PlayStation Selling Questions

Answers to common questions about selling your PlayStation games and consoles.

▶ How do trade-in programs for PlayStation games work?

A trade-in program gives you an offer for your games, you ship them in, and you're paid once they're checked. Many stores pay in store credit, but we pay in cash, within 3 to 4 business days after your order is received and processed.

▶ Do you still buy Retro PS1 Games?

Yes. We buy PS1 games that are complete with the original case, artwork, and manual. We don't buy loose PS1 discs.

▶ Do you buy PlayStation Imports?

No, we only buy NTSC US Games.

▶ Can I buy video games from you?

Yes. You can buy retro games, consoles, and accessories in our online store.

▶ How to determine the value of used console games?

A game's value depends on how rare it is, how many people want it, its condition, and whether it's complete. Learn more about what affects game values, or search our catalog for our current offer.

▶ Which PlayStation franchises do you buy the most?

We buy the most games from Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, Castlevania, and The Simpsons. Search for any title from these series to see what we currently pay.

▶ Do you buy PlayStation games without the case or manual?

We don't buy loose PlayStation discs, but we do buy loose PS Vita cartridges at half the quoted price. Every other PlayStation game needs its original case and artwork, and older games also need the manual.

  • PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games must be complete with the original case, artwork, and manual. PS4 games need the original case and artwork, plus the manual if the game came with one.
  • Most PS4 and PS Vita games did not come with printed manuals.
  • Condition matters too. Discs can't have heavy scratches or foil-label damage, so check the underside of each disc before adding it to your order.
  • If a disc-based game is missing its case or artwork, leave it out of your shipment, since we can't accept loose discs. Review our quality requirements before shipping to see what can lead to deductions.
▶ How do I get paid for my PlayStation games?

We pay you within 3 to 4 business days after your order is received and processed. You can be paid by PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Cash, check, or Amazon Gift Card.

  • There are no seller fees, and you can see our offer for every item in your trade-in cart before you ship anything.
  • Shipping is free on orders over $100. We email you a prepaid USPS or UPS shipping label, so you can pack your games and send them without paying for postage.
  • When your order arrives, we inspect each item against its listing, process the order, and send your payment.
