Gamestop primarily sells new and preowned video games, as well as video game systems and accessories. They also sell collectibles from Nintendo, video game franchises, pokemon, dragonball z etc. The preowned games are reasonably priced and the fact they sell preowned games is the main reason I frequent this establishment. They of course sell all the new video games that are released for the current gen systems as well as the last gen until companies stop making games for last gen. Gamestop does have a membership rewards program that is definitely worth the membership fee if you frequently buy video games. I'm not sure how much the membership fee is because I do personally have it but the membership does give you a $5 coupon every month to use in store or online. Also, members get a 10% percent discount on top of the lower price of any preowned video games or accessories. You also get a 12 month subscription to Game Informer magazine which is Gamestop's video game magazine with detailed stories on upcoming video games and reviews of most games releasing the same month the issue is released. If you still buy physical copies of video games, then you can stop in and trade in your games for cash or store credit. If you get the store credit you get more than if you just want straight up cash. If you are a Gamestop Rewards member you get extra cash or credit for being a member. This is the only thing I have a small problem with when it comes to any Gamestop store. Not just this one. Unless you play the game as soon as it comes out and take it back within a few weeks, maybe a couple of months, you likely wont get much back in terms of cash or credit. There are a few exceptions, such as the AAA video games or every week/month Gamestop does offer a good price back on a select few games they may need in stock at the store. They give you a few bucks back and then sell it for a much higher premium. I know it's a retail store and they need to make a profit but I think they could give players back just a little more. Otherwise the staff at Gamestops, especially this one in Iowa City, are very knowledgable when it comes to video games and accessories. They are also courteous and friendly. They have no problem talking to you about their video game experiences and listening to your experiences as well! I highly recommend this establishment!

They wouldn’t let me bring my scooter in.

They never answer the business phone! Better to go in than to waste time for 5 minutes trying contact them with unlimited phone rings! So upsetting!

Employees are much friendlier then experiences at other stores and always find a way to get the answer we're looking for.
