Any European users here that have any experiences of Game.co.uk?

I've been browsing around their site and they have tons of games for dirt cheap. Most of them are pre-owned though so I'm wondering if they're all in really crappy condition. The low prices and lack of people talking about them is making me skeptical. Everybody talk about good Amazon and Steam deals here all the time but I've never seen anybody mention Game.co.uk.
 
Anyone here have any experience with them?

I've never purchased a pre-owned game from them, but I have placed around 20 orders with them over the last two or three years and never experienced a single problem.

GAME are pretty massive round here, and that's because they aren't half bad. They are reliable.

GAME is the biggest video game store in the UK and I find them to be very reliable and have never had a problem, even with pre-owned games.

I've seen some Game.co.uk deals, haven't tried it yet. I can tell you that Blahdvd.com, Zavvi.com and Play.com are reliable UK based companies tho.
All a hell of a lot cheaper than game stores here in The Netherlands.

I actually used to trade in my old games to Game.co.uk and they are super fussy about making sure everything is in good condition - so if you buy a used game from them it it usually going to be fine. I had a problem once with a used game i bought from them and they gave me a refund the next day.

GAME is huge in the UK, online stuff is usually reliable, though the stores suck.
