There is a great selection of items to but from here. I was looking for video games and they have so many for each system from the old school to the modern consoles.The workers were fun to talk to and very friendly. They helped with recommendations and cleaning the disc as I was checking out.I will visit them again when I make my way to Dayton again.

A safe location with parking arrangements ~30 feet away? -- many convenience --An extensive inventory of appropriately priced merchandise? -- such choice --Capable, well-informed service providers who *figuratively* d r i p in honesty, integrity and authenticity? -- every knowledge --

So far so good. Nothing bad to say about this small little shop. While in this time of need and pandemic. They chose to remain open and help people like myself get by, by being able to sell items no longer needed to make a quick buck.This really helps. Seeing how i have yet to receive a single stimulus payment from the government.

The guys were friendly and polite. Instead of just selling me anything they asked what type of area I was heating and their suggestions have allowed me to heat more efficiently over previous years which without a doubt will be much kinder to my wallet. I have no furnace just very old baseboard heaters without screens. With a 5 yr old and a challenges adult who tends to hoard in his room they are a fire waiting to happen. I thought I knew what I wanted but instead I followed Traviss advice. One heater heats 3 room without working endlessly and a smaller heats two. Beats heaters in every room and have had to even turn them down and am able to turn off without those rooms freezing even when its been down in the 20s at night. 2 heaters ended up costing much less to buy than 6 but also were very reasonable in price. Honesty that isnt present in most small neighborhood stores is present in that one. This store has everything from tools, kitchen necessities, game consoles with everything that goes with them from vintage to the newest fads out there as well as impossible games to find. No need for Game Stop. I just cant say enough for what they stock as well as knowledge of the products carried. Thank you Travis you guys rock! This is my new go to spot for everything. (They even have electric guitars and amps, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, toys, air compressors, carpet kickers, saws,sanders,etc... there isnt much missing in this store).

Prices are high. Asked how much a DVD/VHS combo was and my answer was expensive. You just dont answer a potential customers question like that. As if I was a little kid that had no intentions of buying anything. Bought a retro video game and left. Probably will never shop there again.

Review №14

Great store with about anything you can think of, from hardware tools to retro consoles. Staff members are polite and professional. Came there to buy a pair of adidas shoes. I was provided information about the shoes and their authenticity. Highly recommend to any consumer to stop by and see what they have to offer.

Super friendly staff. Lots of cool stuff. Some of the prices are a bit high for second things in my mind. Take that with a grain of salt though, I may just be the typical consumer they want something for nothing.

This place is great, and the guy who works there is always ready to help you find the items you are looking for. Highly recommend shopping there.

Review №19

This is my 1st choice to buy or sell! You can shop online or in store. Their hours are great (open later than most resale/pawn shops). Parking is store front or very close on side of building. & Travis ALWAYS tries to meet your expectations in regards to your purchase and/or something your trying to sell!

Review №21

They will tell you anything to buy your item for next to nothing. They will try to tell you they give the most in dayton LMFAO. They gave me less then 50 dollars for over a 1,000 dollars worth of product. Said the items was worth so little then i see them selling them for so much. They will give you less the anywhere in dayton stay away go somewhere else

Review №24

Love this place, all the prices are fair. Theyre an honest business and seem to really care about doing the best they can for you. Travis (owner)is an awesome guy, and another pretty awesome thing he does is donate unwanted items. Say you bring something in, he cant use and you dont really care to drag back home with you, he will donate it. I would definitely check this place out, they have a huge variety of things to buy and sell..... Its not a pawnshop! Just fyi

Review №25

Its ok,its small with a huge variety, He will have something for you.Prices are not real high if you dont shop second hand often. I go to all the second hand stores and pawn shops.I like the atmosphere there but there are better deals close Not across the street.Dont go there.

The owner of this store is a wonderful person. If he doesnt have what youre looking he doesnt hesitate to try to recommend other local businesses that might have it. Hes very knowledgeable about his store and willing to help you find something to fill all your needs while still helping you save money.

Review №49

They are great. I asked about a game they had and they set it aside for me to come get. They were very nice and knowledgeable. They even tried the items I bought in front of me so I could see that they worked before I left. They also didnt mind my five year old son playing their arcade game over and over. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for anything.

Review №50

My partner and I definitely appreciate how courteous the staff were with us when we walked in! I am a little dissappointed with the employees inability to identify the laptop/tablet duo we were attempting to sell. We gave him the name and model information, but he did not seem convinced it was the same product. I believe this hindered us from getting the fair amount we were hoping to recieve. He said if we went to a pawn shop wed be lucky to get $70 for it, but when we went to MR. Pawn in Dayton we walked out with $150 within minutes. Would not recommend for reason being lack of experience with certain products and their value.

This place has everything. The guys working there were cool and straight forward. I liked the overall atmosphere. There wasnt that much room to walk but they have everything well most of it.

Review №53

The owner is a decent guy. They are worse than a pawn shop. They will maybe offer you $5 for an ounce of gold. They a cheap as they get. Consistently low ball you. Nowhere close to fair at all. Do not give them your business. They do not appriciate their customers at all. Zero respect. The big nerdy guy who looks like he is trying steriods is the worst so if you do happen to waste your time there aviod talking to him. At least youll have that going for you. Good luck.

Review №54

These guys are very smart but fair at the same time theyll probably have anything youre looking for at a good price and if they dont have what youre looking for though at least make you laugh

JD
Review №55

Disrespectful!!! (The gentleman with red hair and beard is really cool as well as the gentleman who is part time and manages their online selling) I hope the owner who shaves his head and resembles the WWE star Taz doesnt ruin it for them all. Bite your nose to spite your face! You have alot to learn in life mostly in business & people. Being Right is not what you do best..

Jo
Review №56

All sorts of merchandise, bought & sold. Everything is open to negotiation. Cool people and a great sense of humor. Not a pawn shop! They dont do loans. They BUY things, to resell them.
