Slackers goes back and forth. I really liked the one in Columbia…read more I was excited to see this one open and i would walk around it many times before becoming a fan of eBay and amazon. Slackers is a hit and miss, as many stores can be. I've walked out thinking I've got the best deal over on a game or cd, and I've picked up a cd and saw the $60 price tag for Pearl Jam bootleg I found on eBay for $12. I guess it's for the people who have never gotten online. This store has a cool staff, most of them love what they do. I just found it to be pricey too many times.

Really a cool little store. All kinds of nostalgic and up to date items…read more Huge selection of CDs and games. Prices on used games are kinda steep for such a competitive market with stores like gamestop and now cybergames. Keep your expectations low, and you won't be disappointed.

If you question his prices he snaps and tries to act like he is the knower of all things, even if you can provide facts behind your argument. Never going back, I've heard the same story from at least 5 people now. It's amazing how this shop is still in business. You have a better chance selling your items online.

If I'm can't find a specific book that BN app says is in stock there, one (or more) employees are always willing to take the time & effort to chase it down. Yes, even during busy times. Checkout line can sometimes get backed up but additional help is called in. (Or I check out at their cafe's register.) Sales are hard to beat, especially if you pay for BN Membership and : buy five bestsellers at "30 plus 10 percent off, you've covered the membership fees!

I am only reviewing this after I have fully picked through all the good records. I know records…read moreare dead (long live records), but these are only 50 cents, and sitting on the first stack of records was a copy of Orff's Carmina Burana by some big choir director I can't remember, but it was a big name, and I thought, "what else might I find?" I found a bunch of other stuff, and I can't disclose, because it would give away how cool everything is. This is a store, so to speak, run by the University of Missouri libraries, where duplicate records and VHS and CDs are sold. I was told by the helpful staffperson that about 10 seconds after the advent of CDs, the university radio station chose to sell all their vinyl, and the university library bought them all up. So now they sell off the duplicates and keep the rest for posterity. And you, the state taxpayer (or out of state visitor), benefits. I think 50 cents is a deal, and all the records I got were very well kept. Some didn't have a interior record sleeve, but they all showed very little wear and tear. Most of it is classical, but there is about half which is not. Of course you won't find the latest Radiohead album here, but if you're looking for something that a university radio station might play back in the days of records (Dave Brubeck?), then there's a good chance it's around.

I don't know when this place closed, but when I sent my 8mm reels to them the first week of Dec…read more2010 they were open and did a great job. They processed 16 8mm reels from 1958 to 1964 along with about 40 35 mm slides and 2 VHS tapes. Went without a hitch. Price was very reasonable, service was quick. I would recommend them. I think perhaps they are on the internet only now and perhaps the "brick and mortar" place closed.
