I am BEYOND impressed with this place!! We are on Oceanside for a mini vacation away from Los…read moreAngeles today and on a side quest we stopped by here to just take a look. Little did I know I'd walk out today with a BRAND NEW WII! We got a Wii (it also included Wii Fit) and purchased a LOT of games too. The Wii was a huge part of my childhood and unfortunately the one I owned growing up was damaged and thrown away (gasp... I know! But not my fault)! Anyways, the worker there today (had on a My Chemical Romance hat & had some cool tattoos) helped us out today. I didn't get their name, but they were very nice and extremely helpful. The pricing here? Out of this world. It was so affordable to snag over 10 games and a brand new Wii. That's not something you'll get at Game Stop! On top of it, they offer a military discount (we couldn't use it but it's good to know for anyone who can)! This place is also dog friendly and I got to meet a cute dog named Bowie (I wonder if he's a regular)! All and all, I wish this place were located in Los Angeles. I really loved it and again their pricing was extremely fair. I really hope they can get a website up soon because I'd love to buy from them when I'm back home! Thank you for an awesome, affordable and great experience. It was like walking down memory lane in this store!! It took me back to my childhood.

I came in to trade in my old iPhone for cash and after they looked it over they offered me, what I would consider top dollar for my iPhone. After which I noticed they had quite a few PS 2,3, & 4 games off to the right. They had other console games too but I was primarily focused on PS games. Found the game I had been looking for forever (Midnight Club, PS2), bought it and now I'm taking it home to get my gaming fix. Highly recommend checking this shop out they appear to be new to the area and kind of operate like a pawn shop, only not, anyways. Check it out and for best customer service ask for Marisa, she knows what's up and can help you out.

As someone who buys, sales and, trades often. My experience here wasn't the most transparent. First…read moreof all it was clean, and everyone was friendly. However, as far as transparency goes. This is where I justify my 3 star rating. There is no transparency. I wasn't shown or told how they got to the amount they were offering me for the electronics I brought in. An item I brought in (like new condition, box included) that retails for $190 before tax. I was given $40. These retail used in the condition I brought them in for $150. They would give me half of what they'd be selling it for which should have been $75. Again, there was no transparency or explanation with how they got to this number. I didn't make a fuss because I wanted to allow them to show me their true colors. I do this all the time and I wasn't hurting for the money. But still, I probably won't return. And I encourage anybody who's going there to sell things to do your research online beforehand. figure out the condition of the item that you're selling and what it's worth online. Then cut that in half to get a pretty accurate estimate of what you should expect the payout to be from "PayMore". If they offer you significantly less like they did me then you know they are trying to take advantage of your ignorance. Transparency is very important to keep me as a returning customer. Unfortunately this location fell short of this. But if you are in a pinch and don't mind the low ball. Then at least you know you can make a quick buck at this location. The manager probably isn't going to like seeing this review. But it's the truth. Transparency is important, so is a fair buyout.
