Firstly this company has a great site

Firstly this company has a great website to enable transactions. Secondly, dealing with The Game World for valuations was extremely fair and courteous. Thirdly, they are very prompt at advising status and payments. Highly recommended

Would thoroughly recommend

Created my sell order on Monday afternoon. Postman collected the parcel on Tuesday afternoon. The money was in my bank account on Thursday morning. It couldn’t have been easier and the prices they paid were very good too.
Would thoroughly recommend.

I have done 10 orders with them now

I have done 10 orders with them now, it's the most easiest company to use. The website is easy, the postage label is brought to you by the postman at your door. The payment is instant, their prices they give on some games is brilliant. There are games I have sold them that they have paid £10 more in cash than what Cex gives for the same item. I have never had any item not being processed or failed, they have all been accepted.

Excellent customer service, easy to work with

The Game World have been so easy to deal with, with most items easily found on their website, arranged collection of the packages and excellent customer service. I had an issue with my package being delivered to them and they went above and beyond to help me out with it. Prices are much better than other sites such as ziffit. Would recommend 100%!!!

Great service and exactly as described

Best rates on the market that I could find. Was quoted between £8 and £60 for 8 games (4 x PS5 and 4 x Switch)
The Game World quoted £72.50 for the same 8 games. The process was really easy, collected by Royal Mail the next day and processed and paid the day after. WOW i didn't expect full payment that quickly!
Really impressed with the communications, information provided and timeliness of processing my order. 5* from me and will definitely be using them again over CEX, Jiffit, etc.

Amazing

Absolutely brilliant experience with the game world, offered far more than musicmagpie and the rest, you don’t have to pay for postage and within 48 hours of posting the goods I had the money in my account. 10/10 will definitely be using again.

Great Service! Highly Recommended

I recently used TheGameWorld to sell my unwanted games and had a fantastic experience. The process was straightforward: I received a quote, had my items collected by Royal Mail, and within 1-2 days of posting, I received confirmation and payment in my account.

I highly recommend TheGameWorld over competitors like Cex or MusicMagpie for their efficient and reliable service.

Excellent selling experience

I sold PS4 games. The process was very easy to follow and I got good price for my games. The response from the team was very good and timely. Initially, I mistakenly sent the wrong games and then TheGameWorld team sent them back to me for free. Then I posted the correct games again and they were processed quickly.

Absolutely recommend

Absolutely recommend, great trade in prices, excellent and speedy customer service; I got a reply within the hour after making an enquiry asking to change my parcel pick up to a drop off. Dropped it off 15:45 at the post office and had the money less than 24hrs later!

A Fantastic Consumer Experience

What a fantastic company! I entered all my products to sell Friday late afternoon, Saturday morning the Postman collected the box and today (Sunday) I received payment for everything! I can not believe how easy it was. I will definitely be using them again and will be recommending them to all my family and friends.

Very good service

Very good service: I posted the items on Friday, they arrived and were inspected and I received my agreed cash amount on Saturday afternoon. Email communications were friendly and professional, I couldn't be happier with this company.
