Our story
Game gum tree started as the last video rental shelf in the Riverina — a few hundred cartridges, a stack of VHS and a laminated sign that said “Return by Friday”. Nobody returned anything by Friday. So in 2016 we stopped renting and started selling: every game and console gets tested and cleaned before it goes out the door.
