Game Crazy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: traded in a 3ds a while back. This shop gave me a better price for it then any video game store I've been too, and they sell stuff for better prices then most. The guy behind the counter was very knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. would definitely recommend going here to anyone who enjoys gaming, new or old.
Thank you for sharing and glad we could help with your gaming needs!! We give you 5⭐️’s too!
Fantastic experience: Super cool store. My go to for games
Thank you for your business and the 5 star review too!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this place for a few years now. The costumer service here is amazing, they dont always have all the games that I want but they have a pretty good amount of games especially for older systems, and a few for newer systems like PS5 and xbox series x, I bought a PS3 here a couple years ago and it still works perfectly fine I now have probably 10+ games for it. If your looking for a place with amazing prices and older games and consoles this is definitely the place to go.
Glad to hear that PS3 is still working!! Appreciate you and thanks for the great review too!
Fantastic experience: Good experience. Friendly owners. Had some Dreamcast controllers in stock! Nice to see a decent amount of Sega stuff there.
Aww! Thank you! Welcome to the area! We appreciate the 5 stars ⭐️
Fantastic experience: Thank you for your help. These games were just collecting dust. $30 feels better anyways. Also, thank you for your quick reply and quote.
Yeah no problem! Thank you for the ⭐️’s!
Fantastic experience: Question do u do trades for cash ive always buy games there but never traded for cash?
Yes we do! Really depends on the game or system. Thank you for the ⭐️’s
Fantastic experience: Great place to go if you're looking for games. Super helpful and very nice. Definitely will be going back for sure!
Thanks Jonathan! Glad you came by! Appreciate the 5⭐️
Negative experience: Was a complete jerk when I tried to trade in games and ripped me off. DO NOT GO HERE.NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY OR TIME. DO NOT SHOP HERE.
That’s so not true! You tried to sell games but you mislead us about what the condition was of your stuff! And I didn’t buy anything from you today or offer anything! So not a rip off!
Fantastic experience: Great selection,awsome service. Glad to see he is still in business.
Thanks! Appreciate giving us a review and for stopping by!
Fantastic experience: I was very happy with selling my games here fair price and Jeff seemed to know right away what kind of games he was interested in so I was in and out very fast. Very professional!
So glad we could help you!! Thanks for coming in!
Fantastic experience: Reminds me of how game stores used to be when I was a kid. Now my child likes to go there too. Will be back after we get our PlayStation 1 back from the repair shop.
That’s awesome!! Glad you are keeping the retro experience alive!!!
Positive experience: Nice small used video game store.
Fantastic experience: Great selection great atmosphere, way better than Gamestop nowadays, I found the game I wanted instantly I will come again
Glad you came in! Thanks for the great review!!!
Fantastic experience: Great place to find retro stuff!
Fantastic experience: Got games for older PSP and Nintendo DS. It's great to buy used, pay less, and get items you can't get anywhere else!
Thank you!! Glad we had some retro treasures for you!
Fantastic experience: Since I 2003 the same guy to get the games I need/fixed checked or even verified He's still never has let me down and always love coming to his store Reminds me of being a kid and the amount of care he gives hasn't changed even now as a grown adult He still treats and reminds me of the good Ole days Great place and look forward to my next visit
Thank you! It’s been a long time serving the gaming community so I have seen lots of people go from kid to adult! But I’ve never aged!!! We appreciate you coming to our game store and for the 5 stars too!!
Fantastic experience: Went here on a hunt for older Video Game stuff, and found something I’ve been wanting for a while. A GBA for only $90, that’s a great price,considering what other people list it for. I also got an NES game, and the guy was so nice that he gave me a small discount on the game. I think I’m gonna make this my main video game store besides GameStop. This guy has a lot of cool things, and the prices are super fair. I would very highly recommend.
Oh wow!! Thank you! Appreciate you guys and the great review too!
Fantastic experience: A true gem in Salem! This is hands down my favorite game store. The selection is great, the prices are always fair, and the atmosphere is welcoming and fun. The owners are incredibly kind (and they both have a great sense of humor) and I genuinely enjoy the conversations had in the store. I always look forward to stopping in!
Wow! Thank you for the kind words and great review!!! Appreciate you guys!!!
Fantastic experience: Love game crazy, I feel they're super fair in terms of pricing and trade value. Really kind people.
Wow! Thank you for great review!! Appreciate you coming in!!
Fantastic experience: Cool mom and pop shop with retro games and memorabilia. I have gone in several times and the staff is always helpful and are fun to talk with. This has been my go to spot to score games from my youth and I haven't had any issues with my purchases, but the staff always reminds me if I do they will make it right
Hey thanks Joe! We appreciate you giving us a review and for coming to see us!!!
Fantastic experience: Sick.
Thanks! One word says it all!!
Fantastic experience: I'm going to travel across the country soon just to go here. Because I'm crazy for game crazy! And I miss the 90s!
Awesome! Look forward to seeing you!!
Fantastic experience: Great selection of games and accessories for all platforms. A little bit pricey but was able to get what I wanted the same day.
Woohoo! Thanks for the Stars! I'd love to sell for a bit less but that means paying less and that leads to less trades! Appreciate you buying from us!
Fantastic experience: Love game crazy!!! I stumbled upon an original game boy in rough shape recently, didn't even know if it worked. Brought it in and asked if I could try out a game before I made a purchase, "no problem". Stuck in tetris and fired it up, worked like a charm! Even better they had spare parts (screen protector/frame) that made it look like 1989 again. Also prices are super reasonable. I've bought games here from the NES-era up to current times (well my current anyway, which means this century ha!) and have always had a good experience. Thanks game crazy!
Glad we could get that classic new life!! Thanks for the 5 stars!! We appreciate it!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place i miss the one in keizer but the one in salem never let's me down. I would love to do a video vlog
Negative experience: The store was closed during store hours
So sorry about that! There was a car accident at our driveway and we could not get out. We are open now. 11:40.
Positive experience: For all your old school game needs best around
Thanks Carlos! We appreciate your review!!
Positive experience: Got all the nostalgic games from when i was a kid growing up got my stepson a 3DS for Christmas and he's gonna be psyched
Fantastic experience: Great place to find somthing from all gaming consoles. Knowledgeable staff and reasonable prices. Lots of cool stuff to look at as far as Collectibles as well.
Appreciate your great review!! Thank you!!!
Negative experience: Very depressing.
Oh my?! Here!!?? Maybe I’ll bring some video games in to liven things up!
Positive experience: Overall this is a good store with decent selection and slightly higher prices than normal. The wall of PS3/PS4/XboxOne/Xbox360 titles is honestly one of the coolest displays I've seen, I really love when stores show off their library like that. Most titles here are in great condition, which partially helps explain why they're about 5-10 dollars more expensive than other stores in Oregon. Apparently this store was broken into and lost some inventory. I hope they're able to regain their stolen games and hopefully bring the prices down a little. The cashier was nice and patient with me as I browsed the store, even offering to buffer some of the games I had already picked while I browsed the store. The only reason I'm knocking a star off is because two of the Xbox games I did find were missing the game discs, which kinda sucked. I hope the store can recover their lost inventory and hopefully show off an even cooler wall of titles in the future.
Thank you for the review!!!
Negative experience: Don't buy from them, I thought they were legitimate game sellers but guess not. I have bought Xbox360 games from them before and they had no issue, but then I got Halo, the game read, showed the menu and then when I start a campaign it's just an infinite loading screen. this happened TWICE with Mario Kart 8 too, mind you! I think they're selling bootleg discs that have menus, and read, but don't actually play just to scam people from their money. Scummy.
Sorry to hear you received a game that didn’t work on your system. We warranty our games and systems in case there are any problems. Feel free to bring them back. We do all we can to make sure our customers are getting what they pay for and that includes taking every measure possible to rule out fake games as we are NOT in the bootleg business.
Negative experience: I've sold things here and I've always gotten the feeling that whoever is working didn't want to help me or be there. I gave zero reason to be treated like a pest. I work in customer service and I don't get the attitude because you have to do your job.
well we always strive to offer the best customer service. I hope when and if you return we do better for you!
Fantastic experience: Great place to buy from. Good prices and people. Thank you
Awesome review! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My son loves this place always so friendly and my son goes home happy is the best
Aww! ☺️ That’s awesome! Thanks for bringing him in!
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here since 2017. I love collecting games for handhelds, and there is SO MUCH to choose from and new inventory coming in often. Great selection, reasonable prices and the owners are so friendly. I was actually able to snag Silent Hill 2 for a great price, and I'm pretty sure this store alone birthed my love for the PS2. This place has a piece of irreplaceable gaming history, giving me so much nostalgia for the days where I could purchase a DS game and excitedly read the booklet while I ride back home. I will happily give this place all my fun money.
☺️ Aww!! Thank you for sharing this!!! Your kind words and great review mean a lot to us!!
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for years, since I was just a kid. Prices are fair and you’ll always find some heavy’s or hidden gems in here.
Thanks!!! Appreciate you and the review too!
Positive experience: Love this place but today i went to buy sum games for good old times but when I got there at 11 am it was close, so I waited and wait and it was still closed so I sadly walked home empty handed but no hate ig
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here since I was 18. I'm now 24, I know the owners, they always greet me with a warm smile, and they treat me with respect. Their prices are unbeatable, sometimes the selection is limited, but rarely. Never have I gone in and not found something to take home. Stop giving game stop all the hype, start supporting local businesses, especially game stores, because besides game stop there are so so few, and game crazy provides a relieving sense of nostalgia/variety that'll let you relive the days where you had more options on where to get your games. You'll feel welcome here, and you're bound to find something awesome.
Hey ! Thanks for the great review!always great to see you stop in!
Fantastic experience: The owners are so very kind to us and my autistic son❣️ Makes the experience amazing!! We will always come back!
Aww! Thanks for the great review!!! We appreciate you guys!!!
Fantastic experience: I reached out to this gentleman from a local guys video I had seen with an item he had in his shop. It was awesome to do business with him. And he packed the item extremely well ! Was a very rare piece to aqcuire but glad to finally own this in my collection!
Thanks for the great review! So glad it has a forever home!
Negative experience: I bought a 2ds here claiming that it was a part of a super Mario’s 2 set. Took it out the box and the game was defective and the 2ds was not what it was on the box. If you’re looking for a system don’t buy here!! YOU WILL GET A DEFECTED SYSTEM AND/OR GAMES!! AGAIN DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM HERE!!
Luckily there’s a 30 day return policy covering defects! Been selling games and systems since 2003 and we pride ourselves in taking care of our customers. We try hard to make sure of the quality of products but sometimes issues can and will arise. You bought one system from us so to say all of our stuff is defective is just wrong! Come back in and you’ll be well cared for.
Fantastic experience: The place of legend. This is a business that deserves the praise and respect for all the years that Game crazy has served. I could not imagine a life without game crazy. This place is of legend. Period. Gamers come all, come quickly, to Oregon's Game crazy and pay your respects and buy some games. All consoles and games have been top notch.
Wow! We appreciate you and this review!! Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: I came here as a little kid omg this place changed my little life
Awesome!!
Fantastic experience: Traded in some items and I got a very fair return in store credit, then came back with some magazines that were accepted with a smile. Very friendly and polite. Was able to find quite a few things as well as was shocked they had certain items, would recommend to anyone looking for older gaming items
Thanks for the great review Captain!!!
Fantastic experience: Not only did they have the game we were looking for, I found out they can change the batteries in my old Gameboy cartridges that have died for $10 a game! I'm looking forward to getting them fixed!
Awesome!! Glad you stopped by! Thank you for the 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: I got foraz Horizon 4 and fallout 4 For 21.90 good price and the Cashier was nice
Awesome! Thank you enjoy!
Fantastic experience: I only pop in maybe once a year, but I’ve always had a good experience and can usually find something I’m excited about. Always friendly. My husband and I came in to look at some games and trade in some stuff… well we completely forgot to grab our PS4 on the way out! Luckily the owner (I’m assuming) is honest and I picked it up the next day. Thank you!
Thanks for the great review! Glad you guys stop in every now and again!!!
Positive experience: Always enjoy this place as there aren't enough 2nd hand game stores around. And even less places that do buffing. Seems like it was maybe a bad day for the owner, or an issue with people with special needs. Unsure. But either way a good place to go. Maybe not if you need some disc's buffed out. As there seems to be a worry about buffing taking "all day"
Ouch!! Any disappointment you saw was because I was worried it was a lost cause and hate giving false hope! That’s why we charged for only 2 of the 5 cleaned. No bad day or hating! I appreciate everyone who gives us a chance to serve their video game needs!
And also his disc for Cash was still on the counter It turned out very nice! Pick it up with our apologies any time!!! And thank you for your review!! Love to get feedback!
Negative experience: Product stock doesn't change, prices are not the greatest, store is very dingy. Hasn't improved in over 8 years.
Well stock must be moving in and out or we wouldn’t be open! We strive to offer the best sales price possible as compared to what we purchase items for. Our carpet could be replaced but we clean everyday and games and systems are all cleaned before being stocked alphabetically.
We’ve seen six competitors go out of business in our 10 years of owning this game store that has been around since 1994! I think customers like us to be consistent!
Sorry we haven’t met your standards but we will always strive to do our best! Hope you keep giving us a chance! Thanks for the review too!
Fantastic experience: Classic consoles and games as well as current games/accessories honestly gamer heaven considering all other shops phased out gameboys, snes, nes,n64 good to know there’s a place around with them! Picked up a brand new ps2 game today and I was stoked!
So glad you came in! Thanks for the great review!
Fantastic experience: Nostalgia, good prices and, still working on in store credit. Just like at GameStop. But nobody has classic games like them.
Hey! Thank you for the awesome review!! Appreciate you!
Negative experience: Don’t waste your money or time I went there a few days ago to get a ps4 controller for my boyfriend.They told me there was only one left. After i bought it they told me when opened I could not return it or get a refund I was a little surprised they didn’t say that before i bought it. But now I know why the controller was broken in multiple spots so disappointed.
Negative experience: I've been in there 3 times,not real impressed. Just don't have my kind of gaming equipment
Well we try to sell all things retro that are worth reselling in the game world!
Fantastic experience: Picked up a wireless controller yesterday for my GameCube, owner said he highly recommended the brand, definitely going back for another one next payday
Nothing better than A+ controller to make retro gaming truly epic!
Thank you for the great review!
Fantastic experience: I like this shop. It's old school cool with a bunch of retro games, neat stuff too.
Hey thanks for that! Glad you came in!
Fantastic experience: Nothing wrong with this place.
That is a great review! Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Huge selection, friendly staff, accepts trade-ins.
Right on!! Thanks Logan!!
Negative experience: Went in recently. The two people working there didn’t seem friendly. Kinda rude actually. Won’t be going there again.
Sorry you didn’t have a good experience. We strive to maintain a high level of customer service.
Fantastic experience: Great people running store. Great selection of systems and games. fair prices
Thanks! Another great customer giving us a great review!
Fantastic experience: Honestly love this shop the owner is knowledgeable and friendly. This shop offers services that competitors just don’t. Needed a battery replaced on a GBA game not only did he have all the parts on hand he installed the replacement during my visit. Weather you need a obscure vintage console cable or a hard to find vintage game give this shop a visit you won’t regret it they have an excellent selection!
Wow! Thanks for your kind words and five star review!
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Th eyes have many choices and have tons of consoles!

We sure appreciate you! Thanks for the great review!!
Fantastic experience: We went in and traded some old games and bought some new ones. Very clean and the guy was very nice and friendly!
Glad you guys came to visit us! Thanks for the great review too!
Fantastic experience: Always has good games to buy and great customer service and also whenever you get a game whether it’s ps2 or Xbox 360 the games like face breaker that have no scratches on them ever and also have everything you need whether it’s controllers for a Xbox 360 or it’s color cords for the Xbox 360 as well which is better than most old game stores. 100% recommend coming here for your gaming needs!
Negative experience: My 17yo son has been going here for years to buy and sell games. Recently he sold them a Playstation 4pro with 3 controllers and 24 games. He was given 145$ in cash and 140$ in store credit. When he returned to use his credit , it wasn't there! He was totally ripped off. We won't be shopping here anymore and feel betrayed for being loyal customers these 10 years.
This just isn’t true. After your call we searched for every customer who sold any ps4 system and none of them matched the names you gave us. I couldn’t even find any single person who sold over 20 ps4 games at one time!
And he would have needed to be 18 or older to get cash with ID.
Best for you to come in with your son if you want us to look into this further. Under the names you provided we’ve never bought anything.
Fantastic experience: Fun place, nice staff.
Hey! Awesome!! Thank you for the great review!!
Fantastic experience: The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They have a wide variety of used games at decent prices.
So glad you enjoyed your visit! We appreciate your great review!! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Everytime I come here the owner is so friendly and helpful, they’re also responsive on google which is awesome! Overall this is my favorite local video game store for sure
Negative experience: I got scammed $1 for injustice 2 legendary edition
It’s not expensive. DLC is not reusable so it’s not legendary anymore either. Plus you bring your stuff in and I tell you how much I’ll pay. You can say yes or no. No scam.
Negative experience: This guy was extremely rude and didn't give me all my money back for what I paid for new item that I never used. He scams people BE CAREFUL
Sorry! Paid you $12 on a $20 item without a receipt that I haven’t sold since April of 2021. I did you a favor because I don’t even sell that item anymore!
Fantastic experience: Ma and Pa style “GameStop”. Old school games galore. They have pretty much anything you need video game wise!
Wow! Thanks for the great review and the five stars!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to game crazy for a year now and I must say it is an awesome stores. The owner is nice and helpful, the game are clean, and at a good price. Game crazy is a must go store for reto fan in Salem

Fantastic experience: Great trades and Awesome store love it:)
Thanks for the great review!!
Fantastic experience: Great place and great workers
Appreciate you and the great review!
Fantastic experience: For some reason I was scrolling through the reviews and was reading a bunch of 1 star ratings over not being polite, overly priced, not a big selection, and outrageous story’s that were shortly fact checked by the owner (which I find hilarious!) who in my experience has always been kind and a good guy along with his wife. The store may not have the EXACT game you were looking for but the store has a huge selection of games for almost every system with decent prices that if you were to go on Amazon and purchase would be 3x the price. I also see people complaining about how they only got $2 for a $5.99 game… these people need to make a profit to have a business, that’s why it’s called BUSINESS and if you thought that coming here you were going to get $20 for a game you paid $20 for I pray you don’t start a business. But anyway I love this place, I don’t come in too often as I’m not a constant video game player but when I’m in the mood to get a new game this is the first place I go to for the good prices, nice selection of games, good customer service, and truthful management.
Wow! Now that’s a review!! Thank you for the kind words!! Becky and I truly appreciate it!!
Positive experience: Very well presented with a giant variety of stuff, but the prices were higher than I've seen at other local game stores.
Thank you for the review! We have built a reputation for paying customers fair prices for trades and we do our best to sell games and systems in the very best condition possible as well as competitive prices. Hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: It was fun place
Thank you for coming in!!
Fantastic experience: Although they didn't have what I was looking for the staff was very friendly and they had a bunch of stuff I didn't know I wanted until I saw it. It was like a time machine for retro games. Do not skip out on this place if you're looking for retro games, this store had some gems and I wish I had the money to buy another N64 or Dream Cast. I'm sure things come and go often so check back and call in before heading in, the staff is very helpful and friendly.
Hey thanks for the great review! We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: The very last Game Crazy! Still in Salem, still going strong, still offering a great selection of both current and older consoles and games, and still has great customer service. I would much rather visit this store than Game Stop under any circumstances. Thank you Game Crazy!
Fantastic experience: They were professional, they have safety barriers between us, I sold my Xbox and was in and out in less then 10 min
Thank you for the great review!!
Fantastic experience: Great prices and great games
Thanks for the great review!!
Fantastic experience: It was awesome and hope more ppl shop and trade it will help tremendously :)
Thanks for giving us all the stars! We appreciate you!
Negative experience: Stopped in just to look around and see what they had. Didn’t find anything in the store that I wanted, they do not have a very large selection. There was a young man trying to sell some games while I was there and he did not make a deal and was leaving at the same time I did. Once we were outside I asked him about one of the games that he was trying to sell and we agreed upon a price And I purchased it from him. The guy behind the counter came outside yelling and screaming at me for buying the game from the kid and said I was stealing his business
That didn’t happen at my store. You are reviewing the wrong store! My wife and I are the only two at Game Crazy in Salem Oregon.
Fantastic experience: This place has always been very friendly to the nostalgic gamer as well as the more modern one, you wont usually find the newest games here, but they have a good selection and friendly service, please shop here
Thank you for the great review!
Fantastic experience: Awesome store! Really competitive prices. I highly recommended shopping here..
Thanks!! We appreciate the review!!
Fantastic experience: I went and got what I wanted. got home and the product doesn't work very good.
Oh no! Feel free to return it if it’s not working!
