He works with people well and even during busy times gives people the time they deserve and need. After our first time there and the amazing help we had received from CJ we hoped he would be working again today. We were in luck! He took great care of my son from buying a new helmet, looking at sticks, and purchasing new skates today. Wile this location is more than an hour from us we feel it's well worth the time. We have been greeted and helped all the employees have been kind and helpful. We greatly appreciated CJs want to explain everything so that we could understand and felt we were making the best investment for our child.

Best decision I've ever made because it was completely fixed within minutes and the guy made it look easy, even gave me extra parts too. The craziest part is they didn't even allow me to pay them. I brought money and wanted to tip the kind and helpful man for his amazing service and the lighter I got lol and he completely refused. Nicest people I've met in Albany and I highly recommend coming here, but maybe pay before the service lol! They're local, friendly, and super helpful. Being where I'm from in NYC I've never gotten anything for free before so this was the first and I'm super grateful I decided to make the visit today! Go support Seasons! Also super dope shoes lol.

They bought my first board from them in 2001, and have continued to buy anything I can from them because of the customer service and care for their community. Bill and his staff have always been so helpful in guiding me in my purchases to ensure I get the best equipment for my needs. I am working with Bill right now to purchase a new board from them even though I live in Scottsdale, AZ now. He's been great steering me away from companies that aren't producing great stuff anymore, and introducing me to better options that I will enjoy more. I really can't say enough great things about The Garden. I will ALWAYS buy my gear from them as long as I can. Thanks Bill and Team!

I called the store and spoke to a gentleman who had the manager call me to troubleshoot. Luke was amazing. He went above and beyond what I expected to ship me a bike to where I am in California. I only wish I wasn't across the country so I could go in person to thank him for everything he did to get me this bike. I would gladly purchase more bikes from The Garden.. not only to support a small business but because of the wonderful experience as well!!

I've patronized a few Play It Again Sports in two other areas of the country, and I can say without…read morereservation this is both the biggest/best stocked store I've been in, and they had the best staff of any PIAS I've been to. They are loaded for bear right now with winter stock - vast arrays of skates, hockey gear, skis, snowboards, and accessories. They tend at this location to stock ONLY what is demanded for the season, so if you're selling something from an off-season or are looking for a bargain tennis racket in November, you will be disappointed. They do full-season rentals on equipment, which seems to me like a great way to wade into a new sport. Their buyback scheme is as follows: when you bring a used item in, they will price it. If you leave it on consignment to sell, you will get 50% of the price, when it sells. If you want to take trade-in credit right away, you get 40% of the value. If you want to get cash on the nose right away, you get 30% of the value. I looked at the range of conditions and availability for skates (which we were shopping for today) and the price range seemed quite decent for what they had. I waited for our skates to be sharpened, and observed them helping some skiing and snowboarding customers and handling a buy-back transaction, and they seemed very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. The used prices aren't ultrabargains, but it's difficult to really find a specialty store that deals with used goods. You have your thrift stores, used car dealers, and other than that you're left with Craigslist and garage sales for the most part. So I think this is a pretty good niche, and for the ever-growing and changing-of-interest kids, a great great resource. They'll have to wow me on repeat visits for me to get up to the lofty five stars, but a promising four stars for now.
