For those holiday shopping in Murfreesboro, if you've never been to Game Trader, give them a look! They have the absolute best selections and prices of new and used video games, and the most helpful and knowledgeable staff of any store in the genre. I've been shopping here since the late 90s. This is where I do all my video game shopping. They also have fun stuff like video game soundtracks on vinyl, Mario plushies, and Japanese Gachapon Vending Machines for the cool anime & gaming trinkets. Ask for Finch and I guarantee he will take care of you! read more

This is one of the best game stores I've ever had the experience of visiting. Their prices are excellent and extremely fair. They even have a bargain bin full of games who have lost their case. The staff is always friendly and helpful and will try their hardest to answer any questions,clean your disc games, and help suggest games to new players. The selection is top tier. They have almost every generation of game or console you can imagine. I am a PlayStation player, and they have every generation of PlayStation games available in abundance! Not to mention they have spare cords, consoles, equipment, and controllers! It's an amazing local game store and they deserve every bit of the five stars I'm leaving! read more

I've been a loyal member to Game Trader ever since I found out about this place. The man worker at the front has amazing energy! He never fails to put a smile on my face. They have a lot of anime figures to choose from. I'm an anime fan so I come here regularly, as I said at the start, I've been a loyal member. read more

Love This Business... I Shop Here All The Time... Would Recommend For Anyone That Has Gaming Needs

What a hidden gem my lord is this place bring back nostalgia as a kid for me! Just walking in I had goosebumps and flashbacks so presentation was top notch! The selection of games was great ended up picking up a complete in box version of Donkey Kong something you definitely don't see every day and a few other things. Both guys inside were helpful over the top nice and I was happy with the price I paid for everything. Definitely have me as a customer going forward and super excited to bring my daughter in there when she comes here next she's going to go crazy!!! read more

One of the most organized used game stores I've ever been in. The staff working was very friendly and helpful. The pricing was hit or miss on most items. I ended up putting two items back because they were over five dollars cheaper on Amazon. The two games I did buy were priced fairly and the game guide was a fantastic deal. The only negative I could point out was all of the limited run games available were not priced where you could read them and you had to ask an employee to check each and every price sticker for you because they were located behind the register. read more

One of the best game stores ever they have employees and they are super respectful and very friendly and understanding

Very friendly staff and wonderful to shop at. Employees are very knowledgeable and are willing to help you.

They have new and used games and systems! I'm not a serious gamer. This place is for everyone. I really don't understand why anybody would go anywhere else in Murfreesboro, given that this has everything a corporate video game store and more with the same or better prices. Great prices for trade ins. Great Customer Service. Great conversations. I've been coming here for years picking up one game a year, saying hi to the same people. Now I make a point of it when I'm in town for the holidays. It's nice to see a long running quality local business especially in Murfreesboro. They recognize me and give me tips and fill in missing information rather than sell me more things for no reason. They have my business forever. read more

I had reviewed their other location here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-game-trader-madison?hrid=wxHqFtbkMFAFw9vRkehezA Many of the same things apply to this location though it is noticeably smaller than the Madison location. There is a still a wide selection from a large number of different systems. If you're in Murfreesboro, this is a must stop location if you're a gamer. read more

I've lived in a number of places and so I've frequented a number of "local" game stores. You'd be very hard-pressed to find one better than Game Trader. They have a pretty great selection of everything from 8-bit to current-gen, and often have a number of "oddities and curios", i.e. uncommon systems/games/imports, etc. It's the only place I've found in middle Tennessee where I've been able to waltz in and walk out with a few Virtual Boy games. They always have a lot of replacement accessories for used consoles, as well as a bunch of "famiclones" if you want something new to play your old games on. Heck, just being able to enjoy the nostalgia of playing the old StarFox tournament setup they have is worth going in. On top of a great selection and fair prices, the staff is phenomenal. It's easy to tell that they're into games just as much as the sort of customer who would be looking to buy rare and obscure ones, and always seem happy to share their knowledge. Remember back in the 8/16 bit days when it was fun to go to a game store because the staff actually knew what they were talking about, and had knowledge about games beyond what it says in their corporate advertising material? It's kinda like that. If you're in Murfreesboro and looking for used games, especially used games of the cartridge generations, then this place is an absolute must-visit. read more

Being the gamer that I am, it's hard to find a store that has it all. Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, I have finally found one that does, indeed, have it all. First of all, they have games both used and new. Both retro and modern. Both local and imported. They have a selection that would make even the most seasoned gamer weep with joy. Not only that, but the organization for the games is fantastic. All of the games are categorized and alphabetized properly; the way things should be done. Next, let's talk about the stuff besides games. They have strategy guides, keychains, pins, cards, scrolls, music, and so much more. If you're looking for a great gift that doesn't cost much, this is the place to do it Finally, and most importantly, customer service. Ye gods, this is where the experience truly shined. The sales clerk was not pushy, but he was courteous. He was patient. He was knowledgeable. He was everything that a gamer running a gaming business should be. I am so happy that I finally had the chance to check this place out. They have made a customer for life and I will be back again and again to give them my business. read more

Best game store I've been to! Very wide selection of games, hardware, toys/plushes/collectibles, and more. The owner is incredibly chill, polite, and patient, and is willing to take up conversation and answer questions. Gave me fair price for the games I traded in and didn't make anything complicated. I'll definitely return once I have games I don't want anymore. read more

Great selection and fantastic staff! My husband and I stopped by this location to see if they carried the game Bravely Default in stock. Other game stores didn't have it, but Game Trader had only 2 copies left, so we bought both! The guy that rang us up even chatted with us about attending conventions that we have interest in, so that was awesome. I would definitely come back! read more

These guys are great. I've been coming here for over 10 years, and they always have a great selection of new and old games at very fair prices, and offer great customer service. I've seen the guys handle some pretty tough customers during my visits, and they take care of them every time, no matter how rude the customer gets. If I lived closer, I'd be in here all the time, as their stock of retro games is constantly changing, and they're good people. I stop here every time I pass through Murfreesboro, and will continue to do so! read more

A good place to find games for cheap, Game Trader has been a Murfreesboro staple for years. With a constantly rotating stock on display, this is the end-all around here for rare games (older and newer) and gaming accesories. The knowledgeable staff, from what I have observed, is typically courteous and will point people in the right direction in terms of what they are seeking. Recommended to anyone who is looking for a better experience in shopping for videogame material. read more

Every single time I go in there, staff are too busy talking amongst themselves or to their friends to be of any use. This has been for over a year now. It is difficult to get their attention and when you finally do, they give you the feeling that you're interrupting them. Their prices are absurd, games are cheaper at gamestop, walmart, target, just about everywhere else. I was told one price over the phone, then a price $30 higher in person. I'm done with this place, don't waste your time. read more

This place is great. Prices are really good compared to other places (I'm not going to name). Staff is amazing. They have a huge selection and hard to find stuff. I always come back here. Thanks game trader! read more

I liked this place in my first visit they have a nice selection though they are over priced compared to other stores like great escape in Nashville and game galaxy in Antioch. Anyway I have one star up because I've only gotten two Gameboy cartridges that work out of the 6 I bought. Game cartridges use a battery to save game data, and these batteries can and will die over time and they do not appear to check for this unlike most similar. stores do. I went to exchange with my recipes and was told that I couldn't do a same value trade and that I must wait for them to get the exact games from the other store. He then went on to say it should take about a week and then went on with a story on how an employees mother is dying so it may take longer.. Real nice guys I guess we shall see what happens in a week. I'm expecting in going to have to call them. Stick to games that aren't in cartridge form of you come here as they do not properly work. read more
