Nintendo Switch Selling Questions

Answers to common questions about selling your Nintendo Switch games.

▶ What Nintendo Switch games don't you buy?

We only buy NTSC-US Nintendo Switch games, and we don't buy sports games older than three years. We do not offer different pricing for Limited Editions or first-print runs. Each title is priced the same, regardless of variant.

▶ Do you buy digital Nintendo Switch games?

No. We only buy physical games. Digital games and download codes can't be sold to us.

▶ What happens if my Nintendo Switch games are rejected?

We'll email you to explain which games were rejected and why. You can choose to have them recycled or returned to you. You're responsible for the shipping cost if you want rejected games returned.

▶ What is the best way to ship Nintendo Switch games safely after selling?

Keep each game in its case, wrap your games in bubble wrap, and pack them tightly in a sturdy box. Put cushioning on the bottom of the box, since packages often get dropped by the carrier, and fill any empty space with padding so nothing shifts during shipping. For loose cartridges, use a protective game case or wrap each cartridge individually before packing.

You'll receive payment within 3 to 4 business days after your order is received and processed, by PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Cash, check, or Amazon Gift Card. Orders over $100 also receive a free shipping label.
