Bring & Buy

What is Bring and Buy?

The Bring and Buy is a second-hand market for your old games. Bring your old games to sell, and we will sell them on your behalf for cash. You will pay a small registration fee for each item, and 10% of the sale price will be donated to charity. You’ll receive the remaining 90% of the sale proceeds at the event.

Our Bring and Buy is the largest at any UK games convention, possibly the largest in the world!
