Retro Gaming VT — Local services in Newport City

I’ll start with this, on opening day I came in and bought gta v and assassins creed IV black flag, assassins creed only had disc two. But While I will admin that the prices are great when it comes to buying, selling and trading in is a whole different world, I tried selling my copy of skylanders imaginators for the Nintendo switch, I stated that it’s was going for $100-$150 at the time in the current condition (loose) and the answer was that “it seem like a common and cheap game and I don’t want it”. I think, okay whatever I don’t really need to get rid of it anyway. Couple of months later (about a month ago at the time I’m writing this) I tried to sell about half of the Call of duty franchise and some other games (I don’t remember which exactly) along with a like new copy of tears of the kingdom. The offer I got was 40 dollars for all of it, I tried to get a bit more by stating that I can go trade in tears of the kingdom alone at GameStop and get more and the answer was “welp, that’s not what it’s worth at my store” which explains why everything is very well priced to buy. I ended up walking away with all my games in hand, going to GameStop and getting $250 dollars in cash for it. So just know that this business is lucky to be open considering that the owner will scam you and lie to your face about prices while your actively looking at the sold eBay listings and then be told that that’s what it’s worth in his store, which is complete bs considering that will 20 bucks in gas and a trip to Littleton and get 5-6 times more than the 10-15% trade in rate at this scummy business. All in all, I do not recommend buying from or selling to this place no matter how good the prices are to buying something, they give 5x less then GameStop who is notorious for horrible trade in prices.

Just go to Walmart or go on eBay instead.

Not to mention that if you do trade it in you have to wait all day to maybe the next day to sell it because you have to leave it with him until he “tests” it for 15 minutes, which is bs since I got a game that doesn’t...

I sent a review on Facebook that was one star and I did the exact same thing on my other account (the other one star review) and it seems I’ve been blocked from the stores facebook page. I feel that the owner is putting off any problems and just blocking those you leave bad reviews to keep a good reputation, and while yes I got a response on the google review I left, all that happened was the owner denying what happened and saying that he has the receipt, which he doesn’t since no transactions occurred. Lastly the end of the response was rather sarcastic and rude saying that “I guess it was worth the 20 bucks in gas” after denying the fact that GameStop gave me 5x more, he offered 50 in cash, and GameStop offered 250 in cash. Which since I actually seem to have the trait needed to run a cash register and a calculator (math skills) I can tell you that I got 5 times more money at GameStop, or over 6 times if I talk about his original offer of 40 dollars credit. Not to mention the trade in percents, Retro Gaming VT offered me 10-15 percent depending on cash or credit (despise saying they don’t, and then saying 35%, which is still insanely low) and GameStop offered over 50% credit and 70% cash at the expense of of not taking some games and bombarding you to get GameStop pro, which I would rather deal with than get completely lowballed on something that I actively know is wort significantly more than I’m being “offered”(lowballed).

So don’t try to deny it, and anyone buying, do whatever cuz the prices ARE low for buying, but just know that someone got scammed out of a lot of what it’s worth to get to...

He offers thousands of games across several different platforms and with numerous pieces of memorabilia. The customer service is great, he is always recommending video games and dealing with my indecisiveness. The prices are fair for most story games and very good for most sports games. I got a copy of 2K for $8 when it would’ve been 2 to 3 times the price elsewhere. I have yet to sell stuff to him, which he buys for 35% the sale value, which is an improvement from getting rid of it. The selection of games is wide, many obscure games and most of the big name ones as well. If you want a PS4 or PS4 game then this seems to be the widest variety nearby, and for consoles such as the 3DS or Atari, he is by far the best supplier I...
