If you have any rare video games or Pokemon cards you are looking to sell, this is the place to do. If you are looking to purchase rare Pokemon singles or old video games, this is your place. As long as the stuff you are bringing in is in good condition, they will get you a good deal for your goods. The staff here is super friendly, and very helpful. I came initially to sell some old Wii games and my PS4 games. I'm used to selling stuff at GameStop and getting back hardly anything. Not the case here. The owner even bumped up the selling price for some of the games I was selling, cause he said

This place is simply the best. Manny and his staff are kind, knowledgeable, and patient! Such an easy experience; they offered me a more than fair price for my Pokémon cards and video games. It was such a pleasure going there that my wife and I went back to purchase our favorite N64 game. Don’t go anywhere else this place is seriously the best ! Thanks Throwback Gamez

Drove an hour and was not disappointed! They had the exact handheld I was looking for in amazing condition. I’ve been playing non-stop, and haven’t had any issues. It was well tested! Thank you again and I hope to stop by soon <3

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this establishment with the intention of expanding my N64 game collection, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The extensive selection of classic games available is truly remarkable. I was particularly struck by the sheer volume of Sega Genesis titles on offer, an uncommon sight these days. Browsing the store evoked a strong sense of nostalgia, reminding me of my past experiences renting console games from Blockbuster. Furthermore, I found the prices to be quite reasonable, and the customer service was exemplary. I fully intend to return on my ne

Fantastic place for og and newer games, the staff is crazy knowledgeable and super friendly. Best place in Southern California to get modded consoles of all types hdmi out and what not WITH WARRANTIES they even take custom orders for custom modded handhelds and consoles . I buy all my games from this place and when am done I trade them back to get more games or consoles for the future. It’s also the only place I go for Pokémon cards , graded or sealed packs new and old and well pretty much all my collectables to. If you go somewhere else for anything of these things your making a mistake 😂

Manny and the other guys there are always so welcoming and willing to help you find what you need. It's cool that they post new game tade- ins as soon as they get them in on their Instagram page, so you always know if the game you've been looking for is there. They are always willing to put something on hold for the day if you call and ask. I always want to support small businesses where I can. These guys run pretty much solely on game trades which is cool. I'd rather sell to them so someone else can easily enjoy games. Love going here and I hope they stay around for a long time.

Had such a nice experience at this game store. Bought a copy of super castlevania in box and owner was nice enough to give a discount since the box was in rough shape. Owner is also so nice and down to earth. Will definitely hit this place up again next time I’m in Oceanside! Support local!
