Game Station take this piss now with older consoles and games. A couple of years ago they used to be reasonable selling consoles for about £10 and games for a couple of quid. They have now firmly latched on to the "retro" market and charge unbelieveable prices for stuff.

£50 for a NES, that is a bloody joke.

thing is i dont think anyone even buys the stuff as its so expensive, Andy is right a few years ago they couldn't get rid of it fast enough (much like the last gen stuff now) so was dirt cheap but i have seen resellers in there now so the prices go up.

I do think that they move these things round a few shops though as i cant see where they are all coming from as NES in particular is pretty thin on the ground round here.

One of the Gamestations in town has had a loose NES for over a year at £35 with SMB/DH and a Zapper. The other one had a loose VCS for £21 with no games. It's no wonder people trade consoles in to make a profit. No need for eGay that way, unless you want cash or you're selling games.

All of their games are overpriced apart from most of the Mega Drive games, which are usually £1.99 BOGOF.

That's not too bad, but you don't see nothing like that in Accrington. Everything is just overpriced. Not too bad with Xbox games at the moment though.

same here the Megadrive (of any old) games are always way overprice even for shit that goes for 1p on ebay.

The same shop has had Panzer Dragoon sage twice (prob same game) in the windows at £99 or so its just not going to sell at that price especially when you know they paid fuck all for it
