The Squid Story
I started out thinking I’d named my store after a squid.
Turns out… it was a jellyfish all along. Whoops.
But that happy accident kind of fits perfectly — chilled, a little quirky, and honest from the get-go. Just like I’m happy to admit the logo mix-up, I’m also upfront about every product I sell. I’m not here to hide behind stock photos or vague descriptions — I want you to know exactly what you’re getting, every time.
My love for gaming started when I was gifted 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 I want to pass on — every time.
At Squid Gaming, everything’s preowned, but properly looked after. Every controller and console is fully tested, cleaned, and working as it should. Every Switch game is face-checked and wiped down before shipping.
I photograph and label every item by condition — Acceptable, Good, or Very Good — and if there’s anything worth noting (like a scratch on a screen, marks on a dock or wear on a case), I’ll always mention it. I ship fast, package with care, offer free tracked shipping, and include free returns — because second-hand should still feel first-class.
I’m not here to be the biggest store. I just want to be your favourite. As a gamer myself, I’ve built the kind of shop I’d want to buy from — reliable, honest, and full of good vibes.
