| - This place is alright. Like another reviewer said, quality beats quantity for me, and quantity is the main strength of this store.
Some of the employees are unfriendly, mutter at you, and seem uninterested in customer service. If you aren't sure where something is, they kind of groan at you and give a crappy description of where to find it. For the most part, at least. Keep in mind this isn't all of the employees -- some of the employees are perfectly fine and friendly.
Again, the advantage if quantity over quality -- they are more likely to have something random you're looking for, but their shelves also contain lots of crap in the music/tv/movies section. The organization is generally okay -- it's usually in alphabetical order...usually -- so you shouldn't have too hard a time finding something.
The weakest section is the music section. There are lots of CD's....but who really buys CDs anymore? The only physical music I buy anymore is vinyl, and their selection isn't great. they have some random new releases, and some old classics....and more Teddy Pendergrass than anyone ever needs.
The section I spend the most time in is the basement with the comics and toys. I will admit, the inventory of comics is great. They have a ton of comics here, best in the area as far as I can tell. The prices, aren't great. All of the back issues were marked up at least 50 cents more than I find other places. I'm not one to complain about 50 cents, it just discourages me from buying more from them. This is why I only go there for stuff that I haven't found elsewhere.
The toys are more of a great nostalgic trip than anything I'm exactly interested in buying. They contribute to the ambiance, but I can't see myself actually buying any. Although, there was a toy DragonZord there, and once I have a home office, you better bet I will go back and buy that to decorate the new office with it!
So if you just want to browse media, it's a fun place to go. If you're looking for something unique or random, you might find it there. But, I wouldn't use it for my regular media purchases.
