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.

To and from work, at home while house cleaning, I mean every chance I could listen I did. Finished in 3 days! So hooked. Heard about Phat Tracks, so thought I would check them out. Wasn't planning on anything, just seeing what spoke to me. And lo and behold, the second book was there. Caught Up. So of course I bought that book to read. Also spotted the third book, Game On. So when I'm ready for that third book, I'll be coming here. Cause it's that addicting and I don't want to go a day without reading the series. Book store has a lot to offer. A little bit of all genre. Some albums, coffee mugs, stickers, incense, just a really cool place to grab a book, read, walk around and look at all the little things. Owner is wicked nice. We chatted a little. He does reels on IG, so if you want to give him a follow and check out this small local business. Highly recommend supporting the little guy. They offer classes too. Book signing tours. Just check them out on IG for schedule. Parking lot is large. Love a place where I'm not struggling for street parking.

I did my research (Yes, Google is your friend!) and to my surprise I was offered exactly what I wanted for my silver coins.

Huge upsell here on silver when the GSR is 55:1, down from 65:1 in less than a week. Their profit…read morespread on 90% constitutional silver is nearly 30%. Meaning, they will sell you $1 face value in constitutional silver for $60, but buy it back at $40 with the excuse of "the refiners will only give me $50 for them." But there hasn't been an ounce of silver that has left this store to a refiner in the 3 months I've been coming here. So they are lying. So when silver is overvalued, like right now when the GSR is 55:1, they will try to steer you away from gold and push 90% silver. Because that's where their profit margin is highest. I don't like being upsold, and I don't like being lied to like I don't know how this industry works. I spent way too much money here to be lied to like that. I'll be going somewhere else from now on. Do yourself a favor, buy your silver from Costco, you can buy it at spot price or even back of spot price and it's .999 pure silver, so when you go to sell it, crooks like these won't take you for 30% on the value of your silver. Crooks. There's also some weird fat guy that likes to sit on the sidelines commenting on everything that you say. He doesn't work there. He never says anything correct or accurate. Everything he says is a lie, I don't know why he's even there. Just a fat dude that hangs around the shop. They have several of those "regulars." Hanging around like bar flies.
