  A few years ago this was the place to get really great and rare video games and consoles at really good prices. Sometimes if you spent quite a bit of money they would chuck a game or too into the deal. You never felt ripped off and you were sometimes able to negotiate prices with the chap that worked in the shop with his wife/girlfriend, I’ve spent some serious money in this shop and I would pop in at least 2-3 times a week. However a few years ago I believe that someone else took over the business(not entirely sure) and hired new staff. They put the prices of their games to scalper levels of cost, in many cases more expensive than the scalpers on eBay. They give you the worst levels of trade in on video games where it isn’t worth losing the game in your collection. The staff are unfriendly and whilst I’ve been in the shop I have heard them moaning about customers. When I do now pop in on the rare occasion to see what they have I always end up leaving not buying a single thing, because I know I can get a better deal elsewhere. I am just really disappointed how once a great retro video game shop has become, they have a great stock of items however they just charge the earth for it.
