“Sold some coins. Very normal and quick process , minimum paperwork, in and out in 5 American minutes; and prices they gave are quite normal as well. I have been into metals long before most of you who are buying gold bars in Costco these days. I bought and sold, from and to brick and mortar stores. Costa's is fine, perfectly fine. Hopefully will do more business in the future. And if you think dealing with online folks like Apmex or JM or Provident better in terms of prices, good luck. Buying won't be cheaper unless you buy large quantities. Then trying to sell to them, whole different matter and pain in terms of logistics and prices too. Price per ounce, sure ?. Any dealer has to have a larger spread then simple bid and ask for spot price.”

“What's more to say it's the LEGO store! I love that they have a discount table there. You might be able to find something good on there for a discount. They have pretty much anything you could want here from the $1000 sets to mini figure key chains.”
“Enough fun stuff to make it worth the effort. A bit far for me but if you’re in the area, stop in and make a deal or two. Nice selection and a layout in the back. Rc. trains and seenics”
“The owner Charlie has an in depth knowledge of the comic book industry. Truly only a few of many authentic comic book stores out there and Dreamland delivers. Came in to trade some old comics and came out with a vintage Pokemon card. Great environment. Thank you”
“Fantastic people here ! I needed co2 refills on multiple co2 bottles for our aquarium store in wheeling il , they were very accommodating and reasonable , will use again , thank you”
“Very eclectic collection at this location. I came in for whiskey glasses and candles, and I was able to find it. Im sure whatever knickknacks or trinkets you need are here. The only reason I can't give a five-star is the lack of signage for the ailes. It is difficult to find what you need in here because of it.”
“Awesome is close to being accurate! Christian, Andy, and Kelsey usually wait on me. When i walk in and they hear my big mouth the come out to greet me and they are genuinely glad to see me. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! They know their business, answer all my questions and truly take their time with me never rushing me. Their prices are competitive but the service is worth more than anything else. Customer service is the key to any successful business, they got it down to a science. When I see these young people doing such a great job, it makes me feel like there is hope for America! I’m in the service business myself (Attorney), I’d hire anyone of these people to work for me!”

“The store is not close to me, but it has always been worth the extra time to make it out here. Chris, the manager, is mentioned in several of these reviews, and for good reason. He makes the atmosphere comforting that anyone, new or old, feels appreciated when they walk through the door.”

“The place is super clean and organized. Was looking for a frame but unfortunately even the plastic ones are around 40$ and up. But the customer service was great. Thank you”
“I mostly go here for the albums but I cant really find the ones Im looking for. I was wondering if there is Baekhyun or Ciel. Also it’s really hot there, like sweaty hot.”
“Nice place but those self service machines are not so comfortable to use as supposed to. You definitely need to talk to associate a couple times before checkout.”
“My family and I went to buy some loose Pokemon cards that my sons were interested in. The cards that they wanted were very random and consisted of Pokemon using all different energies as well as Trainers. The owner Jester was there and he was extremely helpful, helping us find over 30 of the cards that they were looking through by going through binders and loose cards in a box, which was extremely tedious. We've been to many Gamers Worlds where the employees running the store seem like they couldn't care less about their customers. We were fortunate to have the exact opposite experience here and want to thank Jester so much for his kindness and patience!”
“Good store if you like Kpop, anime, or Sanrio. They had a LOONA album which can be hard to come by these days. We also saw the Yves album for the first time. We felt the Kpop merch was a bit overpriced but we still made a few purchases! Would definitely return based on the selection available.”
“MtG Casual Commander on Sundays is in fact a Tournament with bracketing and timed rounds and not just a casual freeform setting.
Seems like a nice store. I'll try and visit and take place in the weekly tournament next time.”
