The Upkeep Games - Ann Arbor

★★★★★

“I checked out this local game store over the weekend and had a pretty decent experience. The place isn’t huge, but they’ve got a solid mix of board games, trading cards, and video game stuff. I was mainly looking for some retro titles and they actually had a few I haven’t seen in a while. Prices seemed fair compared to what I’ve seen online. The guy behind the counter was easy to talk to and didn’t hover, which I appreciate. It did take a minute to find what I needed since things are kinda packed in there, but overall I left satisfied and would probably come back again.”

“I have been going to this game store for a long time now. I have bought a few cards from their showcase since I rarely buy sealed box's or pack's for trading card games. I mostly buy online and I am happy to say their prices are reasonable. Today I went to the game store to play some Warhammer with my friend and though they did not have enough tablespace in the normal play area due to an event they were able to setup a folding table elsewhere in the store for us. I also managed to buy some good condition used models for very good prices. They are put together already (hence being used) and were much less than buying new. One had been snapped off of its base since its a model that is supposed to be elevated off of it, and the person selling it to me made sure to let me know before buying. This is no problem to remove with a small hand crank drill that I already have at home.”

“Brought a large stack of some mid-era pokemon cards to trade in towards a card in the case. Apparently out of 300 cards only one was up to their standards condition wise and they wanted to give me bulk price. I trade in a lot to their other stores so granted a lot of the cards were in MP-HP and I was expecting them to pass on stuff under $3 some but somehow we glossed over everything in 10 minutes? There were still a good number of cards worth $5-$15 even in damaged condition. I get stuff might not sell immediately because it’s not modern or a full art but you’re a chain and have everything listed to TCG Player and it can be looked up purchased online or at any location. It’s sad I live much closer to this location but I’ll drive 30 mins to the Canton Upkeep or farther out to RIW at least they can take the time to check what I got and give me a fair offer.”
