What's on the wall
“One of my favorite places to go to to find niche and rare collectibles, and play on some unique arcade machines.”
What players say again and again
“cutesy little arcade very friendly staff and a good place to see retro games”
From the reviews
I got say one of the coolest shops I've been to. Everywhere you look, there's something to see. Staff is chill but still very helpful. Also, all the prices here are very fair. Most shops charge tons for things like vhs cassettes. I can't wait to go back
More of an 80’s multi media store than a record store. They had everything from vintage gaming consoles to laser discs. Great vibe and a kind staff.
Came in to get my Pokemon battery fixed and ended up with a dojin manga and Gundam Converge model. Great vibes and helpful staff.
One of my favorite places to go to to find niche and rare collectibles, and play on some unique arcade machines. The staff and the owner are very polite and welcoming, The owner makes it clear that this place is a location for everyone from every walk of life, that enjoys subculture.
Selling or trading gear at RATNEST
RATNEST comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
