They got literally every tool in the store and the prices are very cheap and reasonable. Got some good people running it

Extremely friendly staff. Want vintage? This is the place to go! Want games? No shortage of games. Need tools? They have them!!

Excellent prices, wide selection of retro games. I accidentally grabbed the more expensive version of Punch-Out, the guy behind the counter noticed and saved me $30.

I've been going here for years. A++++ to Travis and his minions.....They are very unpressuring type of crew.

Good place with good fair people. Way better than the pawn shops around the area.

Travis is the most honest and decent business person I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with! He is definitely not your typical 2nd hand buyer. He will give you the best rate of an item and even will go above and beyond to help you out! I would absolutely recommend ANYONE go check this place out.

They have some great, slightly used tools and equipment. They have gardening items.

They have been really helpful when I need a random cable or hookup. I'll have something that I can't use without the proper wiring, and they have had exactly what I need.

The other great thing about this store is the amount of collectibles and games. There's always something new when I come in. It's an awesome store run by a really honest guy. 👍

These Men are wonderful. They will do fair business with you, as long as you treat them like how you like being treated. Thanks guys!

Nice couple runs this place. Very friendly. Clean store. Good prices

Great guy, will be honest with you, brutally honest sometimes,  but means it in the best way possible.. I've watched him talk customers out of selling an iteam justbto give more money for then what they was asking because asking to low . Ll great guy great store.

Found this gem today! I collect old game systems and games and this place has it all! The dude working was super chill and took the time to look for a specific DS game for me and hooked me up with a fair price. Will definitely be back!

Super cool place, lots of interesting finds and the workers were very friendly, especially to my 4 year old son and even gave him a free toy car and gave us a great deal on a video game steering wheel setup for my son to pretend on. A lot of similar businesses arent very toddler friendly these days and it was nice change of pace.

Travis and his staff are honest and friendly. They go above and beyond. Its an enjoyable experience each time i go and thats saying something about a trip to a pawn shop!

I don't write reviews often but this place is worth a review. Tons of stuff for people of any hobby, awesome people, and great prices. I'll definitely be returning and I think others should give the place a shot as well, I bet you'll find something you didn't know you wanted or needed when you stop in.

Very nice abd quaint little shop. The employees are very friendly and knowledgeable. I like to spend money locally so this was a great small local business.

Travis is a good guy. He deals fair and honest he backs up anything he sells and gives fair prices on items he buys. I've dealt with him since he opened this shop and I've never had any complaints.  Good choice to do business with

Love this place! I've gotten most of my electronics here and they have worked out very well! The owner/gm is always super helpful and wants to help get you what you want! Will always go here for any of my electronic needs!

This place is super chill, everyone was so nice and fun. They aren't judgmental, and really fair. If you are looking for anything guaranteed they have it or know where to get it. 100% recommend

It is not a big store but it is packed with all kinds of items. The staff was a joy and helpful. They buy lots of items from their customers and know you by name. A place I highly recommend and will visit again.

Don’t think about it, JUST CHECK THE PLACE OUT!
The owner is genuine, nice, and works the best deals around all of Dayton.
Huge inventory with a lot of rare items. They took care of me and have now gained a lifetime customer.

Been going here for 5 years now. Travis is a great guy. You can find random treasures in addition to tools and games.

The owner is almost always in the store and is super nice. The other staff are really kind as well. When we were in there around Thanksgiving, one of the neighbors brought over loads of food and the owner offered it to us. We didn't take any but I've never seen any work place that kind. They're great with my kids when I bring them with me as well. All around, it's a great store

This place is a great selection of different things and has a wide variety. The owner is very friendly and polite. He answers questions if you have any. He buys most things you bring in. This is my go to place when selling.

Trav is an honest guy and runs a respectable business, I've known him for a few years now he's never changed  respectable, honest, fair, stand up guy. I've sent a lot of people his way just because of the way he does business and again I would vouch for this business and for this man and his associates.

The owner is awesome ,down to earth , and willing to barter. He gives reasonable prices on stuff you sell and sells his own selection of products at great prices. And he has an extremely large selection of goods available.  This will always be my first stop when it comes to pawn stores. They stay open til 7 pm usually which is good too.

Travis is a good person and does everyone fair i belive and a respectful person and I don't belive its  because I know where he lives because he doesn't know I know but a 90s orange corvette sticks out like a sore thumb but great place for tools games and everything in between im a regular

Since second time around has closed indefinitely, this place is the best place to get second hand video game accessories and more. The staff is super friendly and extremely helpful. And all the prices are reasonable and the staff in some cases will work with you on the price. Definitely check them out.

There is a great selection of items to but from here. I was looking for video games and they have so many for each system from the old school to the modern consoles.

The workers were fun to talk to and very friendly. They helped with recommendations and cleaning the disc as I was checking out.

I will visit them again when I make my way to Dayton again.

A safe location with parking arrangements ~30 feet away? -- many convenience --

An extensive inventory of appropriately priced merchandise? -- such choice --

Capable, well-informed service providers who *figuratively* d r i p in honesty, integrity and authenticity? -- every knowledge --

The owner is a genuine good decent & very fair man. Good sense of humor to. I lmao every time I'm their. If your looking to buy or sell any goods it's basically your one stop shop.

Great store with about anything you can think of, from hardware tools to retro consoles. Staff members are polite and professional. Came there to buy a pair of adidas shoes. I was provided information about the shoes and their authenticity. Highly recommend to any consumer to stop by and see what they have to offer.

This is my 1st choice to buy or sell! You can shop online or in store. Their hours are great (open later than most resale/pawn shops). Parking is store front or very close on side of building. & Travis ALWAYS tries to meet your expectations in regards to your purchase and/or something your trying to sell!

The guys were friendly and polite. Instead of just selling me anything they asked what type of area I was heating and their suggestions have allowed me to heat more efficiently over previous years which without a doubt will be much kinder to my wallet. I have no furnace just very old baseboard heaters without screens. With a 5 yr old and a challenges adult who tends to hoard in his room they are a fire waiting to happen. I thought I knew what I wanted but instead I followed Travis's advice. One heater heats 3 room without working endlessly and a smaller heats two. Beats heaters in every room and have had to even turn them down and am able to turn off without those rooms freezing even when it's been down in the 20's at night. 2 heaters ended up costing much less to buy than 6 but also were very reasonable in price. Honesty that isn't present in most small neighborhood stores is present in that one.  This store has everything from tools, kitchen necessities, game consoles with everything that goes with them from vintage to the newest fads out there as well as impossible games to find. No need for Game Stop. I just can't say enough for what they stock as well as knowledge of the products carried. Thank you Travis you guys rock! This is my new go to spot for everything. (They even have electric guitars and amps, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, toys, air compressors, carpet kickers, saws,sanders,etc... there isn't much missing in this store).

Love this place, all the prices are fair. They're an honest business and seem to really care about doing the best they can for you. Travis (owner)is an awesome guy, and another pretty awesome thing he does is donate unwanted items. Say you bring something in, he can't use and you don't really care to drag back home with you, he will donate it. I would definitely check this place out, they have a huge variety of things to buy and sell..... It's not a pawnshop! Just fyi

Travis & and the crew are awesome and they have such a variety of things at reasonable prices. They work with you, they're always friendly and I mean it's just a good place to sell or buy things, one of my favorites for sure. Thanks you guys, all of you are amazing!!♥️

The owner of this store is a wonderful person. If he doesn't have what you're looking he doesn't hesitate to try to recommend other local businesses that might have it.  He's very knowledgeable about his store and willing to help you find something to fill all your needs while still helping you save money.

These guys can always solve my problem.

They sold all my stuff online for me.

Consignment Jedis.

The owner went above and beyond to help my 10 year old son and I figure out what was wrong with our PS4 console. He is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend 1st Rate 2nd Hand and will definitely be back.

They are great. I asked about a game they had and they set it aside for me to come get. They were very nice and knowledgeable. They even tried the items I bought in front of me so I could see that they worked before I left. They also didn't mind my five year old son playing their arcade game over and over. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for anything.

Fair prices when buying or selling. Owner has a great sense of humor...

There is a lot of different stuff. Most of it is priced decent, and the owner will work with you on other stuff.

There are a lot of really interesting items and its a local small business. Seems like a good place to buy, sell, and trade.

Nice stop whole visiting in town. Very crowded and full of vintage items, tools, signs, av equipment, and gaming consoles and games. A little pricey but they have older things you may not find elsewhere.

Great place to go if you got stuff laying around and need some extra $$$. Travis is the man very kind, knowledgeable. Now I'm saying that they will buy anything and everything. But like I said it's a great place great people and good reasonable prices both selling and buying stuff. So if you need some extra cash for the upcoming holidays or you need to buy some gifts stop by and give him a try.

So far so good. Nothing bad to say about this small little shop. While in this time of need and pandemic. They chose to remain open and help people like myself get by,  by being able to sell items no longer needed to make a quick buck.
This really helps. Seeing how i have yet to receive a single stimulus payment from the government.

Super friendly staff. Lots of cool stuff. Some of the prices are a bit high for second things in my mind. Take that with a grain of salt though, I may just be the typical consumer they want something for nothing.

I didn't even know this place existed until today. It has some nice tools, collector items,but it's hard to get around in the store.

The way the owner talked to the employee really put me off this place. I get that the guy was kinda clueless, but like, he was really going in on him. I’ve bought from here in the past and had a good experience, so maybe this was just a one off on a bad day, but it was still a bit much for me, and I probably won’t return.

I blame Jeremy Shockey. Feel free to bring them back.

Large selection. Friendly people for sure. Can’t vouch for condition of anything they have. Most stuff is priced way to high. I bought 2 games from there, they cleaned them, only for me to get back to my house and both of them don’t work. Only recommend stopping by to see if they have anything specific you’re looking for or you want to make some quick cash off your old power tools.

My partner and I definitely appreciate how courteous the staff were with us when we walked in! I am a little dissappointed with the employee's inability to identify the laptop/tablet duo we were attempting to sell. We gave him the name and model information, but he did not seem convinced it was the same product. I believe this hindered us from getting the fair amount we were hoping to recieve. He said if we went to a pawn shop we'd be lucky to get $70 for it, but when we went to MR. Pawn in Dayton we walked out with $150 within minutes. Would not recommend for reason being lack of experience with certain products and their value.
