Gametraders is an Australian retailer of computer and video games, accessories, anime DVDs and toys. The company was founded in 2001 by Mark Langford, and they now have 32 stores across Australia after some store closures (at one stage around 46 stores).
Products
Gametraders is a retail business with stores across Australia, selling video games and related products including consoles, accessories, pre played games, pre played consoles and toys, plus toys, collectables, posters, and t-shirts. They are one of the few Australian game retailers specialising in the sale of retro games and consoles that are no longer widely available. Gametraders is currently the only retail chain in Australia that trades consoles and games of any type, whereas other retail chains only deal in current generation video games and consoles and last generation consoles and games. For this reason, Gametraders has become a popular choice for video game collectors in Australia. Gametraders also sells anime DVDs, manga, strategy guides, video game related t-shirts and weapon replicas.
Pre-Played
A large amount of Gametraders' sales comes from its ‘Pre-Played’ range, which consists of consoles and games traded in by consumers for cash or store credit. Gametraders accepts trade-ins of any game, regardless of what console it was designed for, and is the only retail chain in Australia that sells games from any gaming console, including the Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Amiga, NES, Game Boy and many other consoles that are now unsupported by most stores.
Stores
As of July 2009, there are 36 Gametraders stores across Australia and can be found in all states except the Northern Territory and Tasmania.
