Summary
- GAME is downsizing further post-integration, auctioning off consoles and equipment, signaling potential trouble.
- Auction listings include PS5, Nintendo Switches, and minimal gaming memorabilia like a GTA poster.
- Uncertainty surrounds whether office items are purely transitional sales or indicative of deeper company issues.
The writing has been on the wall for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:UK retailer GAME for a while now. The company was and quickly integrated into the Frasers Group, with dozens of stores shutting down in the process and concessions opening in their place. Following this, GAME ended its loyalty card program, stopped in-store pre-orders, and ceased accepting pre-owned trade-ins. It was a huge blow f🦩or the UK's physical video game stores, with ꦿno major chain left operating on the high street.

The ꧒store is charging four times its regular pri🦩ce for postage on the mini tins.
While gamers can still purchase products through GAME online, or in one of its concession stores, there are signs the company could be downsizing even more, with a huge auc﷽tion appearing listing all of the company's warehouse equipment, office equipment, and "assets" th🌳at include "PlayStation, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, PSVR2, and much more." Oh, and an almost 40-inch GTA San Andreas poster.
UK Retailer GAME Auctioning Off Old Equipment And Assets Six Years After Purchase
The listings, which appeared on 🎉 last week, initially appeared to be auctioning off old warehouse and office equipment, including chairs, tables, a pizza oven, a deli counter, vending machines, shelves, ovens, and more. However, a second auction, set to start next week is likely to raise concerns, with the company selling off a range of consoles.
These consoles, which go live on April 18, include various 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5 models, excluding the Pro, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switches, and more.
With an auction like this, you'd hope there would be tons of exciting gaming merchandise from a time gone by, with developers often sending statues and models to retail head offi🐽ces. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case, with the only piece of memorabilia , which has certainly seen better days.
It's unclear whether these items were just part of the GAME offices and are being sold off as the co▨mpany fully transitions into🌱 the Frasers Group or whether there is something more worrying at play.
