While traveling through Erie on the way home I figured I would get in some thrifting; luckily, I…read moreended up at Mel & Tee's. Located just off Peach Street about 1 1/2 miles from I-90 I found Mel & Tee's easy enough. The front half of the store is mainly a hobby shop, some cool stuff but not what I was looking for. Luckily there is a door to the back of the store which is stuffed with a wide variety of items, collectibles, furniture, home goods and enough to keep you looking for a little while. For me the only item that interested me was a vintage wood stick puppet from Java/Indonesia. The puppet stood out as a very unique and high-quality item, although it did have a bit of damage to one of the hands. The price was about right, but a bit more then I wanted to spend. Luckily I started talking to the very nice lady at the register and she said that they were willing to deal on the item. I made a bid at the lower end of what I thought was fair and she accepted. I ended up getting a great one-of-a-kind item at great price. If you are looking to check out a local thrift store in Erie, Pa. I would suggest giving Mel & Tee's a try, not the biggest place but the fun is finding something you never expected; also really nice when you can negotiate a bit to get what you want.

Mel n Tees came out and offered her a good price for the lot of it and they were very professional and fair! They picked up all the furniture and were careful in doing so!

Game Corps is sort of just an average gaming store, to be honest. That's not necessarily meant as a…read morebad thing, I just can't think of anything that really stands out about it to be able to place it above any other gaming store in the area. The service is usually nothing special tbh, not great nor terrible really, just sort of neutral ‍ They have a pretty decent MTG card selection and fair market pricing on singles, but their trade-in % is sorta pathetic in my opinion, and you likely get more money or store credits if you take your trade-ins to Gateway Games instead! ALSO Recently, my fiancé and I drove across town in a blizzard (took about 30 minutes or so, a good amount of the gas in our vehicle, and a lot of anxiety from the slick road conditions and snow showers) to trade-in some MTG cards for CASH because their website states something along the lines of, "We're ALWAYS purchasing trading cards for CASH or STORE CREDIT!" But we were told upon arriving that they did not actually pay out cash for cards any longer, meaning we wasted the entire trip out there as we needed actual cash money to get groceries and such...So hopefully they update their website soon!

I walked in a year ago asking to see Final Fantasy MTG cards. The pretentious guy behind the…read morecounter says, "They're right here!" (They were the FF cards no one cares about and no one wants). I'm like no I mean the MTG FF cards. He's like oh they're over there and just vaguely points, then goes back to talking to the other associate behind the counter and ignoring me. The two people behind the counter ignored me the entire rest of the time. Glad to see places like this close. Sad because Tim was amazing back in the day. But whoever ended up owning it for a few years totally tanked this business.

They have hundreds of thousands of cards stacked with stars, and their prices are low. Variety includes Upper Deck, OPC, Topps, Fleer, Score, Donruss, Leaf, Pinnacle and spans the low and upper ends of the spectrum. The staff are unbelievably friendly. There is a palpable neighbourhood-bar vibe, where local collectors drop in to buy packs and boxes in quantities large and small, and feel free to voice their support or criticism of sports teams. Parking is free, and for those with a spouse who doesn't want to spend hours in a sports card store - there is a shopping plaza. London Transit has a close stop, approximately a 2 minute walk away near the Taco Bell. Definitely worth the bus ride or drive. This place is the epitome of 5 stars all the way through.
