I wish I had something like this less than 3 miles away. All I have less than that is a crappy GameStore with an uninterested owner that raises the price 2 times on popular games.
@@retrobloke- I am selling well both in store and online on my website shop. You were actually the first online retro store I bought some items from back in approximately 2010. Items I still have...
Need more stores like this run by actual genuine people so people can buy video games for a decent price instead of being subject to crazy online prices
Crazy thing about today prices of old games... Here is a guy selling a copy of pokemon sapphire in nearly $900. That kind of shite is why nobody try to buy old games.
My first GameBoy Advance SP was in a KMart display model. I started working there in 2006, and found it in the storage just collecting dust. I bought it for $20, and it took me forever to get it out of the display casing.
Wonderful video Elliot! Thank you for this. I'm not in the UK so I probably won't be seeing that store anytime soon myself, but it's especially because of that that I loved you taking a tour and talking to the owner. Love the enthusiasm of the man, too!
I totally love that the prices are super reasonable. You dont pay a dumb mark-up "premium" on retro stuff like you would do on ebay or some other places. so if youre just the average joe that want to grab some retro consoles to actually play on them, or even if its just to put it on a shelf - you will be able to do that without leaving with an empty wallet !
That Skyline is beautiful. Imo, 80s/90s Japanese cars are peak design. I love it. After moving here, I was blown away at all the RX7, Supras, and Skylines still on the road. It's awesome. Also that game shop is sick.
I flippin love retro sect and can recommend it to anyone passing by junction 9 on the M5 with time on their hands and an interest in vintage stuff. The time passes so fast there and the prices are good too. And he sells cars... Thanks for featuring this Elliot, it looks like you had fun!
This place is amazing! It has everything I like and am into! Old cars, old tech, old toys, old games.....going here would bring back a flood gate of memories! I also love it's run by a passionate enthusiast that loves all the same stuff I do!
This shop is the definition of "shut up and take my money!" 😁😁😁 Glad you shared it with us Elliot! (Plus the price really look down to earth, kudos to the owner for that!)
This is a truly great gem of a shop. Found out about this place about a month ago and already can't wait to visit again. Absolutely great guy and a great place!
I am going to take mine 😊 I have tried to explain what it was like when I was younger and the look on their faces when they said about buying a game and it would be complete, no updates or dlc also couch multiplayer kids just don't understand.😊
My life’s dream is to own a business like this. I figure most of my sales would be online, but I’d have it all open like this for the sake of being sorta like a museum. But I’d use the car area for a multiplayer and/or board game area. Maybe have specific games scheduled for multiplayer tournaments at specific times. It’s be such a great way to enjoy the amazing multiplayer experience that’s completely missing on new consoles.
Such a great shop with a genuine, friendly owner. One of the things that caught my eye is the retro PC games section. That's not something you see very often in retro game stores.
Bro this place is my dream to visit all the of consoles and games for a good price and a hangout place with games that we can play for free and the owner is nice like what is a more genuine store this is a place I wanna visit brings me back to my childhood
Popped into this store this morning. Had a good chat with owner (he mentioned that Elliot had done a video here), and bought some gameboy games to add the collection. Absolutely fantastic shop to visit.
Ooh, so much 80's nostalgia! Those cars are right up my street, definitely the type I'd have had poster of when I was a kid. I'd love to visit but it's a little too far for me, sadly. But if I'm ever down that way I know where I can go!
Went there last week, lovely bloke and genuinely passionate about what he does. I would strongly recommend any adult with nostalgia interests to give your business to this man
Arghhhhh. No! This should've been a 30 minute video. Fastest 10 minutes I've ever watched. If it wasn't so far away... Gid luck Retro-Sect awesome store.
@@GameSpirit1 I had one when I just got my driving license. I could race out all my buddies. Plus, it doesn’t give a shit about a any thresholds on the road. It’s the best car ever made.
Hey Elliot, great video! If you're filming around CRT's again and don't want that flicker effect, you can set the camera's shutter speed to 1/50 or /100 to fix that.
Im a gen z American retro and vintage guy and i own a TPS-L2 Sony Walkman the same model from guardians of the galaxy and I love this ❤ this guy is awesome my kind of guy i would love to hang with
