After I moved to Ripon I stumbled across this shop whilst walking around the town and as a game collector was excited knowing I was on the doorstep of this place! Unfortunately after 3 visits I cannot shop there as nothing is priced, everything is handed over and searched online for current cost. I understand prices in this market are constantly moving but I should not have to pay eBay prices for games when individuals pump the market. I would rather buy from eBay and save the trip.

I was walking past and was joking with the wife pretending to accidentally trip into the shop but when I was inside I was actually shocked to see how many dvd and games there were. Some old school stuff I felt like a kid again. Hopefully next time I will make some purchases. This place is great for gamers.
