What collectors say
★★★★★
“There are five gaming stores in Eastern Pennsylvania that I make it a point to get too… but by far, The Banish Zone has the best vibe, blend of CCG and miniatures gaming. These photos were of a FLASH demo I ran. And of that night’s CCG Champion settling in after the completion with his crew to shuck the winnings/packs.”
★★★★★
“The absolutely best possible LGS you can go to in the area. They take care of the community they have built and run events with the players in mind. If you are looking for an honest store and community to join while playing tcgs or table top games, this is the store for you.”
★★★★
“Staff are friendly, store is well lit and clean with tons of available product across an assortment of games, whether you're looking for TCG or board games. Would be 5 stars but parking is awful”
★
“Torn between 2 and 1. They have a GREAT selection here but I’m incredibly disappointed with the transparency and math on trade-ins. I brought in a batch of cards worth $90 TCGplayer low, I triple checked right before I walked into the store. I was quoted $36, which the staff explicitly told me was '60% of TCGplayer low value' for store credit so they either didn’t think I knew the prices of my cards and tried to lowball me or they are really bad at math since it should’ve been $54 at 60% (which is already quite low for store credit trade in). Among the cards were Riftbound and Pokémon hits such as Baron Nashor, Rift Herald, 2x Scuttle Crab, Full art Fuecoco EX from 30th celebration, Dark Tyranitar from 30th celebration, and an alternate art Pyke Returned. Trying to give me what mathematically works out to a 40% credit rate while misrepresenting it as 60% is pretty unacceptable and makes me rethink whether or not I really want to come here. I would recommend everyone double-check numbers before trading anything in here. Their Pokémon prices are also quite expensive, as they’re charging $80 for a 30th celebration bundle that I just bought for $32 at target this morning and $30 for a tin that I bought for $12-13 just this morning”
