Xbox One Console Selling Questions

Answers to common questions about trading in your used Xbox One console and controllers.

▶ What Xbox One consoles are you buying?

We buy the original Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X, plus genuine Microsoft wireless controllers, bundled or standalone. We don't buy Kinect sensors or wired controllers.

▶ What accessories are required for an Xbox One trade-in?

No accessories are strictly required, but missing items lower the offer. For full value, include the console, a power cord, an HDMI cable, and one genuine wireless controller with its sync cable. The original Xbox One also needs its external power brick. Don't include any 3rd party accessories in the bundle. Mark any missing items on your console's listing before submitting your order.

▶ Do I need a local store to trade in my Xbox One?

No. The Old School Game Vault is a nationwide mail-in buyer, so you can trade in your Xbox One from home and get paid in cash, not store credit.

▶ How do I trade in my Xbox One console?

Select your Xbox One console on this page, mark any missing items, and click "Sell It" to add it to your trade-in cart. At checkout, enter your information and choose how you'd like to be paid. We process orders in batches, so expect your order confirmation email within 24 to 48 hours of submitting. Orders of $100 or more receive a free shipping label.

▶ What is the best way to ship an Xbox One console safely?

Wrap the console in bubble wrap and pack it in a sturdy box with cushioning on all sides. Put extra cushioning on the bottom of the box, since packages often get dropped by the carrier. Put the controller, sync cable, power cord, HDMI cable, and power brick (for an original Xbox One) together in a Ziploc bag to keep those accessories together. Fill any empty space so nothing shifts during shipping.

▶ How fast will The Old School Game Vault pay me?

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. If your package arrives on a weekend or holiday, we won't start processing it until the next business day.

▶ Can I buy Xbox consoles from you?

We don't have an Xbox section in our store yet, but you can shop for retro games, consoles, and accessories in our online store.
