What affects the value of my video games?
Title, condition, and completeness matter most. We do not quote prices without seeing the items, but these are the things we look at.
Condition
Clean labels, unscratched discs, and cases without cracks matter. Working condition matters most for consoles.
Completeness
The original box, manual, and inserts usually make a game worth more than a loose copy.
Sealed or graded
Factory sealed and professionally graded games are valued differently from opened copies.
Title and demand
Some titles are in high demand with collectors. Others are very common. We tell you honestly which is which.
Variants and region
Special editions, limited runs, and region differences can change what a game is worth.
Consoles and extras
Original controllers, cables, and boxes help. Modded or heavily yellowed systems are looked at case by case.
What video games don't we buy?
We are honest about fit. These usually are not a match:
- Reproduction carts, bootlegs, and pirated copies
- Broken or deeply scratched modern discs that will not play
- Digital codes, accounts, and downloaded games
- Water damaged or moldy games and systems
- Items we cannot resell. If something is not a fit, we say so honestly.
