Well I'll start with what games I am looking for and etc.:
Super Smash Bros Melee
LoZ Twilight Princess
LoZ Wind Waker
LoZ Ocarina of Time Master Quest
LoZ Four Swords Adventures
Pokemon Colosseum
Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness
Mario Smash Football

There is this site called www.retrogames.co.uk which was good but wondered if there was cheaper and they were In Stock. Has to be a UK website, not USA so I need it in pounds than in dollars. Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately there aren't a large number of good titles for Gamecube so everyone is going to want to own those and jack up the used price.

You can usually get games used quite cheap if you hunt around, for instance Pokemon Colosseum is £13.99 here.

I've always wanted to try the Gamecube versions of Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil.

I do have the first Resident Evil and it is alike to the original but a great revamp, better graphics, changed dialog, feels strange to me at the moment as I have only got it recently, not used to controls or the game itself just yet.
Grew up with Playstation you see.

Can't see AtariAge having UK prices of Gamecube Games, Did see one but selling in US Dollars though.
UK only please.

Sometimes it can be cheaper to import games from the US and other countries; especially if you buy a number of games and get a discount on shipping.

The only problem is that GameCube games are region encoded, but that can be easily bypassed if you have a boot/freeloader disc which is available on eBay.

The following is a good site for the US market:
www.estarland.com

It's also very easy to get the exchange rate for the US Dollar and the British Pound. Just type "dollar to pound" into the Google search engine and you'll get a whole host of sites that can tell you how much a US item costs in UK money.

I'm sure there are UK members there also, but probably a bit more rare.
