Walking in the store, you will notice that it is really clean and that you are able to sit and play games if you are so inclined.

Trade-in's take about a week which they do give you a heads up on but buy lists are a quick turn around, typically same day. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Only knocked one star because you do need to check your buy list to make sure everything is included. I've had several instances where one card is missing and I needed to make a separate trip to pick up the missing cards. Made this mistake twice before I started double checking my orders before leaving. I usually order 10-15 cards per order so I understand things can get missed - just need to double check before leaving.

There were lots of people enjoying card games, which really shows how active and welcoming the community is here. I stopped by hoping to check out Pokémon PSA cards, but they weren't on display in-store and I had to look them up on the website instead. It would be nice to see some of those items showcased in person in the future. That said, the staff was very friendly and helpful, making the visit enjoyable overall. Definitely a cool spot for gamers and collectors alike.

This place has sadly gone downhill. Went to Lucky 7 today with my boys today (13 and 10) at their…read morerequest. My 10 year old (literally the happiest, most positive human) wanted to sell some of his Pokémon cards that he researched recently went up in price. When we approached a younger gentleman at the counter he told us that they don't buy cards on the weekends but asked an older gentleman next to him (dark hair, buzz cut) if he would at least look at them. My son was excited and grinning ear to ear! As the man approached us with what can only be described as a RBF, he just told my son how his cases were all wrong and why did he have them in these cases? My son's face went from elated to practically melting. He is literally 10 years old!!!!! As he continued to insult him, I asked the man multiple times what cases they SHOULD be in....it took me asking three times to get any sort of answer. They even sold those cases behind the counter but he didn't even offer for us to buy them and frankly, by that point they weren't getting any of my money. He gruffly left even though he said they would be interested in buying the cards. Tonight, my son sold one of those cards online for $120 (he paid $30 initially). I am so happy that he didn't let the experience at Lucky 7 dampen his moment. I am sure he will successfully sell the other cards online as well. When we first started going to Lucky 7 we loved that it was a local, family-owned business- that is how we like to spend our money and show up in our community. But sadly, we won't be doing that with this business anymore. Every time we have gone to this store there are a ton of kids, but sadly they do not know how to treat them - or frankly, anyone. If you are a parent whose kids love Pokémon and sports cards just consider this before taking your children to this place. Over lunch I talked to my boys about the way we communicate with people and how it is not always what you say, but how you say it. His cases may have been wrong, but tell him what is right instead of admonishing him publicly and give him the solution. My sons will be better for this lesson and perhaps the owners can teach their grown male employees the same lesson but we certainly will not be around to see it.

Hard to not feel like I was fleeced out of about $100 here, intentionally or not…read more First time visitor - went in on a Saturday and asked what percentage they pay for trade-in values for store credit. The woman at the counter told me 80% which was perfect for what I wanted. The following Monday I brought in 10 high value MTG cards - almost entirely secret lair that I've collected over the last few years. I was offered much lower than I expected but I understand card values change and I was told previously that they bought at 80% so I assumed that was what they were offering. It's on me for not double checking but I trusted them based on what I was told before. It still felt off by the time I got home so I double checked and did some math and it didn't add up. Called the next day to confirm the trade in percentage - this time I was asked if it was Pokemon, MTG or Sports card. That's when I was told it was actually 65% for MTG. If I had known that I would have kept my cards. Multiple people expressed interest in my cards while I was still in the store so I know these will move fast. I really wish whoever I spoke with on the first day had clarified what kind of cards I was bringing in. If I had known I wouldn't have sold them in the first place and found an alternative. I received a reply on my google reviews that this was a miscommunication on their part and I think the store should make it right based on their mistake.

I got to spend my time painting, talking about Warhammer, and getting away from everything. Lucas the store manager is great, the people I met in the store is great, the selection is great. It's a good day if I'm able to make it to this store. Sometimes, the grim darkness of the far future is the best way to get away from the grim darkness of reality. I think people need to understand the reality of running a one person store. If you're one person working the entire store gets sick, you can't open.
