Games of Livermore — Local services in Livermore

I've tried to give this place a fair shake many time since they opened in April. Every time I was pretty disappointed in their pricing for magic commander decks specifically. I always want to support local game shops when I can and I understand if they charge a little bit more than online retailers would. The 2 most recent examples were the following I wanted to buy the tricky terrain deck for my friends birthday online it was selling for $40 so I came in expecting it to sell for $50-60 which I would happily pay. Instead they were selling it for $80 which is twice as much and I wasn't willing to go that high For Christmas I wanted to buy "Hail Cesar" another commander deck and they were selling it for $70 when it retailed for $35-40 online. And the pricing labels were recent too some from the same month I was trying to buy them. I've left this store disappointed 4 times already so I might not come back as it seems they try to make a profit on people's lack of knowledge in pricing for items. My 1 positive thing I can say is they have a great selection and their shelves are always stocked. Though it's probably because they stay on the high side of the supply and...

Mixed feelings with this place. The store is really organized. The staff were really friendly and informative. Good selection of stuff. But felt like the main guy kinda preyed on my ignorance when i was relying on his expertise. Went in there after a 5+ year hiatus of playing. Asked about what collectors boosters they would suggest if I'm looking to pull a big card. The guy basically talked me into buying dominaria remastered and outlaws of thunder junction. After a couple weeks of further learning I realized these are some of the worst value collectors boosters and are basically a guaranteed way to lose money without any chance of hitting something more than you paid. A token is a top 10 valuable pull in outlaws of thunder junction! Just seemed like he took advantage of the fact that i was relying on his knowledge to sell me junk that he wasn't having much...

Had a bad experience here for starters the 1 older guy has a lot of awkward, nervous energy. He yelled and berated this guy and this young kid because they talked about buying a card from each other. He said " You're going to have to leave or get kicked out because we don't make any money off that". Strange but ok

Than another guy named Joe showed up later I bought around 50$ worth of their bulk cards. I found a few more when I went to pay for them he up charged 4$. I hope it was worth it I'm never coming back...
