About Us

🐙 The Squid Story

We started out thinking we’d named our store after a squid.

Turns out… it was a jellyfish all along. Whoops.

But that happy accident kind of fits us perfectly — chilled, a little quirky, and honest from the get-go. Just like we’re happy to admit the logo mix-up, we’re also upfront about every product we sell. We’re not here to hide behind stock photos or vague descriptions — we want you to know exactly what you’re getting, every time.

My own love for gaming started when I was handed a second-hand Nintendo 64 with Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo-Kazooie. That moment stuck with me — not just because of the games, but because of the joy and possibility it opened up. Gaming has been a part of my life ever since — it’s brought me friends, memories, and now, the chance to run my own little store.

That’s why delivering quality matters so much. I know what it’s like to unwrap a preowned game and feel like it’s brand new. That’s the feeling we want to pass on — every time.

At Squid Gaming, everything is preowned, but it’s cared for properly. Every controller and console is fully tested, cleaned, and working as it should. Every Switch game is face-checked and wiped down before shipping.

We photograph and label all items by condition — Acceptable, Good, or Very Good — and if there’s anything that stands out (like marks on a dock or wear on a case), we’ll always mention it. We ship fast, package with care, deliver for free, and offer free returns — because second-hand should still feel first-class.

We’re not here to be the biggest store. We just want to be your favourite. As gamers ourselves, we’ve built the kind of shop we’d want to buy from — fair, clear, and full of good vibes.

Thanks for swimming by. 🐙
