answer to my question.

I will say that they have a large collection here, much larger than other stores. But you have to be careful about how you're buying things here, along with selling games to them.

Update July 30th 2023, Went in and overheard a sale of a PSvita 2000 where they didn't have a charging cable to give the customer for the system they were buying. The owner cut $5 off of the price of the handheld. I personally don't think the store should have had the system available for sale without being able to...

The prices were a little on the high side, but they had a pretty good selection. Lot's of fun / rare retro stuff on display on the top shelf, but not for sale. I stood at the counter squinting at the items on the wall for about ten minutes while the staff member cleaned some carts right in front of me. He never asked if I needed any help or had any questions. There was nobody else in the store, so it's not like he was busy. He was just not very custom service oriented. Finally, another staff member stopped by and instead of acknowledging me, they just complained about the owner or manager or something. Finally, I just asked him for the prices of a few items. He answered by calling me boss or big guy or something equally condescending. I left. I'd driven almost an hour to get there and was ready to do some shopping. Very poor service experience, I wont be going out of...
