We sell your stuff for you and take a 30% cut of any sales. It takes a bit longer for you to get paid, but you earn more for your items.

Accepting the Appraisal

Receipt of the items by us implies agreement to our policies and consignment agreement, as well as an agreement that we may begin selling those items. If there is a delay in you responding to our appraisal, this may mean that some items begin to sell before payment is made.

- Very friendly staff, knowledgeable, huge selection, some great deals, will definitely be back.read moreread lessPaul P.3/17/2024Super friendly game shop where the employees not only want to be there but actually want to answer your questions and assist you in finding what you're looking for. They've got an amazing selection from new to used, and they're used stuff is priced to move, not to sit on their shelves and collect dust. They got everything from Warhammer 40K all the way down to fancy decks of cards for solitaire. If you need a new figure to round out your army or some new dice that aren't going to keep rolling bad for you, this is definitely a place to come and to start your shopping at. Witnessed a customer point out that figures they were selling didn't have their bases with them and where other shops would have come up with some excuse and then made you pay separately for them they apologized went into the back grabbed what was needed and finished ringing them up. The only concern are their customers aren't as friendly as the employees. One young man kept yelling at people who would stop and take a look at his army as he was setting up telling people not to get so close and not to linger. It's also kind of cramped in there, so be ready to smell all the grossness on the unwashed masses that are slowly coming out of their parents' basement to come into the public for a few hours. Don't hold their customers against them this shop deserves your business way more than GameWorks or most game shops in the Portland area.read moreread lessBen J.3/14/2024
