So simple and easy!
Yep, good company to sell to
After checking out reviews of online places to sell my older toys to, I decided on The Old School Game Vault. The site was fairly easy to use after watching the useful videos. Help with questions was an email away. As I always have questions, I found he responded quickly and was impressed by the way I was treated. It was kinda like emailing a friend rather then that business attitude sometimes offered up. The packing instructions were clearly written out so no problems in things broken during transit.
Finally, the important part for most sellers. Payment was fast, the handholding was just as I needed to complete my side of things, and I would definitely work with this company again.
Legit place to sell games
This review is for selling games. I had a few old N64 games I found with my childhood things and was having a hard time finding a place to sell them that was dependable and not eBay. I saw a lot of bad reviews for other sites, but this was one of the few that seemed safe so I gave it a shot. I ended up with fair prices for my games within a week of them getting them in the mail. If I find more games or ever buy another old game system, I would definitely come back.

Great service
Great service! I had some retro games for far too long sitting in a box on the top shelf of a closet and when the big store wouldn't take them, I came across the Old School Game Vault. I was skeptical at first with so many scammers out there, but Brandon was communicative and transparent. The site was super easy to use and it generated a form of all my goods with their suggested prices. I shipped them out (shipping was paid for since my order was over $100) and he let me know when he received the package. Brandon went through the items and tested them (two items didn't work) and promptly issued the expected payment. More companies need to be this efficient, transparent, and communicative. Thanks Brandon!
Excellent experience
Once I had my order entered, I had a shipping label the next day. Heard back in under a week on final amount. Super easy and traded for way more than other options!

I was an early adopter of Sega Saturn and found that it was still functioning after all these years.
Found Old School Game Vault was doing business during the pandemic and couldn't believe that I had something of potential value.
