Shopping in Tukwila, Washington…read more.. We were at Southcenter Mall and saw the sign for Nice Buy. The cute merchandise called me in... There were many hair accessories, costume jewelry, bags, plushies, towels, phone accessories, purse charms, and more! I did quite well until I perused the rings. I found one for Brown (bear) that looked like a crown. I didn't have cash on me at the time and the minimum amount for a credit card was $20. I had to get a little "crown" for Nikki Bunny... LOL! They're both really happy! The cashier was friendly and efficient! Thank you!

I think a lot of their newer tabletop books are kind of expensive, and they look up online prices…read morefor old books that they probably got for 2-3 bucks at the thrift store, so that is -1 star. The free play tables however, are great. Fun commander magic games and enjoyed a few sessions from dnd here. The dnd minitures that they sell here are pretty cheap, for the lower end minis at least. And they have interesting and large selections of those. I like their minor tabletop card game collections, some are really cheap and look awesome, so that's great.

More than half the store was playing tables and theres a tiny bit of BO stank, but that's to be expected with card playing spaces unfortunately. Wish it wasn't so, but I felt very unsafe in there. Bought nothing. Took a lap around the store and had to leave fast. They have a consistent group of people going in for tournaments (lorcana, magic, Pokemon, but not as much yugioh) Won't be back.

My boyfriend and I enjoy checking out local trading card game stores and we wanted to check out…read moresome stores that we haven't been to. We had stopped by Kent for a meal and decided to check out The Game Shelf as they weren't too far. The parking is huge and shared with a lot of businesses and it was Friday evening, so it took a little bit of time to find parking. Once we parked, we entered into the store and were greeted politely by the cashier. There was a Magic the Gathering event going on and it looks like their events calendar always has something going on each day which is great. They even did Final Fantasy TCG which we have yet to see anywhere else and we have been to card shops in several parts of Washington. They had quite a massive selection of wares from desk mats, card holders, sleeves, deck boxes, board games, dice, and much more. We bought a few things and as we were checking out, the cashier mentions to us about their reward system which is a character sheet that you can fill out and there are six slots that they will add up from each amount you spent. Depending on how much you spend will determine your discount which I think is really neat and unique from other card shops. It rewards you no matter how much you spend rather than a point system that could take more than a few purchases to accumulate. I also asked if they were dog friendly and they are, they just ask that your dog is well-behaved, don't make a fuss or bother other patrons, and to clean up after them.

I felt bad because the person working there was clearly chilling and I felt bad to disturb their morning relaxing time before they started work. They still greeted me and were friendly and kind. Helped me choose the first D&D book I need to begin my adventures. Super excited and absolutely love this place. Highly recommend. Every Friday at 7pm is D&D night with a group who are willing to teach you:) they have events and other games there as well that people come to play. They have a fridge with drinks as well for purchase and games you can play off the shelf.

This is easily the best model shop i've been to. It has a large selection of just about anything…read moreyou would need for modeling and is very well stocked. The prices here aren't bad at all either. The employees are very friendly too. In fact, the only reason why i rated 4 stars vs. 5 is because of the time in which you can shop here, being open for only 4hrs a day and closed Sunday-Monday. Other than that though, I absolutely loved this shop. I will most definitely come back in the near and far future for models and related products alike!

Most of the staff are very friendly but the staff member who called himself the "Magic Guy" was…read morevery rude. He accused me of taking pictures of the store to make a scam site online (I was just using my phone to zoom in on the small prices on the wall), and then while I was buying something from another staff member for the posted price, he interjected himself and repriced the item raising it nearly $100 while I was buying it (about 20% over tcgplayer price). The other staff member looked really uncomfortable, I asked him why he did that and he just walked away. I said forget it, went to walk out and another staff member apologized for his behavior, said he was having a bad day. There are a lot of places to buy cardboard, most of if not all of what they sold is cheaper online. I like going to a store and buying it off a shelf instead of on a website, but not if they're going to treat people poorly. There are a handful of other shops as well between tacoma and federal way. Again, the rest of the staff was great and I hesitated to even bother leaving feedback, but I haven't been back there since and figured I'd share so people know who they may run into when they shop there.

Trust the recent 1 star reviews, and do not waste you time at this place…read more Scammers. Selling to shops as a female is always a hit or miss of whether they will underestimate and take advantage of you. They seemed to think they could try to offer me $70 for hundreds of dollars of cards, including graded, numbered and autos. Dude took out 60 of my cards and didn't comp any of them, including graded and numbered and auto ones, then proceeded to tell me they were all each worth about $1-3 each spending about 5 minutes max going through them and not once comping cards to average recent last sold prices. Knowing that was extremely low and that they didn't comp like all other stores, I let him know I'd be price checking before accepting any offers, which I always do. Once I spent 30 minutes of my time checking the cards for recent last sold prices, and found half of them were worth $15-$80 EACH, and removed them from the original pile, I was told they were closing in 10 minutes and could no longer offer me anything for any of them. Wasted about an hour of my time total in that store for them to just attempt to completely scam me and then give me attitude when they realized they weren't going to be putting one over on me. One of the cards he quoted was a few dollars only I had just been offered $40 at a previous card shop and still declined because I wanted more than 50%. This place is scum. Not to mention, I am pregnant with twins and did not need to be wasting my time or having a grown adult stress me out and waste my time. Terrible business. Maybe the owner shouldn't own a shop if they don't want to accurately price match, so they can scam pregnant woman and then be rude to them when they don't allow it. I am the only one who price matched and averaged recent sales of my cards to find you were trying to rip me off for hundreds of dollars. They didn't price match ANY and went through a stack of almost 70 cards you pulled in 5 minutes then added up some BS $70 number in your head. Maybe this shop shouldn't be open if they don't know how to do business or average last sold because they just want to scam people because using those methods and offering 50-70 percent is the standard. They also replied to my google review acting like they did price match last sold and I was just looking on eBay when that is completely false. He pulled 60 plus cards and added up a number in his head and did not price comp them. I also went by average recent sold not current eBay bids. This store is disingenuous to the bone. Their reply also falsely accused me of coming in after their cut off time for selling yet still accommodated me, when in fact I got there 15 minutes prior and spent 10 of those waiting to the buyer to come back from break and I wasn't even told of them having a cut off time until the very end. Goodluck with running your business like that. Avoid this place. There are other store between Tacoma and my favorite RENTON that are genuine, runs by best practices of comping, and offers 60-80 percent. Westside Sportscards is a fraud.
