Nice review, thanks!

[@BenjiBearPup]

Very useful video! Will be checking out those sites later! Also a good way I've found to discover new games is to ask the owners of game stores and aww what they reccomend. They might remind you of something you forgot or a personal hidden gem of thiers. :)

The staff in some of the old shops I mentioned knew me so well they’d let me know whenever interesting games came in, and sometimes keep them aside for me too 😅

Gaming magazines are such an underrated resource

[@viridionwaves]

The geeks line books are THE best books on a library I have seen. Such awesome books. I cant wait till the game boy color and game boy advance anthologies come out. Still waiting to get some older ones that sold out

[@RetroBreak]

Yeah can’t wait for the other GB books! Hope the rest come back in stock soon so you can get them!

CeX is in Australia too - I recently picked up Advance Wars Dual Strike on DS for a decent price :)

Don't think we didn't hear you drop the F word... fiancée. Congrats on getting engaged! And great video as usual. Great to hear about your experiences and always appreciate your positive attitude.

Agreed, people are overreacting, what people don't realize is that people who have collected will also want to sell. Agreed people need to look at inflation. Sad that Gamestation folded and GAME themselves have closed a majority of outlets. CEX are generally ok, but with some games you might be missing manuals because when they mean game with box...thats literally it sometimes. I don't look at CEX. Also be sure to test the games you get from CEX coz my friend who got Warioland 3 to collect just put it on her shelf and when she finally got to play it, it didn't work. Also a friend purchases Zelda a link to the past 4 swords adventures and it turned out it was a fake. When it comes to comparing prices these days in terms of estimates coz they never have it in stuck and a lot of the prices are not updated. eBay is the standard that I gauge my pricing around. FB market place in my experience can be an ambiguous experience. I'll be trading at the Milton Keynes Gaming Market September 14th so if you can come it would be good. :)

[@RetroBreak]

I'll be there :D

Please can you share the link to the independent game stores map, UK? Thanks!

[@RetroBreak]

Here you go - indieretro.co.uk/a-list-of-retro-game-shops-in-the-uk/ I’ll add it to the description now :)

[@Specialcayspray]

The only time i really i guess you could say complain about prices is when thrift stores like goodwill in the US selling games for triple of what there worth. Like they get everything donated aka for free. Just super scummy in my opinion

[@RetroBreak]

We don't really get that in the UK so I couldn't comment on it... in the UK if a charity shop gets in anything they know is rare, they put it on their eBay instead :(

[@Specialcayspray]

@RetroBreak yeah that makes sense. But ice seen 10 dollar games priced at 50 dollars at goodwill. Aka our charity shop.
