How Do I Post My Items?

During trade-in checkout, you're given the option of post office drop-off (we provide a QR code) or free Royal Mail collection. Once you've completed checkout you'll recieve an email with packaging guidelines. Your packaging doesn't have to be pretty (we like used bubble wrap and old newspapers), just make sure everythings protected and secure for transit.

How Will I Be Paid?

Once we've received and verified everything is as described, we arrange payout the same day. On trade-in checkout, you'll have the choice between Bank Transfer or PayPal.

Can My Quoted Price Change?

Only if your item does not match the description (e.g., excessive wear to the box of a SNES game). We will always discuss your options with you before finalizing anything though.

How Long Is My Price Guaranteed For?

Incomplete trade-in baskets reset after three days. Once you've completed checkout, you'll have 7 days to send your item(s). After this time, you'll need to start the trade-in again.
