Antiques and Game Stores
Hello everyone! I’m an international student seeking your advice. I’ve had no luck finding information on Google, so I’m reaching out for help.
I’m looking for two types of stores that are somewhat related:
-
Places that sell historical or antique items—just a nostalgic trip down memory lane. I’m interested in vintage decor, old tools, and weapons.
-
Shops that specialize in video games, but not CeX. I’m hoping to find smaller, less mainstream stores that offer older games.
Ideally, I’d like these stores to be located near Sydney, but I’m open to traveling around the wider NSW area as well. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
