The good: Great selection of games and systems. The bad: No prices on games, they look them up on price charting when you inquire about the price, which means it could change daily. An absolute deal breaker for collectors. Whatever you pay for something, mark it up and put a price on it. Too bad too, this place could be awesome. read more

Yo! This shop rocks. I took my kiddos last weekend to get some Switch games. This store is crazy packed with games in every format. New and used. Plus gaming systems, accessories, collectibles and more. And the owner was super helpful. I think he said they've been in business for 26 years and 20 at this location. That says everything you need to know. Reputable, knowledgeable, trustworthy...this shop is the epitome of game stores in Sac. read more

Ben and Jessie know their stuff and their prices are very reasonable! I love coming here and just browsing around! I definitely recommend checking them out if you are in the area! read more

Great service and really fair prices have been going there for years have always been treated with respect you won't regret checking them out read more

I came here to get a game for my grandson and they were super rude ! The prices are overpriced and the young man that's working kept giving me attitude whenever I asked a question. He also would not stop walking in front of me without saying excuse me . DO NOT BUY FROM HERE !!!! read more

always great prices and good customer service. i won't go anywhere else for my gaming needs.

Go to this video game shop! Really kind and helpful staff who know a lot about video games. They know about current trends, historical patterns in game design and the industry, and just good recs for fun games for a variety of consoles. Plus, they have a ton of games! Game Trader is a great video game shop read more

This was a really nice store for retro video games. I was on the hunt for some PS2 games and was in the area so decided to check this place out. I've missed going to look at video games for my collection. It was easy to get to and parking was fine. They had a large collection of PS2, PS3, PS4, and Xbox games. I was also pleased to see that they had some classic NES and SNES games. Nothing I wanted but still nice to see. They also had a small selection of PS1 games. Prices were comparable to prices online on the second hand market. I also saw that they had some game consoles for sale as well. I recommend checking out this shop if you're a video game collector. They just might have something you were looking for. It was nice to just browse older games. read more

My Xbox One was malfunctioning, so I brought it into the shop... Within moments of putting the console through function tests, they were able to tell me what was wrong with it, how much it would be (very reasonable) and when it would be ready (3-4 days). 1.5 days later they told me it was ready for pickup. I will use them again. Very knowledgeable and polite. Great business. read more

This place had a great selection! I'm always looking for Sega Cd, Saturn, genesis, and most places have almost nothing. But here, I walked away with two complete rare genesis games, one super rare loose game, a Seca cd game, and a common ps4 title, all at sub-ebay prices. But really what's nice is the vibe. People were playing smash, the shop manager was casual but easy to get hold of and talk to, and when I wanted to get a new case for a ps4 game he just swapped it for me no charge. Also saw great selections for gamecube, original xbox, Ps2, etc, with no need to wade through tons of sports games. There were even some turbografx titles - banged up, but they were there. Whoever wrote those old negative reviews must have had a grudge, because I just went to ever game shop within 20 miles and this was far and away the best. Don't miss it! read more

I needed to repurchase a PS3 and this store had the best prices! Benny was helpful and there are a lot of gems in this place!

Large inventory, helpful employees, easy parking, right off freeway 99. Good small business and friendly customer service.

My grandson had his ps4 service there due that it wasn't turning on. We had left it there until they called us to pick it up . They fix it n ask if my grandson drop the ps4 in which he did n not tell anyone. There cost of the repair was reasonable price that I could handle $35. Thanks game trader for fixing it. read more

Yeah the guy he gave us a broken game gives a PlayStation 2 game is broken plugged in yelling at us and we're never going back over there I think you guys should never ever go to that place read more

I wanted to sell 3 games the guy gave me $20 and said to buy a game from there thats not what i wanted to do. Whats the point of selling my games if he was gonna keep the money and the three games either way i thought the point of selling my games is so i can get cash and not have to buy a game from there. In that case thats like trading my games for a different game. If i wanted to trade the games i would've done that . No my idea was to go in there and sell the games. Not get cash buy a game and him keeping the money and the games i went in to sell read more

I have had my items in to be repaired and come back damaged. Examples like clips broken or scratches and cracks. Owner also does not update prices and will not honor labeled prices. read more

A good store for retro and current games and video game consoles. PS1, PS2, SNES, Sega, N64 games and DVDs and more. Some of the classic and rare games are priced a bit too high. I was just stoked to find old classic PS1 and SNES games. read more

Given the reviews are very dated, here you go: A few weeks ago, we were directed to this place after venturing into a pawn shop further up on Fruitridge we happened to check out. Once inside of Game Trader, they had lots and lots of movies, games, consoles, and accessories. You know those proprietary cables you cant seem to find anywhere? Game Trader has them majority of the time. You know that one game you cant seem to find at any of the major big box stores? Well game trader has it majority of the time. I've gotten 4 games since finding this place and they are in great condition. The staff is friendly. The owners are pretty knowledgable. Mind you they wont know as much as you fanboy gals and guys, but they know quite a bit from all generations of consoles and games. This little hidden gems is worth the venture. Do yourself a favor and check it out. What they lack in flashiness that the big box stores have, they completely make up for in customer service and availability. Cheers! read more

I been coming to this game trader for over 4 years and I buy a hard drive last week and go on vacation and come back yesterday and put it in my PS4 download the system software and then I try playing Cold War gta and they would freeze on me everything minute I come in today and talk with Ben the guy that sold it to me and it comes and brings up some guarantee shit that he never told me he said I broke it without even checking it I been fixing console systems for over 2 years and then he says I can't do nothing homie you sold it to me and I check online and a one terrorbyte harddrive cost 54 and he sold me a 500gb for 40 and it was USED and he never told me I will never be coming to this place ever again. read more

Didn't really care for this place. The people working didn't seem very friendly and were more interested in looking at their phones than helping customers. Also most of their retro games (the reason I was there) weren't priced. Instead when I asked about them the guy said he would "look them up" if I had questions about prices on anything. Really hate that and people who do this always overprice with a quick glance to ebay. read more

Very nice store. I went there today to sell some games I wasn't playing anymore. They were very kind and I was happy with what they gave me for the games. Also it is a very clean store. I can't wait to go back and shop some more. read more

Pleasently suprised... I stopped into this location after the one on Daly Avenue closed a few months ago. I always had good experiences, so I figured I would try this one. I am glad that I did! I am a retro gamer first, and a modern gamer second, so was I ever excited to see a ton of NES, SNES, N64 and PS1 games. I talked to one of the owners, and he seemed to be very knowledgable and happy with his job. Nice guy. The store itself was well organized and clean. Also, I didnt get that corporate Gamestop feel where they try to upsell you and push preorders on stuff you dont want. Just a nice, relaxed atmosphere. I will definitly return soon. If I had the money, I would be a daily customer! 5 Stars. read more

Hours say open to 8pm. Drove all the way from Sunnyvale and it is 630pm and they are closed! No one is answering the phone either. Update your damn hours!!!! read more

Great place and worth the look of your in it for older console games. I purchased Donkey Kong country for Snes here and its in working condition. The cartridge is nearly mint as well. Customer service was great, highly recommended to give the store a look. read more

Game Trader - Great condition and working. - Electronics Repair Near Me - Sacramento, California

Passionate owner who excels in running an excellent gaming business and it's always a good experience when I visit. I was in the market for PSP games and they carry hundreds of titles for that console. Picked up like PSP15 games, and some PS3 games over the visits. Game Trader has thousands of titles, and you'll probably find something that you didn't even know you were craving to play again when you're there. They can fix any console, and the prices are comparable to those online, so shop local. Shout out to Keith, he's awesome! read more

Well I'd like to rate it based on customer service and inventory, but since I waited 20 mins past opening and still no one came, I can only give them 1 star for horrible punctuality. read more

Worst game place of my life and I thought GameStop was bad now they're all the same to me I cannot trust any more game places. Game Trader sold me a bogus Xbox that constantly has a red ring around it they didn't do anything about it I brought it in too many times and then they said there's nothing wrong with it they played me out of a lot of money they took advantage of me as a woman and lied I will never trust them again I wish I was warned you before I went into there and spend a lot of money now that I think about it I guess I was warned the name of the store tells the whole story about them they are Traders they are also evil backstabbing bastards I'm just going go to Walmart I guess read more

I called a few places about my malfunctioning 360. This place was the most affordable. Yes it is a little place, but these guys are honest, fast and fair. I returned a year later and thought my 360 was broke but it was just my Blur disc was dirty. They didn't take advantage of my naïveté. They cleaned my disc for free! I love this place! read more

I would recommend this place only if you want to purchase old games for your N64, SNES, etc. I think they have more selection of used old titles for every system and their customer service is actually decent. However, I recently bought two Ps2 games here and they were slow to load. I had misplaced my receipt but they were nice enough to help me look up my transaction. I exchanged them and received two discs that didn't even work. I would say that I wouldn't trust buying anything CD related here but my past purchasing history with them was pretty satisfactory with other cartridge type games. A word of warning...the restocking fee here is 40 percent for used games o.o read more

Very well here i go again to the people that don't know about video games. I am veteran gamer with every video game system under my belt this place is over priced. They will not give you a fair trade-in value on your games or accessories i was only given about 1/5 of what my accessories where worth. on your trade-in u want at least 1/3 to 2/4 depending on replay and availability to replacement cost they also told me that I would have my game by a date and I did not receive it for another 2 days therefore making me feel uneasy about them having my money and my trust so i will never use this store again there is my new review if this gets flagged I'll be calling yelp it falls in all the guidelines thanks have a good day and i do not want to be contacted by the store manager again or his friends writing tips and reviews read more

Went here to get a RCA cable for ps3 pretty decent price! The service was great he was really helpful! If I didn't call I don't think I would ever come here because of the location but after all small but great service. read more

My fiancée is a Pokémon fan, so I decided to see if I could find some of the old Gameboy/Advance/DS games around town, and maybe a DS or two. I went here first, as it was closest to me, and was surprised to find a number of the games on my "list" and a couple DS systems in good shape (one even being a special-edition Pokémon version). I made a note of the prices and checked out six other places between Elk Grove and Roseville. Only one other place had anything I was looking for, and I ended up coming back here for their better selection and prices. They'll also replace the in-cartridge game battery for free if it ends up being depleted. $7 if you bring in an outside cartridge for a new battery. Had to take off a star because of weird billing issues (limit on amount that can be put on a credit card, cash refunds instead of crediting the original card, overall uncertainty on how to process a sale), and because two of the games I bought were defective. They provided a refund, but it required another trip because these weren't checked. read more

I've probably spent more money than I should. If your trying to build your library or just trying to get something new, then this is the place to come shop. I've been coming here ever since I found it existed, and I live in natomas. Staff is helpful and I've never had an issue. The price wise is comparable to Amazon which stops the low balling reputation that other places come with. Ignore the issue with the lady and the Xbox. I've seen how they handle issues of consoles they've sold which is," oh just bring it back in with your receipt and if it's not working we'll take care of it." Typical WALMART waaaaahing shopper read more

I only come to trade DVDs. And I always find some for my collection at slightly fair prices. The store is very small though.

Seriously love this place. I search for hours for my games for the 64 I called them they had every game I wanted. Friendly staff. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

my boys have been going here for years, I never had the opportunity to go until christmas eve this year. I could not believe how helpful staff was. I was looking for some games for my 2 younger son. they spent hours with me telling me about all the game, so that I could pick which ones the boys would like best. then they told me that everything was 25 to 30 percent off. it was a wonderful experience and if your looking for some used games this is the place to go. read more

Always a good deal, never have a problem while I am there. I have been shopping there for years. Great deals pretty cheap when you consider you could be paying full price. Have gotten all my games and movies from them. Love it! read more

Besides being 10 minutes late after opening time. The service was okay. It's a small place but they have a really nice selection of video games and DVDs. I am a retro gamer and I bought a Nes console here for a reasonable price. Sometimes their retro games can be overpriced. This place does have a reputation of opening 10-25 minutes late which can be a bit frustrating. Three times I came to this store only to sit in front of it, waiting for the owners to come open. read more

This was my 1st time being in here.. and they had a great sega dreamcast selection of games and they were already priced and really great price on some rare ones... took them to the counter to buy them and nope the owner told me that's not the price... so mad do not shop here they have one price and next thing you know it's not the right price I hope this place goes out of business... read more
