M & M Video Games Clearwater

"Pros: • Clean environment • impressive selection from almost every major console in the last 30 years • items conditions are labeled clearly • all items are in protective packaging or in a case • staff is mostly friendly • not entirely overwhelming Cons: • pricing is random and or non negotiable for some items that are high above market value and exceeds price charting and eBay ‘sold listings’ (which is a horrible method for obvious reasons) • every visit I’ve been here, the staff has been inattentive beyond a greeting and will be on their phones on discord talking to others, watching YouTube videos, and sometimes talking with other staff (obviously fine for the last thing) • I’ve heard some weird offhand comments to customers from the staff that range from rude and aggressive to sexist, and borderline creepy. • got into an argument with the staff at this location a few weeks back when I bought a game and said I was glad the price went down for this game and they replied “you’re just trying to buy us cheap and resell aren’t you?” (As if this business doesn’t do that…but that’s how the game market is with these media influencer gen x - millennial - zoomer investor types) • reading other reviews and talking with friends regarding the usage of staff using their system to track down customer info for their own solicitation is beyond inexcusable. Especially that review of the owner’s friend who used the number of the customers account to find their discord and to attempt to hit them up. That’s beyond weird and I hope in time the presentation of the store in high quality will be the standard of high quality needed for customer interaction and hospitality. Stop using sold eBay listings that aren’t confirmed sales for your prices as well as unrealistic price chart pricing. I understand yall need to make a profit, and yall do price items fairly on most stuff that’s modern, but I guess it takes months to years for yall to update some of your prices and it feels less like a store and more a museum."

"Drove a little over an hour to check this place out. Called before the drive to make sure they were open. Arrived to a sign on the door stating “be back in 5-10 mins” waited around a while for nothing. Checked the door just in case they forgot to take the sign down. Unfortunately we left without going in. Luckily it allowed us to check out some of the other cool video games stores around the area."

"Drove out a little ways to their Clearwater store ready to pick up Sapphire. It was in even better condition than they described, but there was an issue with the game. Jon and Birdo went WELL above and beyond to remedy the situation to an incredible degree. I am ecstatic and recommend this store to anyone, they have one of the best selections of rare and unique titles, as well as standards and classics, in the area"

"Really cool store! They have amazing selection, really good pricing, and knowledgeable staff who are full of knowledge. They also have really old consoles and games available for sale, too. Worth to check out!"

"Loved this place. Definitely the cleanest and most well-organized stores I've been to in a long time. It reminded very much of the game stores I visited in Japan - all the games we individually sealed in a bag, games and cases were in great condition, èach game was priced, each system had it's own shelf display, cool and rare items were in display cases. They also had a couple tables for collectible card game events. The employee was nice and helpful. The only downside is you won't find any bargains here - everything is pretty much priced at its current value. It's great if you are looking for some specific games, in excellent condition, for your collection."
