Supa Games is a cult video-game store run from a lockup on Inverness Street, Camden. We opened in 2019 on a budget of one re-flowed Mega Drive, and we've never sold a thing we wouldn't keep on our own shelf.
Vault 03 is a railway-arch lockup behind Camden's Inverness Street market — roughly forty square metres, three workbenches, two soldering rigs, a CRT calibration corner and a Royal Mail collection slot in the front wall. We don't have a high-street shop window because the whole budget went into intake, photography and the bench gear. Visitors come by appointment, Tuesday to Saturday.
The shop trades as Supa Games Trading Ltd (Companies House 15487102), VAT-registered under GB445 1290 03. We carry public liability, third-party warranty cover for the refurb floor, and we're members of the UK Trading Standards Approved Code scheme — receipts, invoices and warranty paperwork available on request.
We do source intake from estate clear-outs, regional collector wind-downs, defunct rental shops, the occasional Twickenham car-boot. We grade each item before it goes on the shelf. We refurb consoles in-house — three benches, three pairs of hands, every system gets opened up. We anchor prices against the last six weeks of actual sale-comp, not RRPs from 2001.
We don't carry day-one releases, we don't operate a points system, we don't take affiliate money from publishers, we don't ship grey-market hardware, and we don't run a "loot box" model on the Friday Drop. A drop is exactly what it says — a list, a price, a tracked box.
Every item ships with a 14-day no-questions return window. Refurb consoles carry a 12-month rig-fault warranty — if a system that left the bench fails on you inside the year, we cover the post both ways and either fix it in Camden or swap it. Read more on the returns page.
The people you'll actually meet if you walk into the lockup on a Tuesday afternoon.

Bench 01 — PS1, PS2, Saturn, Dreamcast. Marcus can re-cap a PSU faster than the rest of us can find the schematic. Trained at the Repair Café network, certified for lead-free station work.
Bench 02 — N64, GameCube, Wii, Xbox 360. Built her own RGB-modded N64 at fifteen. Maintains the calibration corner for the SNES Super Scope and Sega Light Phaser stock.
Runs the pad-bay quality-control loop — stick drift tests, button presses, IR sensor sweeps. Insists, accurately, that DualShock 2 is still the best controller ever made.
Does the brown-paper wraps, hand-writes the despatch notes and walks the trolley to the Royal Mail handover three times a day. Knows every postal worker on the Camden run by name.
Answers the inbox and the phone. Studied accountancy at LSE, walked into the lockup in 2021 to buy a Saturn, never quite left. Will personally check on your warranty case within the hour.
