This store has already died a thousand deaths it seems. Could've sworn they were all closing down ages ago but you still find them everywhere.

my local one closed recently. Looks like they were carrying tons of preowned, and new games etc. But had a large section for board games, trading card games. At one point had warhammer.

Seems they tried to branch out and failed. iirc they said they’re no longer accepting trade ins?

Yup, killed the one reason I had to go in there apart from the Pokémon codes.

Merch is overpriced, they won't part-ex anymore. They closed stores and moved to crappy corners of sports direct and what not. It's dying. It'll be an online portal where kids send links to grandparents at Christmas soon.

These are just overpriced toy stores now. More toys than games. They haven't been a real gaming store for ages, in my opinion.
