Bring & Buy
What is Bring and Buy?
The Bring and Buy is a second-hand market for your old games. Supported by Chaos Cards - bring your old games to sell, and we will sell them on your behalf for cash. You will pay a small registration fee for each item, and 10% of the sale price will be donated to charity. You’ll receive the remaining 90% of the sale proceeds at the event.
Our Bring and Buy is the largest at any UK games convention, possibly the largest in the world!
Who are Chaos Cards?
Chaos Cards has been supporting the games community for the past fourteen years, stocking everything from board games and card games to Lego and plushies!
