Needed $$$ and was paid as promised

I really needed some money, and I decided to sell off all of my old stuff, and I found them through a google search. Brandon was super responsive and I was paid within a few days of him receiving my package, and I was paid more than expected. I 100% recommend, and I'll definitely be back should I find anything else to sell. Thank you so much!

Brandon - you took time to answer every question I had in regards to selling my TG16 system and games, I was very thankful to do business with someone that has the integrity that you have. You follow through with everything you say on your site, to the letter, and you make the process so simple. For those looking for a place to sell your system or buy games, you're in good hands with Brandon!

Sonic Jam Import

The item arrived at my shipping address on the next business day, and was reasonably priced. Brandon was a pleasure to deal with.

Brandon was great and easy to work with. He kept me updated on every step of the order. I sent a big order in. I was kinda nervous. But Brandon blew away my expectations. Payment was made quickly. So glad I found the old school game vault.

The Old School Game Vault is AMAZING!

I had been collecting video games and consoles for decades and I loved them dearly and when I was ready to let my collection go I wanted to find a good price for all of my items. The Old School Game Vault was the perfect place to see what my games and hardware was worth and to sell them to someone that probably loves video games more than me! Totally legit and easy and fast. Brandon was attentive and nice. I packed up 2 big boxes of goodies and sent them off and he sent me a big payment for all of it. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Awesome Customer Service and Experience

Being used to going to brick and mortar stores to trade/sell my old games, I had my reservations about how this would go down. The amount quoted to me was way more than I would've received at Game Stop, which also raised my eye brow. But, I decided to give this a shot... and I'm glad I did! Brandon kept me updated every step of the way, making this process and experience easy and comfortable! He also helped me identify a counterfeit game which, after googling, found this is way more common than I would ever imagine. That would be the one thing I would suggest, double check all your games to make sure they're legit. Even if you think they are, do it anyway! There's documentation on the website to help you with this. I highly recommend The Old School Game Vault!

I was ready to throw out all my old gaming items, and stumbled upon The Old School Game Vault. Brandon was very easy to work with and the transaction was taken care of within a week. I highly recommend their services.

I recently sold a few games to them and had a wonderful experience! Their website is very easy to navigate and use. Brandon makes sure to stay in contact with you once you’ve placed your shipment to keep you updated on the process so you’ll always be informed of where your order is and what stage of processing it’s in. They are extremely well priced when buying and selling. I will definitely use them again for both selling and buying older games!
