        General Info
        The Great Escape is the premiere place in the mid-south to buy, sell and trade new, used & collectible items such as DVDs, CDs, Records, Video Games, MP3 Players, Comic Books, Toys, Gaming Cards & Roleplaying Games & more! We have thousands & thousands of thousands of items at a fraction of what they retail for new and we're both a bargain store (with CDs & DVDs starting at 99 , comics 50 & up & many sports, trading & gaming cards at only 2 each) and a collector's paradise (specializing in out-of-print records, comic books and more). Need Cash? We pay top dollar for merchandise that is brought in to sell to us- and we give 25% more in trade. We have two Nashville-based locations: our Charlotte Ave. Superstore (in West Nashville), which has 7,000 square feet of great deals, and also houses our outlet store, The Great Escape Half-Price-Or-Less Store, and our Madison location (located near Opry Mills & Rivergate Mall). We also have locations in Bowling Green & Louisville, Kentucky.

        A good place to find some older games, comics, and music. The selection is pretty good for a shop of it's size, but it's nothing like McKays. My son enjoys browsing for old video games.

        Awesome place to spend some time and money. The staff is really not rude nor helpful. They treat you like adults and only help when asked. You'll find plenty of hidden gems and a ton of nostalgic items that are a must have.

        best wacky packages

        You can find anything here!!!! Comic book stuff, toys, wacky packages!!! Oh yea they have CDs, LPs, old playboys too, but who cares!! Also who cares that they didn't know about a convention. Does that other person know how many events go on in Nashville a day? This was the best place in Nashville besides Ernest Tubb's record's store.

        Information

        I live 80 miles from Nashville and called to ask about a comic convention which was to be held in Nashville. All they would admit is that there was a convention, but wouldn't even give me the name of the convention so I go to the internet to find out the times. That's sad.
