They have thousands of DVDs, CDs, and video games to choose from. But what made my experience extra good was the help I got from Henry. I was looking for some rather obscure CDs that I had formally listened to in college many years ago. Henry was super patient and helpful to me. He looked up the titles and then even went to the racks to pull the CDs for me. 10 out of 10 for excellent customer service! read more

the prices are awful and game selection is basic. pokemon is marked up almost double.

Avoid the brown bags (even on sale). Easily one of the worst ways I've ever spent $15 and no return policy. The place as a whole has a lot of options on used stuff and pretty traditional for that kind of places. And you can find deals though it did seem expensive on the whole. What I was disappointed in was the quality. They have these brown mystery bags of DVDs and, without hyperbole, they are straight trash (unless you like the sample below). These DVDs are bottom of the barrel movies or workout videos and likely few you've ever heard of. Buy your mystery DVDs on eBay as they typically have a mix of trash and solid DVDs and you get more. Mystery bags are usually also ways a mix/risk, but I bought two bags even at buy one get one and I don't think there was a single redeemable DVD in there. Only a couple that I've heard of even being a big movie guy. As far as guest services, tried to talk to them but all they had was "Sorry, we don't accept return" even though I looked online and didn't see that under there no-return policy (unless I missed it). I usually wouldn't care and likely the gamble but these were so bad that even with 2 for 1 it was like pit of your stomach "I just completely wasted $15." Walked away even at $15 for two bags feel like I just got taken to the cleaners. They're just cleaning out all the leftover, clearance trash that everyone looked at and no one wanted without anything else to sweeten it so avoid and again I'll say, avoid those. Buy online somewhere else. read more

Huge selection of movies, large variety of options, good service, alongside decent prices make this store the best Movie Trading Co shop in the Dallas Metroplex. If you're looking for movies and retro games, this is easily my favorite shop. I've bought movies, traded in DVDs of movies I replaced on BluRay, and even picked up a Dreamcast Lightgun. Most of my purchases are generally similar or better than what you can find on eBay. But I can't help but buy certain bigger ticket items (i.e., 4k UHD BluRay) and support this great chain of stores. Honestly, the selection alone is so huge, I could spend a whole day here. So many great movies, my wallet is the only thing stopping me from buying more. We'll be coming back for sure! read more

I used to like this location a lot and really appreciated the service here. While I still think there are some good people here, the vibe has changed considerably. Recently the service here taken a significant downturn. Currently, it is a much less pleasant experience to shop here. read more

Very kind staff and a huge selection of old games you can't find anywhere else. Great for collectors. Super great prices. I sold my old original Xbox and games and I got $40- not much for fair for a 15 year old system. They evaluated my items on the spot and gave me cash right there. read more

If you want it they probably have it. I e been trying to track down some classics like caddy shack, porkys, all the national lampoons... they've had everything I'm looking for. Very pleased. Always friendly and helpful. Organized and clean. Cheap deals too! read more

Movie Trading Co. - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I didn't know there were any more of these around. I moved away a few years ago and totally forgot these existed. In a world ruled by streaming now, I imagine there aren't many movie stores around anymore. But sometimes what you want to watch is not streaming anywhere. For some reason, I really wanted to watch The Abyss, and it's not streaming anywhere. A family member reminded me that Movie Trading Company still existed, so I came by to see if they had it... And sure enough, I they had many copies. The staff I encountered in my short trip were friendly, and since I easily found the movie I was looking for, 4-stars read more

Vintage Stock (Movie Trading Company) in Dallas Texas is engaged in price gouging and criminal excessive pricing for new Microsoft product. The new Xbox Series X retails for $499.99 per Microsoft, but at Vintage Stock (Movie Trading Company), they are selling it new for $749.99 PLUS a forced additional purchase of controllers and video games totaling to $950.00. This should be $499.99 plus tax at the most. read more

Movie Trading Co. - PRICE GOUGING AT MOVIE TRADING COMPANY AND VINTAGE STOCK. - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Don't drop off your DVDs for appraisal if you're not going to sit and wait for the results. I dropped of 3 cases totaling close to 100 DVDs and they offered me $27 store credit or $18 cash. I came back to retrieve my DVDs and refuse the offer. Not only were the carrying cases gone but so were some of my DVDs. I got back the movies that they were willing to buy and the ones they didn't want to buy, got thrown away. 20 movies. I'm so upset about this. I still wanted my cases but now all I have is a sturdy cardboard box. With audacity, They gave me a $5 off coupon as an "oops, sorry about that". WTF. There is nothing in the store that's $5 anyway. So they still expect me to be a customer "here's $5 off on your next visit." Uhm No, not ever. I was reluctant to come here in the first place. It was definitely a bad decision. No I would not recommend selling anything here. But Buy stuff if you want to. read more

Nearly every time I want to add a movie to my collection, they have it! In addition, I prefer to pay a few bucks for a DVD, so in most cases I want a used DVD. This MTC location keeps a reasonable stock used DVDs. I don't mind paying a few more bucks for an unused classic movie. Times where I am not patient enough to wait for a DVD via mail, I go to Movie Trading Company to get what I want. So glad they are still around. read more

What an awkward experience in a store. No public restroom and the employee looked at me like I had three noses when I asked for this nonexistent bathroom. Then I pay out get my change from the cashier (who it took over five minutes to give me accurate change) Then I get it, and it has the odor of marijuana coming from it... So now my hands, my pocket, and car smell. Debated going back in the request different money that did not smell but... Judging by the cashier and the appearance of the front of the store (trash everywhere) I doubt they care. I'm only leaving 2 stars because I found the two movies I have been searching for... read more

Always enjoy your walking in and finding classic along with new movies and shows. I love this place and very chill people never have a problem finding what I'm looking for read more

Movie Trading Co. - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place goes on for miles. They have, obviously, movies but also games, comics, and collectibles. What I didn't like was how pricey their box sets were. Used sets were the same price as what you could get brand new at walmart or even best buy during a sale. Also the 4 for 20 deal sounds great until you can't find anything decent at the deal price. I love this place just not this location. I look forward to coming to MTC since I had come for years before I moved to Austin. It's like my guilty pleasure when I come into town. I was very disappointed that I walked in then out and got not a damn thing. read more

Movie geeks, the force is strong with this one. Hardly a better selection of movies can be found in DFW, even amongst other TMC locations. I've found many an obscure Brit Flick and subtitled German and Japanese films. Even the scruffiest of nerf-hearders could find something they'd be entertained with here. Gems I have found: "The Long Way Down" - Ewan McGregor's African motorcycle documentary "Out Cold" - American ski movie for $1 in the sale bin "Drunken Master" - 1978 kung fu masterpiece with a very young Jackie Chan "Human Traffic" - Brits on drugs I've brought movies in to trade a few times, and I always get a fair deal. The employees have typically been quite helpful. They are usually fellow movie nerds who know their shit and can hold an engaging conversation about said shit. I can easily spend 3 hours in this store and not even realize it. "Ready are you? What know you of ready? Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless." - Yoda read more

Love this place! If you are trying to find hard to reach DVDs this is the place for you. I have grew my movie collection on this place. It has also saved me when my husband has ran out and bought brand new moves that we later realized we didn't like. No worries we just took them up to Movie Trading Company to trade them in or get a store credit. So no lost what so ever. They will also take your old VHS movies from you. Of course you will not get much money for them but hey you get rid of them and still get a few coins for them. This is not a high end store chain but it will get the job done for what you are needing. If the location you are at does not have the movie you are needing the staff will look in there system to see if any of there other locations might have a copy of the movie you are needing and will place a hold on it for you. So all in all you can't go wrong here at all...... read more

I actually had a really good experience here. The bf and I got a wild hair up our asses to get an original Nintendo system. As soon as we started talking about it, I had to have one. Although I could think of a helluva lot more things I should have probably spent $70 (that included a second controller, a gun and two extra games) it was one of those obsessive compulsive buys that if you don't satisfy, you'll end up seeing one randomly two months later for twice the price and buy it just to spite yourself. Or maybe that's just me. Anyway, we headed in, and they brought us out a system from the back. They had a decent selection of games and we got a couple, but we had already resigned that we'd probably have to get the more popular titles (Super Mario 3, etc) online. It sort of comes with the territory of getting a 20 year old game system. They cautioned us to keep the receipt, which you need to return or exchange any faulty items. Of course, my bonehead bf (God love him) left the itemized copy somewhere in the depths of the mobile trash dump that I call my car. When our system went on the fritz a week and a half later, all I had was the copy that had the total on it. Groan. I called up and explained the situation, and they were more than happy to help. I apologized profusely and the guy on the phone (who miraculously was the same guy who sold us the system--and remembered us!) said I could bring in what I had and he would try to look up the itemized version in the computer. He DID mention that this was only because I was only exchanging it for another system and not returning it, which I can understand with all the buy/sell internet nonsense these days. Without these stipulations anyone could just mosey in with some bootleg stuff and make money off of it, no bueno. Overall, I was super happy with how the whole situation panned out. We're still the proud owners of a near-mint condition NES that plays perfectly. Power to the ancient video games!!! read more

What a fantastic concept here! It's a store to buy or rent movies. Let's face it...not everyone is looking for movie subscriptions like Netflix and Redbox doesn't always have the best selection...especially on a weekend night. I went in thinking I needed to buy the scrink wrapped movie but was offered a deal to rent it for about $4 for a few days. Umm...deal? Yes! They have a huge selection and had just what I was looking for. The store was pretty busy too which is promising. I purchased my movie but have the option to take it back within a few days and get the refund (purchase price minus the rental price) in case I change my mind. Bonus is they have a sweet VHS collection. (: Hey, they still work! read more

Absolutely love it here! Amazing finds prices, music, games & many more!!! Nice staff. Chill area. read more

See all

I will say,sadly I had to put 1 star just to post this message, My husband an I went in this store not even 5 minutes later we got approached by a manager name (Morgan) with a very very Bad attitude, not willing to help us and acting very racist towards us, we spend money every week at movie trading. The worst customer service you can ever imagine! When I asked her for her name an store number,she said "Good luck with that",so that let's me know they do what they want to do, and treat customers any way they want to. I know thats not right!..I wonder how long shes been getting away with this. If this message gets erased I wouldn't be surprised,but I will keep posting!! read more

Horrible service. At many of the dallas texas locations. Their cyber Mondays a joke. The only reason they will be offering 40percent off used is because all the online used is store only. Rather buy on ebay hell of a lot cheaper read more

One of my favorite places. I rent games, movies and tv shows from here all the time. They have great selection and a helpful, competent staff. They have a HUGE wall of TV shows, an AMPLE selection of DVD's and Blu-rays. A great place to find CDs, comic books, anime, old school (and new) video games and consoles. If you are looking to rent a movie, game or dvd, go here instead of blockbuster. It's a better deal. They'll also give you decent money/credit for stuff you sell to em. read more

Classic movie store with great selections of Comics, Movies, and video games. Several staff members are helpful, some aren't. Cheap prices are a savior if you want to spend time with your friends and pick out movies to watch on a budget, CDS are a bit overpriced. No way in hell am I paying for a 20$ MCR CD. Only really bad thing to say about this store is some of the people who *hang around*, I had a close call at this store because of a guy who walked up to me and started to strike a conversation with "Hey girl.". Several problems with this is, I am NOT a girl, nor did he stop when I looked up and he saw me. Luckily my dad walked by and the guy walked off and smiled. I felt gross. Although it's really not the stores fault but due to the experience of that, I had to hinder myself from giving this review four stars. read more

I could probably spend 4 straight days at this Movie Trading Company, surviving only off of Monster energy drinks and Nic Cage movies. For starters, the store is massive. You'll find yourself saying the alphabet outloud to guide you through the huge aisles of dvds and games. You'll also find yourself picking up 3 or 4 extra dvds that you didn't plan on buying because of things like "oh shit, i remember major league 2. $4? deal." My suggestion is to go their with a budget of $20 or so and seeing how many dvds you can get. The staff is also very helpful (if a little understaffed at times) and total movie nerds that will chat about your selection with you if they aren't busy. This location is definitely the best. Thank God I live so close to it. read more

This place has got everything thing! Movies, video games and music.. I basically traded my whole dvd collection here and got a good price for them.. (screw you amazon and your pathetic offers for my stuff) I've bought a few super nintendo and Nintendo games here...you can also rent movies. It is easy to get lost for hrs, wanting to buy everything. I'm trying to make my blu ray library into a collection and I'm sure I'll be here more often ! Friendly staff also. read more

Movie Trading Co. - Horror fest anyone ? - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The Movie Trading Company employees are very friendly there might be one that I don't like but the majority of them are very nice and very pleasant and always help me if I need to find a movie that I can't find. as far as selling movies to them they don't always give you the best prices but you have to realize the market value for DVDs and CDs is very low right now they do try to help you out when they can I got a very fair price today for my DVD movies plus I got excellent store credit but I chose to take the cash because I needed it for gas money read more

I have been looking for two older movies that I could find anywhere. Plus, they would have to shipped to my apt. I did find them both at this location and the cost of both of them there would have the cost of one them new. Thanks for having them. read more

I adore this Movie Trading Company! It's ridiculously huge, and they have everything from DVDs and Blu-Rays, to VHS, CDs, video games, comic books, and other random stuff. Everything is organized awesomely - alphabetically by genre. The staff seem to really enjoy their jobs, and are super friendly. The prices are delightfully low, and they have older stuff too - like original XBox and Playstation games. Sometimes I can walk out of there with a decent sized bag of stuff for under $40! read more

I am on a Mission! A mission to declutter and get crap out of my life. I took two huge boxes over to CD Source to sell them back and they only bought about a dozen of them. Something about them being too scratched or whatnot. So after picking up my rejected CDs, I drove half a block down the street and came to Movie Trading Company. They told me up front that it would take a little while to go through all of the CDs, although with nearly 400 CDs I understood that. They went through each CD, scanned them, and ended up buying all but about 70 of them. Within an hour I walked out with 1/4 of a box and about $62 in cash. Thank you Movie Trading Company... not only for helping me declutter but for the amazing People Watching... it was almost as entertaining to watch as the State Fair of Texas. read more

Stood at the front desk waiting for help, one guy on the phone told me to hold on, That the cashier guy was coming. Cashier guy gets to front desk and doesn't acknowledge me at all. And guy on the phone who told me other guy is coming is already helping the customer behind me..??? WTF even had time to record my self in line. And the craziest part the whole time I was waiting this little Asian chick is stuck on her phone by the front desk. Like dude why are you even working here when you're not even working. read more

That have a great selection of movies and classic games and at an amazingly low price. But unfortunately that means I've sold stuff here and know they give practically nothing for movies and games. Don't be shocked it they offer $.25 for movies. They are in the resale business of course. I Definitely need to rehit these guys up to complete my Marvel movie collection. read more

People at this location are a 5 in terms of help and attitude Inventory and selection is a 4 Prices are a 1 as you can typically buy new at Target or Wal-Mart for less with new releases Owner or location manager was kinda "Douchie" 2 out of 5 Based on this I only buy older movies here and go to big box for movies in the last 2 years read more

I am writing this review as a person selling movies not looking for one. I sold 8 perfect condition dvds with titles such as training day, ip man 2, face off, natural born killers, etc. I received the grand total of $6 for those 8 dvds. In retrospect I probably should have just tried to sell them at walmart parking lot and probably would have received more cash. They do have every movie probably ever made if you are looking for a movie. But I saw several lame movies on dvd for sale for $10 yet my were not worth even a $1 a piece. So my advice is if you selling movies go sell them on craigslist and if you are looking for a hard to find movie come to the store. read more

Hey just wanted to give a shout out to Rey he help me a lot the past couple days. I had went in for a controller and a guy had bought what looked like the last one on the shelf but Rey checked for me and found one up front. I took it home and the trigger was messed up no big deal, but I threw my receipt out. I called the next day and some assured me they could process a refund. Came in a few days later to see Rey again he help again looked up my receipt and got me a refund also when I went in they actually had another controller for me so I paid the difference and got a new controller. Just really appreciate Rey looking that up for me and even going out he extra step to find another controller for me. If he not a manger by now I feel like he should definitely be manager forsure in the near future thanks mane appreciate you guy are awesome. read more

Yet again, I am severely disappointed by my experience at Movie Trading Company. The staff is less than knowledgeable, they've sold me the wrong product on more than one occasion, and every single employee I've spoken to (with the exception of one girl with purple hair) has been horrificly rude. Their policies are garbage and the customer service is even worse. Today I came in with a simple request: help me find a cable to make my PlayStation 3 work. The gentleman behind the counter was less than enthused to help me and convinced me to buy a product where the box said PlayStation 1 & 2. When I insisted that this couldn't be the right product, he persuaded me that on the sticker sticker the store had placed on the box showed it would work for PlayStation 3. Despite my better judgement I decided to get the cable. When I asked the woman at the counter, who I'm assuming is a manager (that's a scary thought) what the return policy was she stated I could return it as long as it was on opened. I contested that I would need to try the cable in order to know if it would work for my game console. She rolled her eyes, sighed, and threw the receipt at me on the counter. After testing the cable, of course it didn't work. When I went to return it, the only nice employee at the store, that girl with the purple hair, took it back, apologized and refunded my money. On another occasion I rented a video game from the store. It was Bioshock 2. After playing the game I returned it into the after hours drop off slot. I realized the next day that I had given them my copy of Bioshock 1. After providing the employee on the telephone with all of my information and explaining the situation they said they could not help me and that the game had been thrown in the garbage. In my opinion someone probably just got a free game. I ended up having to return to their copy of Bioshock 2 and then had to go buy a new copy of 1 from the Gamestop next door who has yet to disappoint. I've never left a review on Yelp before but time and time again this store has disappointed me to the point where I will be taking my business elsewhere and hopefully redirecting other people's business as well. read more

I think I like this place better than Entertainmart up in North Dallas. I like how they still sell VHS for the older hard to find movies and both their DVD and VHS sections are organized alphabetically. This place should have been my first stop for looking for a hard to find movie for a class project. read more

Awesome store. I hope they last! And I hope they come to Longview Texas!!! Had everything u could imagine. Only sad thing is the system showed they have what I went for but litterly couldn't find it even w two staff members looking due to mass amounts of stuff. But still like the store read more

This is a massive movie store with a great selection of all genres. Everything is in alphabetical order, although I would prefer to see the films separated by genre to save me some time. They also carry old video games and I was impressed with the selection of classic Xbox and Playstation games. The prices are fair, with some items I purchased being really good deals and others just being the average price. They had some moderately hard to find DVDs (if you hunt via brick and mortar stores) and I was surprised to find some rare slasher films on Bluray. The staff was friendly, offered help several times, and for the toy collectors they have an OK amount of Pop figures and other novelty items. read more

Last time I came in here to sell something the employee acted completely befuddled, at which point he called a manager over who proceeded to lecture me loudly on their return/rental policies. When I stated (again) that I wanted to sell my DVD he said "well it won't me much." There is too much competition in the used media marketplace to spend even one cent somewhere where the employees seem to have a surly attitude. I used to shop here quite a bit, my money is going to Amazon now. read more

How in the world have I not reviewed this place yet? Back during the days I lived in the Village I frequented this place too much to admit. I may have acquired a mild movie buying problem in the process. I would go each week, pick out a letter and browse through until I found 2 or 3 DVDs I either hadn't watched in a while or had never seen and I would just buy them. 400+ DVDs later, yeah you could say I'm a fan. read more
