Polyhedron Gamestore — Local services in Oro Valley

I found it distasteful that the clerk internet speculated a price instead of one being posted on the product, it was a used book- it was highest price he could poke around for quickly.

I recognize the inherent business need for a profit, and that your store deserves to thrive(when I romanticize it as the vague and hypothetical beloved geek store I’ve bonded with as a consumer since the 90s).

I’m going to take the 300$ price tag the young man drummed up on the spot and spend it on a distributor with the integrity it takes to lead with the price and to at least allow me to understand I’m shopping on eBay before spending any fuel to get to an individual retail location.

I went specifically to a real store because I hold obnoxious, moralist, beliefs about spending money consciously and supporting the vendors who distribute one of my most treasured hobbies(some of whom may even have a profit margin target vaguely related to the original cost of obtaining the goods- take the magic cards keeping the doors open, they’re an excellent example of the construct I’m suggesting as a possible template for what a “fair” deal might look like-structured, and free of anything that could land as deceptive to the consumer)

I don’t dispute your right to ask any price you wish, just the overtures involved with blatantly using a dousing rod to decide a price in front of me.

If I have no assurance that you wouldn’t turn around and offer it to the next guy for less(which you should, it’s been there a year and you’re asking too much for it imo) then I have no confidence that it’s an unintentional gouge and not related to the composition of my face or some other bias.

Pricing is a contextual clue to your consumers that you're just gatekeeping an out of print book and not being a personalized jerk. I should be able to resolve the internal question of “is this greed or am I in the wrong place?” right there in that moment, and daring to state the values of your goods as stable from person to person, is a piece of evidence that felt missing to me.

Also the internet’s cheaper when you’re not searching by the highest price. I’ll support the places that operate with even a shred more dignity, a stranger online for instance- who doesn’t even know the product they are selling and will contribute nothing to the local community I’m in, but will give it to any stranger willing to pay its set price(all this hypothetical person knows is the books are old and dnd is hot right now), is a step up imo

I came to shop, got some sort of internet pricing speculation, confidence game sort of thing instead.

Never again polyhedral, this experience sucked enough.

That’s enough uppity from me, anyway,...

Hello all. Wanted to bring a concern that a lot of us in the AZ community are having, and with the help of the entire lorcana community, we make sure this doesn’t happen again, or to anyone else. The biggest concern for the AZ community is that the owner of said store, also is the admin for our biggest az lorcana group. He is deleting everything related to what they did. Polyhedron Games and specifically their owner, and plotted and succeeded in hijaking a championship. They did not allow any out side participates into their store before the tournament began. A father and his 8 year old son drove all the way from California to play, just for them to tell them it was full and capped They “faked” attendance to make the tournament fire. As you see, all the people they told they were full and turned away, WERE actually registered. And they used them as a “no show”. Their tournament with all 3 rounds completed was done in 1.2 hrs. That is just not possible. Owner and coworker took home the mats, and their highest points league members got the other two stitches. This is clearly cheating, not helping the community in any way, and a clear lack of wanting to face competition. It’s straight up theft. Anyone else who witnessed this is encouraged to contact Ravensberger asap. I have photos and statements with a screenshot from melee and several names who are listed came to play and he told them it was full with only 8 there so this man turned down 12-16 players in a kids card game to profit for himself with cards given to him for the tournament. He's gonna claim I and 1000 others are wrong be glad to answer any questions about it I will provide you with any information you'd like just contact. As you see below he continues to deny and play dumb but everything...

First off, I highly recommend Polyhedron Gamestore. As an out of state magic player, I find this place to be the best game store in Tucson and I’ve been by all of them. The owner is a really nice guy, super personable and a lot fun to chat with. He even stayed open much later than advertised (past midnight) and chatted with me. As a night owl, I love the late hours this place offers. The magic crowd is great, with lots of friendly players that know how to have a good time. Play varies from entry level to top end competitors, so there’s a good chance you’ll find someone in your skill range to play with. New players are very welcomed and will get advice and deck techs if they seek it. The space seems small but it’s decieving, with room for at least 40 players. They have a great selection of magic singles and sealed product as well as sleeves and other card storage. The owner takes trades (at a very fair value) and even has a guy that can do high quality acrylic alters at a very fair price point. Soda fountain and snacks are available, but like any game store, if you stay for half the day be prepared to go out for food.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I felt like I walked into my LGS back in Oregon, which was really nice. I was welcomed and got into an EDH game within 2 minutes of walking into the store! This place does things right and 100% deserves your business. I won’t go anywhere else in Tucson to play magic, even though this is a 30+ minute drive from my...
