Mr Dealz — Local services in Town of Colonie

Great selection of movies, old game boy and Nintendo games, systems, etc. It's a really great place to have in the area. I saw some old Nintendo games I had since forgotten about and was thinking next time I'm in the area I'll go back and buy them.

But, the man was very rude to my friend and me. I was just looking at all the different titles available on dvd. My friend was browsing and scanning the some of the barcodes on the DVDs with his phone to see if they were worth buying to resell on eBay. He's hardly a dealer, but anyway.

The guy accosted my friend and told him we don't sell to pickers, and after a couple minutes basically screamed at both of us like we were there to rip him off and told us to leave. He said "you think I don't know what you're doing?!" I guess I was guilty by association but I wasn't doing anything wrong, just browsing. No other customers were in there for the whole hour we were there. You would think he would be grateful to have somebody in the store. A customer is a customer. And dude, you sell dvds in bulk, if you know what he's doing then you do that too, and don't sell them 5 for 10.

I have run a small business for 20 years. After a while you learn not to nitpick who is allowed to be a customer as long as they're a paying customer.

I loved the selection and great price for DVDs, 5 for $10. I wasn't planning on making a purchase today as this was my first time going there, and I was just looking, but now I likely won't go back.

Minus 3 stars for...

Shadiest local game store.

Asked to buy a game in the case marked $20. The sticker was on the back of the cartridge visible from under the glass shelf. The employee brought it up to the counter while the owner motioned over to him to look at his computer (I imagine looking it up online to tell him how to price it). The employee then proceeded to “clean” the cartridge, then told me it was $49. I mentioned the $20 sticker and he just said “there’s no sticker on here” (since he had wiped it off right in front of me)

I get that a store like this has a lot of inventory, and the market price on games can fluctuate faster than they might be able to keep up with. A simple sign explaining their policy, or just a “please ask for pricing on games behind glass”. Or just be upfront and tell me it was mislabeled instead of using sleight of hand and straight up disrespecting me by lying to my face. I ended up ordering the same game online for $25. It wasn’t worth what they were asking. I have visited this store before and know they’ve been sitting on much of the same inventory for years, including the game I wanted today. No idea how they’ve stayed in...

I've been to many retro gaming stores in the north east region. Mr Dealz by far as the largest inventory and quantity of games on hand that I've ever seen in person. Twice the size of usual retro gaming stores located in the NYC area. Mr Dealz also had quite a bit of retro vintage audio equipment, which I love. There was on item in particular that I've been hunting for, so I asked if he had a Sega Master System Light Phaser available, and he actually had it. I've had very bad luck trying to find a Master System lightgun even online, but Mr Dealz had it readily available and very decently priced based on current market value. You will not find any over priced nonsense here. If a game is worth a certain price, he sells it for what its currently worth and I respect that a lot because online prices are often becoming extremely over priced for certain games. That is impressive and by far the best retro gaming store I've been to in NY state. You will get plenty of great retro gaming deals at Mr Dealz that you can't find online.
