Q: anyone ever used this site located in the UK?

Although some of their prices can be iffy, according to the site, most of the stuff they have listed is in stock. Too good to be true?

What everyone else has said... somewhat on the pricey side, but very reliable and they have a great selection.

Another satisfied customer. Their item condition description is very accurate for used items and like the others have said they seem to have everything.

I've bought stuff from Lee I couldn't find elsewhere before, worked out nicely. Prices are a tad high, but the man has to make a living.

I've used them too and will use them again when I get some money to spend. Delivery was very quick.

Lee knows what he is talking about at VGI he is happy to help his customers. If it wasn't for him I would never have found Battle Garrega.

Stock listed is instock and you can have nextday in uk. He is due to get some jpn 360s soon.

Very responsive but unless you're made of money or require a very specific item condition, ought to be used as a last resort since you can find prices at least half their cost for most items.

Trading in games?

Post by BIL »

Thought this might be better asked here, rather than making a new thread. Has anyone traded games in to VGI before? If so, what are their policies (store credit, bought outright, etc)? Sorry if I seem clueless, I pretty much am here. There doesn't seem to be much info on the site, just an "email to trade in" notice. Which I will eventually, but it can't hurt to ask beforehand.

I've bought from them several times, and always been 100% satisfied. They have a few games I'd like to pick up, and I wouldn't mind trading in a sealed PS2 DOJ / Galuda set to get them now rather than in a month or so.

Blue progear £229.

Is that a bad price?

no, but is it phoenixed ? seems a bit cheap to be original.

I don't know why anyone would want the blue version, doesn't it have missing sound samples compared to the green?

Yes.

If I was going for the Progear PCB I would get the green board.

I dunno about the sound samples. Its only the japanese voices and not really that much to do with in game sounds or anything like that (cant have western kids saying JP words which sound like swears now can we)

Aparentley the JP version is harder but how much truth to that I dont know. The game = rape no matter which region you you.
