What customers say

From out of town and was looking for somewhere that sold VHS or video games. I happened to find this place. Not a huge selection of video games (a few), but I was more so impressed with the VHS selection. Compared to any other stores in the area, I’d say this place has the best selection. Fairly priced too.

As far as vintage type shops go, Strange Maine is without question one of my favorites. It's a bit small, but it adds to the atmosphere. Employees are super chill and friendly, there's awesome variety amongst the music sold there, an awesome section that sells retro and some more modern video games, as well as…

Great place to shop for unique items that have a punk and local artist vibe. If you are just the every Joe , they have something for you too. Strange Maine offers a little bit of everything to suit everyone's taste. Very cool and almost looks likes you are walking into a museum!
