console cart slots. We also sell cartridge cleaners which are a must for keeping

General

The idea for a retro gaming store originated out of the frustration from buying and collecting games and consoles from eBay. The prices were high and often there were issues with sellers not being honest. Our founder decided enough was enough, and he started Retro Sales with a simple mission — to create a huge oasis of retro video games where classic and retro gamers could hang out, reminisce, learn and buy retro video games from a trusted source, and at decent prices. There are a few other staff members who help with orders, shipping, sourcing stock, blog writing, customer servcie, repairs, etc
