New Video Games Auction Site Released

15th June 2005, 9:12pm
Gamers looking for another avenue other than the ever-popular eBay to buy and sell their games, may be interested in the new release of Video Game Auctions (VGA) - http://www.videogameauctions.com

The site is just starting to take off, and the selection is gradually growing but everything appears to be nicely setup. As an exclusive auction site for just video games items and paraphernalia, the site aims to cater to the discerning gaming fan

The large range of categories at the auction site will give gamers the chance to sell absolutely anything related to video gaming, from retro games consoles to full-size coin-ops, PC hardware and the very latest import PSP titles.

The site is the brainchild of Steve Lucas, owner of the popular European online retailer http://www.next-gen.co.uk/. On the launch, Steve commented:

I'm delighted with the response, and the fact that we had gamers literally queuing up to post items before we officially launched the site. I knew the time was right to launch videogameauctions.com, I was increasingly hearing from disgruntled customers and friends who felt that other auction sites were no longer looking after their specialist needs. We've designed our site with gamers in mind and as keen gamers ourselves we have players' interests at heart. VGA is directed 100% at the gaming community, this will ensure that sellers auctions receive maximum coverage from an audience that is interested in their products, not someone looking for a five year old car or a fifty year old Teddy Bear

Whilst the site appears to cater to mainly UK and European customers, Australian customers may also bid or sell items, and find the site of use. There are quite a few Australians that have already signed up to buy and sell their gear.
