@@retrobloke- I am selling well both in store and online on my website shop. You were actually the first online retro store I bought some items from back in approximately 2010. Items I still have...
I wish I had something like this less than 3 miles away. All I have less than that is a crappy GameStore with an uninterested owner that raises the price 2 times on popular games.
Need more stores like this run by actual genuine people so people can buy video games for a decent price instead of being subject to crazy online prices
Crazy thing about today prices of old games... Here is a guy selling a copy of pokemon sapphire in nearly $900. That kind of shite is why nobody try to buy old games.
I totally love that the prices are super reasonable. You dont pay a dumb mark-up "premium" on retro stuff like you would do on ebay or some other places. so if youre just the average joe that want to grab some retro consoles to actually play on them, or even if its just to put it on a shelf - you will be able to do that without leaving with an empty wallet !
My first GameBoy Advance SP was in a KMart display model. I started working there in 2006, and found it in the storage just collecting dust. I bought it for $20, and it took me forever to get it out of the display casing.
Wonderful video Elliot! Thank you for this. I'm not in the UK so I probably won't be seeing that store anytime soon myself, but it's especially because of that that I loved you taking a tour and talking to the owner. Love the enthusiasm of the man, too!
I flippin love retro sect and can recommend it to anyone passing by junction 9 on the M5 with time on their hands and an interest in vintage stuff. The time passes so fast there and the prices are good too. And he sells cars... Thanks for featuring this Elliot, it looks like you had fun!
This shop is the definition of "shut up and take my money!" 😁😁😁 Glad you shared it with us Elliot! (Plus the price really look down to earth, kudos to the owner for that!)
That Skyline is beautiful. Imo, 80s/90s Japanese cars are peak design. I love it. After moving here, I was blown away at all the RX7, Supras, and Skylines still on the road. It's awesome. Also that game shop is sick.
I am going to take mine 😊 I have tried to explain what it was like when I was younger and the look on their faces when they said about buying a game and it would be complete, no updates or dlc also couch multiplayer kids just don't understand.😊
This place is amazing! It has everything I like and am into! Old cars, old tech, old toys, old games.....going here would bring back a flood gate of memories! I also love it's run by a passionate enthusiast that loves all the same stuff I do!
@@GameSpirit1 I had one when I just got my driving license. I could race out all my buddies. Plus, it doesn’t give a shit about a any thresholds on the road. It’s the best car ever made.
This is a truly great gem of a shop. Found out about this place about a month ago and already can't wait to visit again. Absolutely great guy and a great place!
Such a great shop with a genuine, friendly owner. One of the things that caught my eye is the retro PC games section. That's not something you see very often in retro game stores.
Ooh, so much 80's nostalgia! Those cars are right up my street, definitely the type I'd have had poster of when I was a kid. I'd love to visit but it's a little too far for me, sadly. But if I'm ever down that way I know where I can go!
Arghhhhh. No! This should've been a 30 minute video. Fastest 10 minutes I've ever watched. If it wasn't so far away... Gid luck Retro-Sect awesome store.
A used game shop...that actually cares about the gamer instead of the game, and prices stuff reasonably!? I wish there were shops like this in the USA!!!! Retro game hunting in the US is pointless if you don't have deep pockets...
My life’s dream is to own a business like this. I figure most of my sales would be online, but I’d have it all open like this for the sake of being sorta like a museum. But I’d use the car area for a multiplayer and/or board game area. Maybe have specific games scheduled for multiplayer tournaments at specific times. It’s be such a great way to enjoy the amazing multiplayer experience that’s completely missing on new consoles.
Im a gen z American retro and vintage guy and i own a TPS-L2 Sony Walkman the same model from guardians of the galaxy and I love this ❤ this guy is awesome my kind of guy i would love to hang with
Bro this place is my dream to visit all the of consoles and games for a good price and a hangout place with games that we can play for free and the owner is nice like what is a more genuine store this is a place I wanna visit brings me back to my childhood
Finally an actual collector that wants everyone to enjoy and experience things he love instead of a fake "collectors" that see consoles and games as items just to make money.
Seems like a top guy being fair with the prices because hes actually into it himself, that's so rare nowadays, wish his business all the best
Thank you!
@BenStinson1 nice store and very nice cars man :) beautiful skyline that generation is so under appreciated in my opinion
It’s not rare! I’m still collecting, and I did all this thirty years ago. Sorry Ben, but if you’re not selling online too, it’s not gonna last long 😩
@@retrobloke- I am selling well both in store and online on my website shop. You were actually the first online retro store I bought some items from back in approximately 2010. Items I still have...
What a breath of fresh air, nice prices and an honest store. I wish more people were like this!
Thank you 😊
That game store looks great 👍 🎮

I was able to smell the uploader's breath through the thumbnail. 🤢🤢

If only that place wasn’t half way around the world from me. I’d be there every week.
yeah me too!
I know, where u from men?
Some here
I went there about 6 months ago. It’s truly amazing! One of a kind Retro Game Store. Truly amazing 😻
Just watched your video on it! You picked up some really cool stuff.
@@TheRetroFuture2 Aww thanks mate. Hey, keep up the good work :)
@@TheGebs24 Thank you! You too! :)

Lots of nostalgia for this 80/90s kid here
I was the first customer there when they opened! Lovely Star Trek II Wrath of Khan LCD game watch.
Thank you Chris, I remember that! 😀👍
I hope there is a follow up video telling us about how you went home with that GBA display stand. That place is so cool.
My first GameBoy Advance SP was in a KMart display model. I started working there in 2006, and found it in the storage just collecting dust. I bought it for $20, and it took me forever to get it out of the display casing.
Just like when i was a kid. I spent hours playing the games for free in the store with friends. I really miss those days 😊
Wonderful video Elliot! Thank you for this. I'm not in the UK so I probably won't be seeing that store anytime soon myself, but it's especially because of that that I loved you taking a tour and talking to the owner. Love the enthusiasm of the man, too!
I've ordered from the store twice - both times I've had great service. Good bloke. Nice to see him getting some publicity.
Prices are REALLY decent! It's also nice that you made a video about him, let's hope this way his business will able to flourish more! ❤

Biker Mice from Mars, classic.
I’m not a car person but that Nissan Skyline is a god dam beauty!
The fact that they also sell retro cars as well as videogames and electronic stuff is really cool!
"oh and he sells cars"
I flippin love retro sect and can recommend it to anyone passing by junction 9 on the M5 with time on their hands and an interest in vintage stuff. The time passes so fast there and the prices are good too.
And he sells cars...

So this is only about an hour away from me... I think Ben has a new customer on his way!
What a nice store.
We need more like this one.
What an amazing store! Love the passion of the owner!
I hope i can visit this place someday. Looks really awesome! Thanks for showing us this awesome Shop
I would love to take my kids to this store just to show them what gaming culture was like when I was younger.
I am going to take mine 😊 I have tried to explain what it was like when I was younger and the look on their faces when they said about buying a game and it would be complete, no updates or dlc also couch multiplayer kids just don't understand.😊
LOVE THIS! Would love to see more videos of retro game store small businesses!
The M.A.N.T.A force bag in your intro is right up my street. The toys were my childhood ❤
Amazing shop, so much to see and play. The car collection is one of my favorite ideas of the shop
Thanks for finding and sharing this. Less than an hour away - let’s go!
More vids like this, hell it would be cool for you to check back in at this shop sometime down the line!
That is really cool that the kiosks are playable, probably the only store in the world where you can do that
Can't believe there was something like this less than an hour away from my house and I had no idea! Definitely somewhere to check out ASAP!
Great store and the shopkeeper is so nice.
This place is amazing! It has everything I like and am into! Old cars, old tech, old toys, old games.....going here would bring back a flood gate of memories!
I also love it's run by a passionate enthusiast that loves all the same stuff I do!
awesome looking shop and the game prices were very good. The variety of items was super and nostalgic way to keep retro alive
This store is nothing but pure AWESOME!
Feels like a place I could spend time in evreyday 🤩
omg ducktales on the gameboy cart?1 this place is a gold mine!
Glad to see this shop, it genuinely looks like a cool place to visit as someone who's a nut for the 80's
This is all I remember from the gamestore when I was 13 and so mmuch more. I kinda wanna visit
loved this one. happy to see a place like this exist
Damn if only I lived in the uk I'd buy from him in a heartbeat If he had an online shop I'd def buy from him
I do have online too, but sadly UK only at the mo.
That shop is beyond cool! I would spend an entire weekend in there just looking lol
Great find, and what a strange but beautiful collection of cars. A BX, an Alipine, just bizarre. Love it though
Heaven. I would chill at those cars. Love the BX
I'm french and my uncle had a Citroën BX, my 7yo self thought it has to be the ugliest car ever made 😆
@@GameSpirit1 I had one when I just got my driving license. I could race out all my buddies. Plus, it doesn’t give a shit about a any thresholds on the road. It’s the best car ever made.
one of the best game shops ive ever seen. dudes a legend
Looks like heaven to me lol Retro Gaming & Awesome 80-90's cars!
Very good to hear that he prices based on sold auctions instead of maximum buy it now prices
what kind of fantasy destination is this, retro gaming and alfa romeo combined. It's too good to be true
This is amazing! I can't believe something like this exists.
For those of you in America, 40,000 pounds is about 20 tons.
This is a truly great gem of a shop. Found out about this place about a month ago and already can't wait to visit again. Absolutely great guy and a great place!
Ooo surprise cars! Some cool models, and cool games, I'll have to check it out

Same! Most things are overpriced in the US retro gaming pricing is absurd here and it’s skyrocketed
I think he forgot to say just where the shop actually is. I believe it's near Tewkesbury, which is near the Cheltenham/Gloucester part of the UK
The shop's website is in the video description
It is! Google Retro Sect and all the details are on the website 😊
This guy and his shop is freaking awesome!!! People and and stores like this are 1 in a million
Thanks 😅👍
What a genuinely decent guy!! I’m adding this place to my bucket list
I really enjoyed this video and was a good change of pace.

That entire STORE is a holy grail. Omg. I would kill to spend some time there.
If I lived in that area I would be rolling into that place all the time and hanging out. Looks like such a fun place to chill.
Sounds like a wonderful person! That is an amazing collection!
Wow, this place looks incredible, we'll have to visit it, its not far from us!
that Nissan Skyline is a beauty, cool cars and video games coming together in one place is rad as hell
Elliot this is by far the most enjoyable video that you have done! I find mysekf getting excited for you when watching.
So glad i stumbled across this video. I had a look on there website and i will be purchasing some games for sure😊
Oh god 3 hours away from me on the train but I might have to make the journey , loved this video so much , this shop is a treasure chest ❤
This is amazing. I have to visit this when I’ll visit the UK!
That was an awesome vlog. Ty for showing it. From a fan in Canada, Terry Wolf.
that was awesome, probably the best store showing I've ever seen
The owner/seller seems just as rare as some of the stuff he’s selling!
Im a gen z American retro and vintage guy and i own a TPS-L2 Sony Walkman the same model from guardians of the galaxy and I love this ❤ this guy is awesome my kind of guy i would love to hang with
This store looks amazing! The cars just top it off, definitely making a visit

Thanks for this, I bought about ten gameboy games yesterday from the website and Ben was super helpful.
We need stores like these in the U.S
It’s called GameStop.
@@Nitemerican fuck no. Corporate bullshit small stores with overpriced junk.
@@Nitemericanno they modern games nothing too special
You don't have any independent used game stores?
@Tonysopranoyafinook I was being a smartass. Lol
the prices are ACTUALLY reasonable! Wish my retro shop was like this...
That's not a Shop that's not a Showroom that's a dream of a man cave!
Okay this is absolutely amazing! And a skyline too?! 😍😍😍
Great Video and Excellent music!
That 928 is one of my holy grails.
AN honest man with an honest store.
It's good that he isn't price gouging hardcore like other people are doing. So much nice stuff in there.
That car room is a dream
wish I was closer to this place 👀
6:54 omg the GBA store kiosk!!! :)
What an incredible shop!
Damn, this dude living the dream. Seems like a really good place as well.
This is 90 miles from me. Time to visit Tewkesbury!
Well done Eliot. For once you've shown a destination worth regularly visiting.
Keeps my jaw dropping at every corner of the shop, is so awesome and the prices seems legit to me... What a pity it is not in Spain 🤓
I've got to go to this store when I visit the UK.
I knew it had to be hiding out there somewhere, it took a true knight to find it!
Finally an actual collector that wants everyone to enjoy and experience things he love instead of a fake "collectors" that see consoles and games as items just to make money.
Lovely video, thank you!
What a nice and honest Shop owner! Sadly to far away from me.
This store looks awesome!
