The company was founded in 2001 by Mark Langford, and as of mid 2009 the company has 41 stores across Australia down from 50 after numerous store closures. [edit] Products Gametraders deals mainly in video games, and specialises in the trading of older games 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 the de facto retailer of choice for most video game collectors in Australia. Recently, Gametraders has begun selling anime DVDs, manga, strategy guides, video game related t-shirts, weapon replicas, as well as character figurines and plushies. Some Gametraders stores also deal in music CDs and NTSC encoded games (which typically aren't sold within Australia). [edit] 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 welcomes 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. [edit] Stores As of July 2009, there are 41 Gametraders stores across Australia and can be found in all states except the Northern Territory and Tasmania.
