Awesome transactions

I’ve done business with this company twice now selling old games and it’s always great. Easy transactions with prompt payment, and everything explained.

Great communication

Recently I was trying to sell my old collection of snes and gamecube games. Old School games offered me about $300 more than another company I previously contacted. Old School (Brandon) made it easy and he communicated every thing very promptly and honestly. It was a pleasure doing business with them. Shipping games and receiving a payment, I found this company made it easy, they were fair and forthcoming.

Would reccomend to anyone trading in old games

Communication was excellent and the shipping to the store for trade in was very quick with the free label they issued me to print out. Brandon always emailed me to check in with the process and updated me when the package arrived. Literally the best time I've ever had selling something online.

Best online selling experience

I recently was looking to sell off some of my video game collection online and stumbled on The Old School gaming vault. I was hesitant at first due to being scammed before online but Brandon was on point with everything. The prices were fair, communation was great and overall it was a great experience. Definitely will be doing business again.

Super good experience

I was able to conduct most of the sale of the Nintendo games for several systems online. Brandon followed up quickly and sent the shipping label as soon as possible. I sent the games off to him and he had them reviewed for playable condition within one day of receiving them. The very next day the amount that I was told the games would be worth was in my bank.

This was an awesome experience

This was an awesome experience, traded in a bunch of old PS1 games and the transaction was a total breeze! They paid for the shipping costs and supplied a FedEx label. I packaged all the stuff up and sent it off and within a week I was fully paid via Paypal. Brandon was totally cool and friendly. This place is the real deal, folks!

Highly recommend for selling games

Brandon was very communicative and reasonable in his assessments. I was super hesitant at first, but his communication reassured me that he wasn’t going to leave me in the wind. Highly highly recommend and would use again in a heartbeat with no fear next time! Thanks Brandon!

Fantastic seller/buyer

Fantastic seller/buyer. Sold a number of old games, and actually got more than I was quoted. On top of that shipping was free, they kept in constant contact with updates, and the whole process was incredibly simple, quick, and painless. 10/10, an excellent experience.
