He's got a few interesting bits in stock at the moment. Bit overpriced on the posters (except Pink Sweets which is a bargain) - but there's a rolled Mars Matrix which is pretty rare, and a World Rally kit.

Well that certainly explains the pricing on a lot of the listings

The listings are absurd really, 'hey pay silly mark up for this game I have another 20 copies of!'

Respect due to anyone who can keep an import game shop afloat in 2012 tbh.

He can't just be selling games.

[Rossyra]

He's has a crisps category too.

Too bad he doesn't take PayPal on his site, some things I'd buy there.

I can appreciate he runs a niche site and the costs of importing these days don't help. I have no complaints about that and I have bought stuff recently that was reasonably priced. By the same token I've looked on the site for certain used games and the prices can be far less reasonable

On the other hand showing a huge stack of stock in a listing asking people to pay top money for a game doesn't seem very constructive. For a new release game on the website his orders will be based on likely turn around and risk/reward for the pricing based on that. When he is showing loads of stock in a photo and still asking for top money it just seems like he could make the pricing more enticing.

Fair play to him for doing it and I know a lot of people have used him for things like Cave games, but I wonder if reducing the profit per unit to get more sales would affect the overall profit or if it would result in improved business for him. I know I would buy from him more if the prices were improved. I think the 'special offer pricing' is often more in line with an expected price.

I'll just pay by CC later (I don't have it on me) and hope the stuff is still there by then, probably quicker at this point.
