1st July 2021 We have temporarily closed EU sales due to new VAT rules requiring an EU VAT registration for us to be allowed to sell in Europe. We are working to find a solution and how it impacts our business but there is not very much information available at the moment. There will be more information on the website as the situation becomes clearer.

UK and other international sales are unaffected

The website continues to provide UK buying and selling as normal. May 23rd update: Now shipping to a number of countries in mainland Europe.

Have you tried our new fast free courier delivery for UK orders over £50(mainland/lowland)? It's been a great success so far.

The website continues to provide UK buying and selling as normal. International sales to mainland Europe still closed due to Brexit disruption and Covid lockdowns.

We will continue to review the Covid 19 situation following Government advice.

10th May

The website is now open and we are taking orders. At the moment, we are shipping to UK and a limited number of overseas countries depending on lockdown and courier issues shipping overseas.

We will continue to review the situation following Government advice.

Following Government advice, we have temporarily suspended the shopping cart until 11th May.

A small team is still in place managing the selling cart which is still open for you to send your games to us 'here'.

We are pleased to announce that we have taken on a full time .net developer to expand the website so there will be some cool features coming over the next few months :)

We've had to increase the international postage by a small amount due to carrier price increases in January. But the good news is that our prices have been reduced by a larger amount and so it should not have an affect our international customers :)

For the past two months, you have been able to get extra money for your factory sealed games 'here'.

Retro-Games is getting bigger... Now that we've bedded in to the new office(we are in what used to be the restaurant for the industrial park in the 1940's), we have taken on more staff bringing the total to 9 full timers. We also have a team of part-time photographers adding 1,000s of photos a week to the site.

This month we have achieved record stock levels with over 7700 games for sale as well as 200 consoles currently being listed.

We are now fully operational following the office move. Stock levels will be increasing back up to 7,000 products in the coming weeks!

In Feb 16 due to the continued success of the business, we moved to new larger premises. It was a big move for us with extensive building works on the new site including 28m of new internal walls. It also took 7 people 5 days to transport all our inventory! The new office is ideally located for couriers in south Manchester with excellent transport links. It is sited on a historic industrial estate built in the 1940s with barrier entry and 24hr onsite security.

We will be working on adding import games for some time as it is a massive project. 1800 now having their own product page including PAL B European NES and Japanese Megadrive games but there are thousands more to add. If you need a price for imports not showing in our database - email a list and they will be processed as a priority.

The import games project is well underway with 1200 now having their own product page including PAL B European NES and Japanese Megadrive games. We are also adding EU language Playstation, SNES, Gamecube etc.

The large parcel courier option that EU customers have been asking about for some time should be in place with UPS shortly. This will provide a cost effective tracked service for larger orders and consoles.

We are working hard to give 3000 import games their own product page. For example, we have hundreds of USA Gamecube games which will be up for sale at half the price of the UK equivalent. What's the catch - there isn't one as long as you have a freeloader disc handy. Same goes for SNES if you have a universal adapter

There are now a record 7,000 games, consoles and accessories to buy on the site - including 51% of all Dreamcast, 63% of N64 and 45% of PS1. Check our full page cover ads on Official Playstation and RetroGamer magazines.

ColecoVision is now ready to price up in the sell your games cart 'here'. There are also prices for 200 strategy guides (if you type strategy in the title search).

It's been a long time coming but Atari 2600 is finally up and running for you to price up and send in with free courier. There's a price for 310 games, 4 different consoles and 16 accessories 'here'. Atari 7800 has also sneaked into the selling cart at the same time!.

This is always a busy time of the year for customers sending in their games. However, this year we have seen a significant increase in the number of rare games collections passing through Retro-Games HQ. Many thanks for your continued support and keep an eye out for some choice listings in the next few weeks!!

We are pleased to announce that we are now offering Parcelforce to collect your games as one of the four courier/dropoff services. They replace City Link as our preferred courier for customer collections and they also deliver for the popular Post Office dropoff service.

There are loads of chargers and leads currently being added to the site. By the end of the month, we will be stocking chargers for: Megadrive, MegaCD, Master System, Gameboy Color, Gamegear and more...
