GameStop is a home base away from home for gamers, offering new and used video games, consoles, controllers, and accessories for all major systems including retro gaming. It is a spot for trading cards and pop culture merchandise like collectibles, apparel, and board games. Customers can sell or trade their old items for cash or store credit, including graded collectibles. The store is often described as having amazing service with staff that is always very helpful and willing to explain things. Many report very positive experiences with the staff and note a lot of cool deals, though prices are sometimes considered just meh. The store allows trade-ins, so the stock is usually full of used games and consoles for cheaper prices. However, some mention that products, like a used keyboard, can arrive dirty and require cleaning. The store environment is noted by some to smell worse than a high school classroom but is also a place where one can feel at home.
