Vidcycle

The workers were cool and friendly. However, the place was pretty sketchy, and smelt like vape. They also did not have a very large selection of PS4 games at the time I was there.

Short Version: Vidcycle is a neat little store near Waterloo’s shopping area that sells used DVDs, video games, and music CDs. They also sell some new merchandise as well. They have recently expanded to include a large vaping section. Just look out for the prices as they can be pretty high compared to other retailers at times.
Long Version:
Vidcycle is a small store located in a strip mall near Petco and Little Caesers Pizza over in the Waterloo area. They have a small electronic billboard on top of the store displaying clear copyright infringement violations (Batman logo, Geico lizard, etc.), but it makes it easier to find the store. Right now, they have a lot of signage advertising their new vaping section.
Walking into the store is a bit overwhelming, but you’ll figure things out right away. They have various video games organized by console. They have the newer consoles (Xbox ONE, PS4) all the way down to retro console games such as Nintendo or Sega Genesis. The store does have a unisex bathroom, but it appears to be locked to any customers; however, I didn’t ask any of the staff about it.
You can find a great selection of games here. They have super-​old video games and obscure games that you might not find anywhere else. Most of those copies are used. They also have brand new, untouched copies of newer games that they sell as well. The same can be said about the DVDs. They have pretty new-​ish releases as well as DVD and Blu-​Ray copies of older movies as well. You’re bound to find some odd, obscure movie you wanted to watch but haven’t seen yet when you come here.
The only downside is that you need to watch the prices. I know it’s a local store, but I like to compare to online prices to see if things are in the same ballpark. And for most of the items I picked up, they weren’t. They were selling a video game for $ 20 used that went for $ 9 for a brand new copy on Amazon. I’m a-​okay with paying a bit more to support local businesses, but it needs to be in a somewhat-​similar ballpark for me to want to do that.
I don’t know much (read: nothing) about vaping, but their vaping selection seemed pretty huge and extensive. As they’re hiring and ONLY looking for employees with vaping knowledge, it looks like they’re ready to help you find good vaping stuff too.
This is a neat little business, but I’m not in love. As long as you watch the prices when you come here, you should come out with a couple new video games or movies that you always wanted to own but never got around to buying.
