We have got a bunch of new Magic the Gathering cards in lately!!! The binders are rather full with all sorts of new cards, as is the showcase! Stop in to find some of those cards that your deck is missing. We may have slightly changed up how they are sorted in the binders, but the influx of new product should more than make up for it. We just refilled the books Tuesday (last) night, so there are sure to be new cards you missed out on. We are here Tuesdays through Fridays 10-8 and Saturdays and Sundays 10-5.

Please know that if you bring any of these items in that we are being selective on, there is a good chance you may be going home with them just because we are overstocked in these areas.

We ARE currently looking for the following items:

- One Piece singles ($1 and up) and sealed product
- Magic the Gathering sealed product
- Pokemon singles ($2 and up), including vintage and foreign, as well as sealed product

- N64 and Gamecube games
- Skylanders
- D&D items (books, figures, modules, etc)
- Warhammer items that we don't already have (books, figures, etc)
- My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop figures
- Monster High dolls
- Lesser seen fandoms of the late '70's through mid '90's action figures (Zoids, Thundercats, Toxic Avengers, various Mego dolls, stuff like that)

Items that we are being VERY selective on (and may turn away right away):

- Comic Books - If you DO bring them in, Sunday is the ONLY day to do so, and ask for Dan.
- Graphic Novels
- Funko Pops
- Loose action figures
- VHS movies
- Lego Minifigures
- Disney Infinity figures

If you don't know if you should bring in your items, you are always welcome to reach out either by calling (best way), email, FB message or text to find out ahead of time.

We prefer that your items be cleaned up and organized. Please have all pieces in baggies along with their main item, systems NOT factory reset ahead of time (but updated if needed, especially XBox systems), battery compartments clean and rust/corrosion free (going to start passing on those immediately until they are cleaned up), stuff like that. It speeds up the process so that we can get through it all quicker.

Remember, we stop doing buys 30 minutes BEFORE we close for the day. We also STOPPED allowing items dropped off overnight - bring in what we can process in the day only. We also reserve the right to ask you to bring back your items if we are backed up - first come, first served. Nights and weekends can be busy, so bring in earlier in the day or week if possible.
