My pal payed 17 quid for a game that is actually worth 3 quid. Basically jenga with overpriced games.

I've been looking for audiobooks for ages but most second hand shops don't have any. This place does and I bought several, at a very good price.

This shop is more like a museum than a shop as it's full of old material, stacked up ingeniously. The way the owner moves around is remarkable and someone should make a video of him.

I chatted to the owner (Tommy Robertson) and he's been doing this for over 20 years. it's an old fashioned shop which is now a rarity and for that reason alone it's worth a visit.

He also has a series of great vinyl albums, films on DVD and VHS, endless CDs, old video games, golf clubs, old bikes and all sorts of other stuff.

This shop should be preserved by special order as it's a wonder.

Tommy is one of the most knowledgable people I have ever met when it comes to tracking down music from my teenage years. I can't recommend him highly enough!

You may think that you've been to stores that are small, but you haven't until you visit this one! Absolutely crammed with everything from music tapes to video games to movies. Which is pretty cool, actually! BUT it's really hard to find anything and near impossible to try and look at anything since it's all piled up from the floor to the roof. A neat store but only takes like 5 customers at a time because of how small it is, and hard to find what you're looking for!

To be honest after reading some of the other reviews of this place. I was expecting the owner to be a douche. But he was totally cool with me. Got the cable i needed for my gamecube and it was a fair price. Admittedly the shop could do with a tidy but that kinda added to the charm of searching for retro games.

The shop is extremely cluttered and small. Everything in there is in terrible condition and overpriced. No word of a lie. I promise you, it's not worth going.
The owner is also very rude, I have no idea how he's been in business for as long as he has.

Came in and bought a mint condition came cube game and it was in mint condition and yes you do have to pay extra for that the shop is a bit cluttered but that's one if the reasons why I like it theirs not many if these shops left especially for retro gamers

Messy and very expensive. Too bad because there is some interesting items... If you can find them and afford the price.
