A while ago, my nephews had accidentally dropped my 3DS down the stairs. This 3DS had Pokemon home, and all of my childhood Pokemon were on it. I gave it to the poor gamer and asked if they could fix it up. Upon looking at it, they unfortunately couldn't without everything costing $400+ However, I ended up getting another 3DS and asked if they could do a data transfer. They quoted me $20. The time the repair took was a bit longer than originally expected. Best believe I was stressing-- an inside joke within my friends and I was that my Pokemon were in "life saving surgery" haha I eventually got my 3DS back and, after redownloading Pokemon Bank, all my mons were safe! They were immediately sent to Home. I'm really glad they helped me out. I couldn't find any advice online. I'll be returning eventually to give the repair guy a good tip for helping me out! :)

I understand as a reseller for years and doing business with game stores of how things go. Take not I have shopped and sold to this store before even prior to this incident I sold them like 100 games and accessories for a good price. I brought in more games and systems, I spoke to them I resell etc well I received an offer I didn’t want to take on the systems so I told them I would keep the systems and just sell the other stuff. Well since I gave them such a good deal before they didn’t like I didn’t want to give my systems for that cheap. They said they didn’t want the other stuff if not with systems. I ended selling the 2 systems soon after leaving for the price they have gave me for everything which is as 4 systems. Week or so goes by since I’m always getting stuff I brought some of the old stuff and some new stuff to resale. Was given a price from the guy but once the female noticed it was my stuff she wanted to give 1/3 less just because was me. That’s very unprofessional. I understand it’s a business which I run one too and I always sell to resellers so there’s always room for profit but that’s rude and disrespectful. All because I don’t want to give things away for almost nothing. I know the comps and know what 30% is. Just becaise was my stuff wanted to offer even less because I didn’t want to sell them systems they offered too low for. If someone tries to sell you something and don’t agree on the price doesn’t mean you then now offer less for all their things or be petty about the situation. Never had a business do this, forcing someone to sell all their items at a bulk price or nothing that’s extortion. Should be itemized list which have received at many other game Poor Gamer or Jew Gamer.

My son and I came in to check the place out and we had a great experience. Matt is very knowledgeable and he is fair with his pricing. My son traded in some games and received fair offers and then he bought a new VR Headset and was excited about the quality and price of what he got. I highly recommend The Poor Gamer and will certainly be returning.
