“Great guys there that know a lot, especially Gary. My trucks servo broke the 1st day and I brought it back in and Gary installed a new servo that was better quality. Works awesome now!”
“Brought in coins from my dad’s collection. I tried to find out the cost of coins on my own and was overwhelmed. Then didn’t even know how to begin to sell them. Went to Oakton Coins and Collectables. They went through them and gave me a price. We sold to them and trusted they were being fair! I’ll probably never know but made that deco to sell to them. Hard to part with my dad’s collection but we lived in Oakton for my entire youth and young adult life. Maybe meant to be.”
“Fantastic fun place spent time enjoying all the figures that they have for sale. Love the variety. Staff is friendly and amazingly informed. even know the local area for great food. Great gaming area also”
“This place is heaven to all aviation enthusiasts that like to collect model airplanes! This small shop has tons of aircraft from both commercial and military! I got around 30 Daron airplanes and the guy checking me out gave us a discount and a free safety manual! If you are in the Chicago area and like aviation I would recommend this place to you!”
“Rich's collectibles has a wide selection of many different collectibles and the owner is very friendly too. It's the perfect spot to find gifts for yourself or others at a great deal! Prices are very fair! Will be back again!”
“This has been my longtime favorite LCS, but Marc went above and beyond recently when he helped organize a week of educational programming for high school students, including a loan of some Roman coins for the week. I am very thankful for his help and will be a customer for life. You should be too, go visit this awesome shop!!”
“Nice store to visit, the guys at the front desk were very friendly and open to questions. Excited to hear they will be moving to a new location that'll be much bigger! And it'll only be a couple mins away. If you get a chance to, come and drop by this shop and support them!”
“Knights Edge is phenomenal! Not only are there many stellar pieces to look at, but Norman and Miriam go above and beyond by making this store an immersive experience. They were also very kind and helpful and answered all our questions (since we were first time purchasers).Again, I highly highly highly recommend this store, especially if you want to buy unique products/gifts and have fun while doing it!”
“A little gem hidden off the main roads.This place is a lovely little hobby shop, but there are some challenges. It once was a storefront in Evanston, but since moving to its current location, I can see how it could be missed if you are not looking for it. So no sidewalk traffic. BUT for those of us who know it's there, we get all the goodies to ourselves. I do feel that some things don't get restocked because there's so much product in one space, and it may appear that they're trying to sell off all the things they already have, BUT there are things here you won't find at other stores, especially if you are into miniatures and dollhouses.Luckily I don't live far, so I try to swing by everytime I need something. The hours are a bit weird for those of us who work all day, but that's not a deal breaker. Nice staff, quality stuff. Worth the trip, just keep in mind you'll buy stuff you didn't even know you needed or wanted. I rarely leave without spending at least $75. Go visit- looking at all the things is an activity alone.I can't wait to have a daughter someday so I can build a custom dollhouse.”

“This family owned and operated establishment is my one-stop shop for framed sports and music memorabilia. In a world of e-commerce, it’s refreshing when you can enter a place of business and actually converse with the owner, which is exactly what happens at Bleachers. Keith, Patty, and Sam take their family business seriously and consistently exceed my expectations. Dating back to their original storefront in Winnetka and now downtown Wilmette, Bleachers’ art pieces are unique, eye catching, and professionally appointed. Yes, the prints, sports jerseys, and other inventory are rare, but it all really comes together with the expert framing. The matting around the piece always brings out the colors even more, transforming it to a true piece of art that looks wonderful on my home walls. Furthermore, upon request, they will procure rare prints via their network connections. It’s always a pleasant shopping experience at Bleachers in Wilmette. My basement walls would agree.”
“One of the best things about having a hobby is going into a hobby shop and finding that the people working there are even bigger fans than you. They have a great selection of model railroad equipment and much more. Everyone I've spoken to is beyond friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Lyle and Geroge (hope I spelled your names correctly) for really taking their time and providing great customer service.”

“This is a great spot if you are interested in coin collecting. We had coins to sell and Lucas helped us both times we were in the store. He is very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and kind. He shares information and offers fair prices. We will be back.”

“Been visiting this shop for a long time, and the manager is super knowledgeable, really fun to talk to and get into different aspects of the Warhammer hobby. Great events that are posting on their Facebook page with weekly and monthly updates. Highly recommend.”
“Just had the best birthday party for my 5yo, we chose the tie-dye theme package and all the kids had a blast! Staffs were super helpful and the backdrop/photo op was so thoughtful, will definitely come back for more!”
“This was a great end to a tragic loss my husband passed a few months ago and he had gold coins I thought weren't worth very much well I was mistaken to my surprise”

“We went to Archie's to see if they were interested in a variety of items we wanted to sell. The entire experience was excellent and conducted with clarity, great communication, and professionalism. Their offers were fair, and they explained why certain things were not valued as we may have expected. We felt very comfortable there and recommend it others looking for their services.”
“I always love visiting The Forest Needle! The store is so sunny and the ladies that work there are so knowledge and friendly. I just picked up a finished project and I am so happy with the way it turned out! Thank you!”
“I stopped in Michael's this evening to get some supplies for a Halloween party. The woman who helped me at the register was the one of the KINDEST HUMANBEINGS I HAVE MET. She had a goofy sense of humor, was incredibly helpful, and truly MADE MY DAY. I hope she reads this, thank you for being you, I hope the Boston Orioles have fantastic season next year!”
“My experience there was amazing shopping last min for graduation accessories for my princess designs a guy there name dean made my experience dope and successful with only15 mins to shop we found everything we needed. Dumbs up to Michaels. In Skokie your staff rocks”
“Took my Grandson there and now he has his own car and controller. These guys are fantastic and I think my grandson wants to be a racer. Thank you guys for all your help…”
“Thanks Mike for being very kind and very helpful. Special thanks for making me feel like my oddity collection of Pokemon cards was cool too. Not many people like the banned, error, and cards with a story. Really appreciate him answering my questions without missing another customer coming in. All in all, Mike is the example of what everyone should aspire to be - kind for the sake of being kind. Solid dude. I’ll only buy if Mike is there from here forward.”
“Best Hobby Lobby in the area. The Schaumburg and Palatine locations are good too, BUT HOT DAAAAANG, this Niles location is where the party at. Pretty sure I even saw Phil Wickham twerking in the decor aisle. ?”
“Nice place but those self service machines are not so comfortable to use as supposed to. You definitely need to talk to associate a couple times before checkout.”
“Recently purchased a new frame to display my diploma, which I had allowed to languish in the closet for decades and was reminded that in addition to craft items, Michael's also had a frame department. The frame, being oversized, had some built in hangers, but since I didn't feel comfortable with aligning the screw-in units on the wall, I simply wanted an old fashioned wire hanger on the back. Given my experience with other frame shops, I expected I would have to drop it off and come back the following week to pick it up. The young gentleman working in the department, Flavius, surprised me by telling me I could swing back within the hour and pick it up. I went off to do some shopping at the Eddie Bauer Outlet and within a half hour received a phone call from Flavius telling me I could pick up the frame! Thanks, Flavius, for a great experience. Wish all shopping could be this excellent.”
“My family and I went to buy some loose Pokemon cards that my sons were interested in. The cards that they wanted were very random and consisted of Pokemon using all different energies as well as Trainers. The owner Jester was there and he was extremely helpful, helping us find over 30 of the cards that they were looking through by going through binders and loose cards in a box, which was extremely tedious. We've been to many Gamers Worlds where the employees running the store seem like they couldn't care less about their customers. We were fortunate to have the exact opposite experience here and want to thank Jester so much for his kindness and patience!”
“don't quite understand the unpleasant reviews about Mr. Bergman(bergie) I've purchased from him MANY times and have had mostly pleasant interactions, maybe he has to be a certain way in a hobby we're everyone believes they "know more" or has different ideas of what memorabilia is worth, I'll continue to do business with the person who's been doing it longer!”

“Absolutely love this shop! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, everything is beautifully organized and fairly easy to reach and see. I appreciated that they paid attention to what I was getting so they could direct me on where to find similar types of thread. I'm still learning a lot, and I learn something new every time I go!”
