How To Sell Your Video Games (Hint: It's Easy)
Selling your used video games online is easy and convenient, and you will definitely get more for your games than you will at your local pawn shop or
video game trader, as we don't have the overhead that brick-and-mortar shops have. You can also find out exactly how much your games are worth at
sellavideogame.com before you ever commit to anything, so shop and compare! We always give shipping credits for your trade-ins so that the cost of shipping
doesn't eat away at your profits. Read on to find out the easiest way to sell your games to us:
- Step 1: Figure out the games you want to sell
- We takes games from all of the categories listed on our site, and you can use our multi-search tool to find up to 50 items at once. Please note that we don't buy some games
that have an unusually low resale value (they won't show up on our site).
- Step 2: Read the tradein requirements
- For cartridge games, we will buy them with just the cart provided they aren't in bad shape. For disc-based video games, they must have the
case and original artwork. Manuals aren't required, but we deduct 20% of the value if you don't have them. Requirements for trading in a game
can be found below each individual game on the product pages.
- Step 3: Lookup your games and add them to your sell cart
- Our system works just like most online shopping carts, except you are selling the items in your cart to us, not buying them. You
can elect to be payed via PayPal (preferred) or money order. You don't even have to register on our site - we only need an email address and
your name to pay you (PayPal only, as we would need an address if we're going to send you a money order)
- Step 4: Ship your games to us
- When you sell over $25.00 worth of used video games and accessories to us, we will give you a 15% shipping credit, which is automatically
added to your order. For example, on a tradein value of $30.00, your would get a $4.50 credit, or a total tradein value of $34.50. If you're savvy, you can even make a couple dollars off of the shipping credit!
- Use any carrier you like - UPS is recommended for packages over 2lbs, as the Post Office gets kind of pricy after that. Both carriers offer
free boxes if you sign up with them, which doesn't take very long - just go to USPS User Registration or UPS Registration and follow the appropriate links to get your free shipping supplies.
- We will need to receive your items within 20 business days of you initiating a trade, at which pay you may extend your order for another 20 days (we will re-calculate your trade in value). At our discretion, we may remove the trade from the system if you don't show any inclination of sending the order in.
- Step 5: Get paid
- Once we receive your games, you will get paid within 48 hours if you elected to be paid via PayPal, or 3-5 business days if you choose a money
order. Of course, your payment is contingent on the games meeting our tradein requirements. If
you by accident sent us some games that don't meet our requirements, you can elect to have them sent back (your shipping/handling expense) within
2 weeks of us notifying you. Otherwise, we'll put them in the round file or donate them to Goodwill or some other charity. Basically, don't send
stuff you wouldn't buy yourself.
