A couple of years ago when gamestation was bought out by GAME I thought that they phased out all their "retro" gaming gear and only sold current gen stuff. This was certainly the case for the gamestation back home. But today I was in Oxford city centre and dropped into the gamestation there. I was pleasantly suprised to find that they still had DC and other older console games out on the shelves. They had Shenmue II in for £20 and Unreal Tournament for a fiver so I'm going to go back tommorow and purchase them.
Does anyone else have a gamestation near them that stocks DC games/consoles? |

whats a gamestation? It's a chain of shops in the UK that sell computer/video games. They don't sell "retro" games any more sadly. You're best bet is to try some independent retailer. |

I dont get round to them that often as there are none locally but when I have seen them they do still have older gen stuff.
Last time I went to a Gamestation I bought a Dreamcast keyboard and I also recall they had about 20 games Including some rare ones. No bargins though all priced quite highly. I am finding the place for bargins is Cash generator. They dont check the value of older gen stuff when they take it in. They will only pay a set measly amount for games on certain consoles. Ive picked up a few games for a pound that are worth considerably more than that. Laters |

| Yeh pawn shops are quite good. I remember going into a cash convertor shop last year and getting 3 games and a light gun for under a tenner. | ||||

Sadly that's about how it is over here in the USA too.
I've been only seeing Dreamcast items in pawns shops. Places like Gamestop stopped carrying Dreamcast things years ago. |

Ive picked up Sonic 2 and PSO ver 1 for 50p each both when there total value is over £20 easily. At a car boot I have bought a DC console only for 99p and DC with about 7 games and all leads for £5. The last ones not a great deal when you consider Ebay prices but then I dint pay P&P  Having Console items of any kind in places that dont know there value is by no means a bad thing! Trust me on that one

Ah, i found a great deal in a cash converter shop in my hometown a couple of months back. Went in and they had a box of 40 or so Dreamcast games, some terrible (ECW Hardcore, WWF Attitude, that kind of thing), some games i already had (Shenmue, Conflict Zone), and about 5 games i'd always wanted but never got round to getting. They were all labled at £2 to £15 each, so i was carefully picking out the best ones when the guy comes along to me and says "if you take the whole box you can have it for 50p per item".
I have never been so happy in my life got ~40 games, 3 keyboards, 2 controllers, 2 VM's, a lightgun and a rumble pack for £25.00.
That, by the way, was the most difficulty I have ever had explaining a purchase to my girlfriend at the time! She did put up with a lot... |

Out here on the U.S. West coast I haven't heard of Gamestation but generally I can only find D.C.s at used video game stores where they "only know the games are on the wall", but I've found quite a few good deals on EBAY and also that there are rating systems for the D.C.s you can find there! | |||

There was a Game Station in my area. Not the same company, same name, one store, went out of business...management issues. Apparent arbitrary pricing system. | |||
