Briar Hanna My friends and I have been coming to this place for years and I think its hands-down the best pawn shop/retro game store in the area. As a pawn shop there is always a variety of eye catching stuff at decent prices. Guitars and amps, stereo setups, jewelry, cameras, comics and so much more. As a retro game store it is a collectors paradise. So many consoles from the 80s-now and a slew of games for each one. Every console comes with a controller and a free game and if anything doesnt work theyll replace it with no questions asked. Current Gen consoles are also frequently sold here at great prices, especially around the holiday season.
Both owners are engaging and amicable though I usually talk to the younger guy, Dom. I can tell that he is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable collector and I really like chatting with him about some of the rarer stuff that comes through the shop. Overall a great place to stop by if youre looking to get into any number of hobbies, expand your collections, trade stuff in, or even just to kill a half-hour in the Utica area.
