The Exchange: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great place to get video games and the staff are awesome and very helpful
Fantastic experience: Lots of cool things
Fantastic experience: They have a very large selection of games new and old from cartridges to discs to Nintendo switch chips. They also have gaming systems that allow you to play the old cartridge games...prices are fair and you can earn points with your purchases
Fantastic experience: Best Retro Game store in Indy. Slightly pricier than Disc Replay - but you get what you pay for. Clean, organized stores with a fantastic selection...the vinyl collection is stellar as well.
Fantastic experience: Very nice place to buy some old game
Fantastic experience: Love this place
Negative experience: They said I had a 7 day period to refund my item but when I went in they said they won't let me refund Terrible place and the customer service is terrible
Fantastic experience: Awesome store to find the BEST movies and records around. The staff is so helpful and friendly and able to find those hard movies that you can't find. The records are out of the 60's wow. It's like going back in time. Always something new. Great store you are the best! They are the BEST :-)
Fantastic experience: Bought a ps3 and some games signed up for the rewards, definitely worth coming back great selection
Positive experience: Love this place
Fantastic experience: Visited here while travelling through town. Things are mostly in cases (which I do not like), but prices were inoffensive (which I do like). Staff was helpful. Worth a stop.
Positive experience: Very friendly service large variety of new and old game systems not to mention they have records as well
Fantastic experience: The staff is great!
Fantastic experience: Nice place nice people pleasant experience
Fantastic experience: Great Place!! Loved it
Fantastic experience: Big selection of games. Found some great titles and was surprised to find PSP games. Staff was very friendly. Great game store.
Negative experience: Game stores have gone off the deep end. Worse that buying a car when it comes to buying one and the price going down 150%. But its not the exchanges fault I guess. They have a good selection but they are another buy back super low and sell stupid high gaming store. Don't worry I rated disc replay and game stop lower.
Positive experience: Have great stuff little pricey
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! They have everything! Movies, toys, games, music and very helpful staff. I was just visiting Indianapolis and decided to check this place out I really hope that they open one up by me
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience finding some unique plushy’s and video games. Definitely love coming into this franchise of gaming stores as they have a lot of a unique variety per location!
Negative experience: Unfortunately my last few visits there were not good. I was ignored by the guy ringing me up as i was checking out when i tried talking to him. I later gave a shot at doing a trade-in on approximately $110 worth of games and was offered $20, insulting. And lastly they didnt update their system for the 1 thing i had ordered thru them, a gamecube game, which arrived in a jewel case, and was sent messages to pick up something i already had gotten. I dont recommend shopping here. Instead check out old school outpost for your gaming needs, its a bit further but better prices and better trade in value.
Fantastic experience: Great place!!! Anything 90s they have it.
Fantastic experience: Great selection, fair prices for selling goods, just a cool place to go to.
Negative experience: They're not honest on what they offer people for prices
Fantastic experience: Awesome place for music, games, movies, and collectibles. I come here about once every week or two and browse their new arrivals of movies and music.
Fantastic experience: Love this place, collectibles and games and albums. People are so helpful here also, fun place to go. You never know what you are going to find!
Fantastic experience: Been there a few times, always great!
Fantastic experience: Shaun is an excellent server and made our night very special! Drinks were incredible, charcuterie board was delicious and well-sized. I think I may have just found a new Indy favorite…
Positive experience: Over priced records, but nice store maybe worth it
Fantastic experience: Great place starting to get pricey.
Fantastic experience: Always love the selection and the friendly staff. Easy to find all sorts of games, movies, and CDs as low as $5, $10, and or $15. Collection items, hot label records, and more! Stop by and have fun exploring. There's something for everyone.
Positive experience: Great.
Fantastic experience: Think I found my new favorite store ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Its a buy, sale, trade store, similar to disc replay. awesome prices, Friendly staff and the selection is amazing. If you haven't stopped by here do yourself a favor and go!!?!! Funko pops, video games (new & old), systems, movies, records, collectibles and so much more
Negative experience: If I could give them zero Stars I would hands down the worst game shop I've ever walked into. They have a ton of stuff they want to lowball you if you want to sell something or trade it in for other stuff. I literally brought in a Nintendo 64 and great condition two controllers and great condition three games high end games they go for about 60 each and they offered me $55 total. I paid $60 for one game from them two months ago and I get that you're never going to get out what you paid for but that is the biggest scam rip off I've ever seen in my life. It was beyond belief go to disc replay they will at the very least give you a fair deal for what you have. I feel sorry for people that have to sell their stuff and not like me we're just wanting to trade it in for something new so I can walk away cuz there's going to be people in a situation that really need the money and these people are going to take advantage of them. So you read this no I would never go there.
Fantastic experience: I love The Exchange. I feel like this location has a much better selection than the place in Castleton. The staff are also much friendlier here too.
Fantastic experience: This place is great. Good deals, friendly people and lots of unique vintage items. They even have some sci-fi books!
Positive experience: Overall a good store. Solid collection and extremely well organized. Prices could be a bit better but I’d still recommend
Fantastic experience: Love it here the vibe of all the older horror stuff and the game selection is really good they sell consoles and they have a HUGE! music selection
Fantastic experience: Love it
Negative experience: Overpriced disc replay way chraper
Fantastic experience: We called 3 stores for a game, and The Exchange had it. But that's not the real reason why I am posting. The store was immaculate! They have vinyls, players, movies, posters, collectibles... All was organized and arranged neatly. The staff were nice, and the gentleman who helped us was super friendly, helpful, and informative. Definitely will be going back!!
Fantastic experience: There's always new and interesting stuff to look at every time I go there. There's gaming systems, games, records, CDs, DVDs, posters and collectibles. All pre-owned stuff is in top condition!
Fantastic experience: Go to the store all the time they have really good prices on there cds movies Blu rays video games and other stuff and the staff is really friendly and helpful
Fantastic experience: This store is amazing. They have every game, accessory, DVD/Blu-ray, CD, and a vinyl record you would ever need. Everything is organized to perfection and the staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: This store is not like any other store that sells used movies. It is so clean and organized. Movies are categorized and kept behind locked glass cases. Staff is always available to take movies out for you, recommend movies, show you where something is located, and check their other locations if they don't have something in their store. They also have a large selection of vinyl, also neatly organized! I love this place! On my last visit, we spent $130 and left with some amazing finds!
Fantastic experience: Great used video game store.
Fantastic experience: I purchased my daughter birthday gifts. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.
Negative experience: Update: They refunded my debit for a fourth of it. Could only give store credit for what I used on a gift card, but that's corporate policy so I can't really be mad. Got three Pokemon switch games and they work great. Still going to leave the issues with the console before but they made it up to me for sure. I am keeping it at one star however, as there is zero excuse for the lack of quality control. Here are the issues I dealt with- 1: The memory card they gave me to go with it has a lot of data, some of which is corrupt and cannot be deleted. None of the games I have recognize a memory card so it is likely not usable. Not the biggest problem since I got it for free... but what if I had paid $15 it's being sold at? Not okay. 2: Was not shown the state of the cables or ports. The RCA cable has less than half the connector teeth and the multi av out port is VERY bend and discolored like it has water damage... poor quality signal to tv as a result. This likely means this part will not work for much longer and will need replacing. 4: It didn't have have a network adapter. The associate seemed confused and looked around like it was supposed to have one, but it only had the cover. Again this wouldn't be a huge issue since I don't care about getting online, but it seems odd to not even keep the pieces together. The associate retrieved and screwed the network adapter cover on with a penny... and it fell off while he was trying to put it in the bag. Absolutely broken, it tried to split into pieces when I took it off of the back of the PS2. It is also very rusty and dirty... honestly it should not have been given out in that condition. 5: The system is rather dirty for what I'm used to from this shop. Some odd sticky spots near the back ports. Perhaps the water damaged a port is related to this? ...And yes you could say "Well why didn't you look at the items on the parking lot before you left?" I simply had never had a bad experience at any of The Exchange locations before today, and had trust in their products. In the future I will be checking all products before leaving the parking lot. Not just from The Exchange, however. Just a general lesson to look before leaving.
Fantastic experience: This place is great. They always have a crazy good selection of older games and systems. People are super nice there too.
Fantastic experience: The staff is helpful, polite and professional. Prices are fair. I've shopped here several times with absolutely no complaints.
Fantastic experience: Always fun to go here and the staff is awesome. It's kind of like a mystery box in that you never know what you'll find when you go.

Fantastic experience: staff are super dope, great prices for my vinyl's, if youre really big into media collecting this is one of the better shops ive seen in a while. i highly recommend it !
Positive experience: I thought some of the prices were kind of high, and they didn’t have what I was looking for

Fantastic experience: Best deals they have almost everything
Fantastic experience: Any time I go to this store they always have amazing games for low prices on my most recent visit I got bioshock 2 for ps3 and it was in pristine condition no scratches on the disc and it even had the Manuel and it was only 3 dollars.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly, great prices and a ton of goodies love this place. Wayyyyy better then disc replay
Fantastic experience: Thanks for the great experience and the willingness to buy my games for such a great price. Awesome customer service. Will definitely be coming here again if I need help video game wise.
Fantastic experience: Nice clean store. Some records represented as 1st press that weren't. But priced accordingly
Fantastic experience: The employees are very friendly and nice and better than disc replay employees and they do have lots of vinyl to regular video games
Positive experience: You'll probably be able to find something you're looking for, but they're usually pricing a fair bit above disc replay, which is right down the street. Idk. I've bought 5 mortal kombat games for 15 dollars and less, so that's cool.
Negative experience: Phone number is incorrect on all sites that I checked! It's a personal phone number!
Fantastic experience: Great selection of movies and tuneage. Ordered a cd, arrived at store in a few days, sent me a notification text. Pro-fessional indeed. They make a their momma proud. **disband the 3 letter agencies**
Fantastic experience: Better selection than DRP, but the prices are a bit higher.
Positive experience: Great new store. Very nice selection and displays were awesome. Good prices too
Fantastic experience: Love this store! It's seriously so neat and organized. They nearly always have what I'm looking for and, if not, are willing to search their system and have it shipped to them. Always had exceptional customer service.
Negative experience: I call said I had oop DVDs and Blu-Rays brought in about thirty of them on phone they sounded interested had some high $ $. Stuff. Like Dolls from scream Factory unopened. And Ghost Town unopened , and The howling 2 dvd also unopened they offered me less than the cost when they came out , some of the movie has sold comps of $100 or more the young lady was rude told me that the best get anywhere, I took those movies to Half Price Books and they paid me more than 50% which was more than they afford and this store ,
Fantastic experience: Best retro gaming store ever!
Fantastic experience: I love vintage video game stores and this one is perfect. They have everything that will keep you looking for ever. When I go in this place, I end up making my Christmas list because I would spend all of my own money at this store. Plus, they are interconnected and will hold vintage games at other locations too. Their only down fall is that they are a tad over the competition's price points on certian items. However, their cleanliness is next to perfect and their staff have a love for their jobs as well! Highly highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Great store !
Positive experience: Incredible selection of new, used, and vintage gaming gear and some cool collectibles.
Fantastic experience: Everytime I shop here, I don’t ever leave empty handed. This is the go to place in Indianapolis for retro video games. And the best part, I can order stuff here if they don’t have it at one of the stores here. Highly recommended
Positive experience: Great selection, but over priced on a lot of stuff by about 30-40%. Good place to go if you're looking for something specific and willing to pay a little bit more for it.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff, very knowledgeable overall console gaming
Fantastic experience: What a refreshing video game shopping experience. After spending most of the day hunting in flea markets around the city. This store is CLEAN and well stocked. We were able to find some games in fantastic condition for at or slightly below market. I will visit this store again whenever I am in town.
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Great place for record shopping too!
Negative experience: I called to ask the trade in value of 2 games. The kid that answered started with a huge sigh like I was bothering him by calling. When I asked the value of the 2 games he said "We can't give the trade in values over the phone for the safety of the product." What does that even mean? Gamestop and Disc Replay have no problem giving this info because it's a simple answer. Either you will take it for this value or you won't take it.
Fantastic experience: They have everything you need if your a gamer! The store was immaculate and the staff was super friendly!
Negative experience: I took over 100 movie in to this establishment. When I first discovered this place, I told this young lady a majority of the things I had, she said that they would be able to assist me. (Mind you this was a white younger chick, and I am in an inter-racial relationship) when I brought my items back she told me it would be about 30 min. I hadn't been in this store before so me and my husband decided to look around while she was looking at our items. 5 min later, she called us back to the counter and told us that she would have to pass on ALL of our items because they had "too many" of the movies we had. Upon looking in the box, there was NO WAY she even looked at half of our items!!! She gave us both a snarling look and her attitude was disgusting. I am so offended I will NEVER go back to this place again!!! Grow up lady!!! We can love who we want!!! ♀️
Positive experience: Nice selection of games workers very nice and helpful
Fantastic experience: I always find what I'm looking for and more. If I had more money I would spend it herr
Positive experience: The employees aren't too friendly. The prices are super inflated. Disc replay is across the street, just go there.
Fantastic experience: Extra nice and knowledgeable staff. Super clean store.
