 Tony, any sign of a secondhand chain called Cash Converters 
 in the London area?  The big Bristol branch has closed, but  
Cash Converters were still going a couple of weeks back, so unless 
they've closed very recently they are still trading. 
Cash Converters is a franchised operation.

...
 But their prices 
tend to be out-of-this-world (No, I don't think a battered C64 is worth 
50 quid, OK...). I think I've found exactly one bargain in that chain 
over the years. 
A lot depends upon how clued up the individual store is, and how much of a particular type
of equipment is being sold in the area. 

...
 They may be the only shop where you will find classic
computers, though.  
If you find anything other than consoles, or the occasional PsionII I'd be very
surprised.
