Why Choose Retro Sales
Why Choose Retro Sales?
There are plenty of places to buy retro games in Australia. Here's why serious collectors choose Retro Sales.
✅ Certified Power Supplies — Nobody Else Has This
Retro Sales is the only retro gaming specialist in Australia manufacturing power supplies that hold full Australian electrical safety certification. Our RSA-Series units are certified under Global-Mark Certificate GMA-521591-EA, registered on the EESS database, and carry RCM marking. We are a registered Responsible Supplier under the Electrical Equipment Safety System (Supplier No. E9010).
Every other seller is either using the original 30-year-old power brick that came with the console, or selling uncertified imports. We built our own certified solution because we kept seeing consoles damaged by failing original power supplies. If you care about protecting your hardware, this matters.

🔧 Australia's Only Endorsed Console Repair Specialist
We operate repair workshops in both Victoria and Queensland — and we're one of the only dedicated retro console repair specialists in the country. We carry out repairs on behalf of other retro gaming stores, so there's a good chance the console you'd send somewhere else ends up on our bench anyway. Cut out the middleman and come directly to us.
Our repair services are endorsed by major brands including PixelFX. Not many stores in Australia can say that.

📦 Everything In Stock — Ships From Melbourne Today
We are not a marketplace. We are not a dropshipper. Every single item listed on our site is physically in our Melbourne warehouse and available for immediate dispatch. No waiting on third party sellers, no surprise delays, no items that turn out to be out of stock after you've paid.
Free shipping on all Australian orders over $100. Orders typically dispatched within 1-2 business days.
🎮 Tested, Cleaned, and Graded — Every Single Item
Every console we sell is cleaned, tested, and refurbished by our team before it ships. Every game cartridge has its pins cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Every game with a save battery has had that battery replaced. Disc-based games are inspected and resurfaced where needed.
We grade all pre-owned games with Good, Very Good, and Excellent so you know exactly what condition to expect before you buy. No mystery condition listings, no surprise on arrival.
💰 Fair Prices Every Day — No Retail Markup
Running an online-only operation from our Melbourne warehouse means our overheads are lower than any physical store. We pass that directly on to you. You won't find us charging a premium because we have a shopfront to maintain.
We also offer Afterpay and Klarna so you can spread the cost of larger purchases with no interest.
🔄 We Buy Too — Trade In For Cash or Store Credit
We receive multiple trade-ins every day which is why our range is always fresh and constantly rotating. Got games or consoles sitting unused? We'll make you a fair offer — cash to your bank account or store credit at an even higher value.
We buy everything from complete boxed sets to faulty consoles in need of repair.
🌏 Worldwide Shipping — Stocking Japanese and US Hardware
We ship to most countries worldwide. We also import directly from Japan and stock NTSC-J and NTSC-U hardware alongside our PAL range. Our RSA-Series power supplies handle voltage conversion internally — so Japanese and American consoles run directly from Australian 240V mains with no step-down transformer needed.
🇦🇺 100% Australian Owned Since 2014
Retro Sales was founded in Melbourne in 2014 by one passionate collector who was tired of the eBay experience — overpriced items, misleading descriptions, and sellers who didn't know what they were selling. Over a decade later we're still 100% Australian owned and operated, still run by a small team who genuinely love retro gaming, and still focused on being the store we always wanted to buy from.
The name Retro Sales and our logo are registered trademarks in Australia.
