Gametraders

Gametraders is one of my favourite stores at Chermside, as they often get in retro video game consoles such as the Nintendo 64, the Gamecube, the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. They also have a large selection of video games for older consoles.
You should definitely avoid Gametraders if you have an addiction for Pop! Vinyl Figures, as they sell hundreds of them, in addition to merchandise for franchises including Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Doctor Who and Star Wars.
They also have a large selection of board games and card games, many of which you would not find at most toy and department stores. Gametraders also sells comic books, animé DVDs /​Blu-ray’s, a small selection of clothing and various video game /​TV show props, which would be perfect for cosplay.
You will often be able to find items that Gametraders are selling for less online, though they offer convenience and a unique retail experience, which EB Games is finally catching on to, with the launch of their new Zing Pop Culture stores.

Video games are expensive — and don’t really have anything to do with videos anymore now I think about it.
Gamestraders has a very clever model based around letting you trade in your old games to help offset of that brand new $ 100 game YOU HAVE TO HAVE RIGHT NOW. Other game stores do this too, but Gamestraders seems to be a bit more generous with their refund. Don’t get me wrong, they then turn around and sell your traded in game for heaps more than they paid you, and it’s pure profit (they only have to pay the manufacturer for new games so selling second hand games is heaps more lucrative than selling new).
There’s a decent range, and parents and partners can feel slightly better about watching their loved one trade in that game that cost a fortune just a week ago (trust me, you never really go back and play a game once you’ve finished it).
