The Upkeep Games

Brought a large stack of some mid-era pokemon cards to trade in towards a card in the case. Apparently out of 300 cards only one was up to their standards condition wise and they wanted to give me bulk price. I trade in a lot to their other stores so granted a lot of the cards were in MP-HP and I was expecting them to pass on stuff under $3 some but somehow we glossed over everything in 10 minutes? There were still a good number of cards worth $5-$15 even in damaged condition. I get stuff might not sell immediately because it’s not modern or a full art but you’re a chain and have everything listed to TCG Player and it can be looked up purchased online or at any location. It’s sad I live much closer to this location but I’ll drive 30 mins to the Canton Upkeep or farther out to RIW at least they can take the time to check what I got and give me a fair offer.

I checked out this local game store over the weekend and had a pretty decent experience. The place isn’t huge, but they’ve got a solid mix of board games, trading cards, and video game stuff. I was mainly looking for some retro titles and they actually had a few I haven’t seen in a while. Prices seemed fair compared to what I’ve seen online. The guy behind the counter was easy to talk to and didn’t hover, which I appreciate. It did take a minute to find what I needed since things are kinda packed in there, but overall I left satisfied and would probably come back again.

My nephew was visiting from out of town and went to the Ann Arbor location to sell some Riftbound cards. He got what he thought was a good deal and he was happy. The store called him the next day to say they undervalued some of the cards by mistake and actually owed him more money. It was not a small amount, either. I think that kind of integrity says a lot for the employees and management of this store. Thank you!

Very Clean and Roomy Store. Tournament/Gaming area looked very spacious. Great Selection of Board Games and TcG game accessories and supplies. Employee at register was very friendly and attentive.

I only like coming in when Rosemary is working. The young boys who work there have 0 customer service/communication skills or charisma which always makes me feel very unwelcome when asking to see something or simple questions. Also, I find it hard to believe that their distro upcharges them thus causing pricing to be way above MSRP seeing as they have been a well-established TCG chain before the hype.
