Slacker's CDs and Games Review

Place is great. Stop being idiots who want to compare prices on massive online retailers who more than likely sell you broken/bootlegged games/music/dvds. Support a local business that can offer you a great return policy and quality of product.

RDS here is amazing. They have everything laid out in alphabetical order and if you can't find something, the employees are willing to help. Got everything I wanted, and left with a smile. 5 stars!

Some very great death metal, thrash metal, heavy metal... Cds and records also you can find a lot of cool Metal accesories here like comics its a very cool store if your into metal, superheros, posters, games anything really

Staff are nice. Prices are ok. The main issue is that they never seem to be open during the times posted. This is the 3rd time we have tried to shop here and it is wasn t open but according to the sign it SHOULD be open

Fun little comic, music, movie, game, and apparel store.

Always make it a point to stop by when im in town. I always find something interesting plus the vinyl.

Good store. Cool vibes. Cheap games and consoles too.

It's a pretty cool place to go and buy pretty cool music, movies and game stuff

Super rad games and music at great prices. Everything looks awesome after reorganizing the store. Staff are always friendly and helpful, I'm a weirdo collector and they are just as nice to me as they are the set of parents buying skylanders. 10/10 if you don't have any ideas gift shopping stop by and you will find something strange and fun

Nothing beats the original. This location is very special: decent cassette and vinyl selection, spotty 8trak and VHS Collection, but the 80's and 90's selection is seccond to none. Count on them for having rare games you can't find in other places.

I like Slackers. Usually overpriced, but I can usually find what I'm looking for. :)

Always fun to check out what they have and dig through their records and comic books. It's crowded but cozy and comfortable.

Great place to buy classic games and old music . I filled out some more of my mage collection

Love this place. Comics, movies, pop culture, video games, board games, vinyl records, poop vinyls, toys, posters, etc. Friendly, helpful staff, hometown feel, great layout, fair prices. I keep going back again and again just to see what little gem I may find in there next!!!

These people are seriously picky about games being sold to them or traded. Took a ps2 game practically brand new played it once and they said it was to scratch up'd WOW way to run a business when advertised to bring your used games to sell or trade. Does the game have to be shrink wrapped and unopened to sell? to you?
Bad Business advertising. Don't see you lasting long when Vintage stock takes used games I understand if someone is selling something scratched to hell or gauged but this game was just dirty from sitting on a shelf in its case. I for one don't recommend going to these ignorant morons. Better off going to Gamestop or Vintage Stock and getting better customer service. FYI might want to let people know that before they take their DVD based games in to trade. Not good Business practice if you ask me

Ever since they split the store in half its been kinda lame but thet do still have some ok stuff but i recomend vintage stock at the mall, its just like slackers but with better and more selections

Always a good time looking at stuff, and decent prices. Been going since the mid 90s

Staff were helpful and knowledgeable, prices were affordable

Where do I start with this place? I will start with what I liked. First, I love how much stuff they have in there. They have tons of music, movies, video games, toys, etc. I have a blast looking at everything and cruising down nostalgia road. However, that's about where it ends...

The first thing you will notice when you look closer at the items are the prices. My god, they have jacked up the prices on used video games SO much! I was constantly pulling out my phone and comparing to eBay and Amazon marketplace prices and Slackers' prices are so much higher than what I found, and that's even when I include shipping from eBay/Amazon. I then tried to ask one of the guys that works there where they get their prices, but he looked at me as though I was wasting his time and very rudely stated "supply and demand man" then went right back to whatever he was doing. I would try to give specific examples of what games I compared, but it was on nearly every single one I compared and I looked at dozens.

This brings me to my next complaint: the service. Every single person I have dealt with in there is rude and unfriendly. Again, I feel as though I am pestering them just to ask a simple question... I HATE that! Not once while in there did anyone ask me if I needed help or gave any recommendations.

I did actually find a couple of used video games that, compared to eBay and Amazon, were decent prices so I decided to purchase them (they were Sega Genesis games). I take the box to the counter to buy them and the same man who acted like I was a bother earlier brings me just the game cartridges and keeps the case. He then informs me that 95% of those used games don't have the case - they are cartridges only. So I asked if I could just have that one, but he explained they need them for display purposes. So why make it look like you are getting a complete set, just to find out you are only getting the cartridge?? Once I found out it was the game only, that quickly changed how I felt about their asking prices.

The environment itself in there sucks. In the summer, it is EXTREMELY hot. I actually get relief going back outside to where there is a breeze. Now I know this isn't the store's fault, but most of the customers are rude too. I politely say excuse me and try not to get in anyone's way. However, when I am trying to look around, I get bumped into without a "sorry", people will hog a section (because the aisles are so incredibly small you can't fit more than 2 people in at a time) so I have to wait until they move to continue looking. Being close quarters with people when it feels like 100 degrees in there isn't pleasant either. It makes you hotter and you get the wonderful aroma of crotch sweat and b.o.

Finally, and this didn't happen to me directly but to a friend, they low ball you so incredibly bad on trade ins. He had a barely used original Game Boy complete in the box with several games and he still had to pay out of pocket to buy a used copy of The Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker. I know that game is SOMEWHAT rare/expensive, but my god that is insane. Especially considering what they are going to charge for the items he traded in. And this isn't the only case of this I have heard of. Countless people I have bought games/consoles from on Craig's List said that they were going to go to Slackers to sell their stuff, but were offended by the low ball offers, thus why they decided to sell online.

Overall, I will NEVER waste my time in that store again nor would I ever recommend it to anyone. I REALLY wanted to have a good game store here, other than GameStop, where I could take my money and not feel as though I am being screwed over. I also want to support the local community by keeping my money here. However, I absolutely will not drop a dime into a store like this. I will happily support other people who offer reasonable prices and even pay for the shipping. At least that way I don't deal with rude employees, customers, and don't have to leave my home.

Only place to get my nerd fix that I've found so far since moving here

So about a year ago we traded in an old console and games, enough to have several hundred dollars worth of store credit. Fast forward to well over a year later my wife buys me a PS4. I'd love to use some of my store credit but because a pink slip they gave us was lost they won't allow us to use our own store credit, even if we bring in an ID to identify ourselves. They only reason to have such a policy to is hope that the customer loses their small pink piece of paper so they save money. Not very consumer focused....

Super sweet place; records, comics, CDs, all kinds of fun things.

OK selection of vinyl. Lots of video have stuff but not what I was looking for.

Good place for used games, music. Theres some cool posters & vintage items too.

Cheap vintage and new video games! As well as collectibles and movies!

Good place for some niche video games and movies. Not the most helpful or best place around, but I'm glad they're here.

Prices are high, but the stuff is really cool. Posters, comics, music, games, etc. I just wish they carried manga and kpop related stuff. That would really up the variety.

I always loved going into Slackers. I always found several cds and dvds on sale, and even managed to fine stuff I thought was out print. It's also a great place to find local artists on cd, and international music too. I kinda miss it now that I'm living out of state.

The staff is so helpful and knowledgeable about their selections! They even called other Slacker's store to help me find what I needed. Their suggestions for selections of both games and music have always been on point.

Pretty cool, dude. They have a decent selection of everything. Good prices on used games and records.

I like that the games are great for old consoles but the prices are way too high! They are just old used games! A Nintendo cartridge should not cost $20.

Get place to shop for the old games and game systems plus CD's

Easy to trade and sell stuff. Really good variety too.

Great for nerds.retro throwbacks and used new games as well.plus unique collectors items and music.too.has great selection of comics

Wide selection of comics, records, video games, table top and card games. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. Fair prices for buying and selling.

Wide variety of merchandise. A bit pricey sometimes, but worth a look when searching for CDs, games, or Magic cards.

My kids and I have been going here for years and we love it!

Bought a ps1 memory card. Was surprised by the change in layout. Always call ahead if your looking for something. I great place down town.

I go here for the records and antique toys, not garage sale, much better, top of the line collectables in many genre.

Pretty subpar and pricey for used media. Especially since DVDs are becoming a thing of the past!

Surprisingly , they had what I was looking for and l may go again soon. Thanks.

Update your times through google I came all way up here to find out I gotta wait a hour more nope I'm out

Good prices campared to everyone else and carry every collectable I want in one place

This place IS DA BOMB!!!!
It's got cds, dvds, comics, vinyl, cassette, board games, video games and it's all cheap

I had a difficulttime finding a game for my son and it was pretty strange how the only employee there kept trying to avoid me. They have a massive selection of wall posters, but every single one that I asked for was sold out. I literally made a list of 26 different posters and they didn't have a single one.

Fun store to browse through retro games and accessories, and vinyl records. Prices seem reasonable on most items.

Great selection of music, comics, game, and general nerdy stuff. Its not a huge store but they have a little bit of everything

Alright spot for record collectors, but the prices are ridiculous. I have found some obscure 7"s here and I applaud them for that. Bought a few GameCube games here, too for my system and the total ended up being close to $50. I can pay half that price on eBay or GameStop. Re think your pricing!

Comfy little hole in the wall with wide range of vintage goods.
