About Me

Hello there. My name is David. Welcome to my website. Geek Overload was started back in 2011, when I was looking to build something to list my consoles and games, purely so I could keep track of what I had, so as to avoid buying duplicates. From then, I added a shopping cart to sell duplicate games I no longer wanted and the site has evolved from there. Although this site is very much a one man hobby site, I still aim to give the same service that you would expect from larger sites. That involves providing a wide range of items for sale, with fair prices and accurate descriptions, but also good customer service prompt delivery and helpful responses to any questions.

Questions Before You Buy

Store Bio

Each item comes with an honest description and an accurate photograph.
