The ps2 works great

The ps2 works great, it came on time, I got a nice email saying don't hesitate to contact them if I need help. I got 2 controllers with my purchase and one of them doesn't work. Otherwise, it would've been 5 stars. I didn't try to get a new one. I don't like going through complicated processes. If I need any other vintage game stuff I will use this website again

50/50

Ordering was easy and shipping was on time. The problem I had was that one of the gameboy games I ordered had a dead battery upon arrival, which means no saves. Easy enough fix, but not something I was planning on when the description stated that the batteries had been recently replaced.

Great job, thanks for being an option to get rid of unplayed video games.

This store fairly rated my games I sent. I got the check in the mail, and it was the same as when the games were evaluated on the site. As long as the games are working, they will give you the price you thought you were getting in the first place. Thanks for being an option to sell used games. Given that I sent the games from Oklahoma, the evaluation of the box of games and speed of the check delivery was good. They let me know when they were evaluating the games, and when they were done, let me know when they sent the check. Thanks again guys.

I am very satisfied with my experience…

I am very satisfied with my experience selling nes and sega genesis consoles and games to The Old School Game Vault. The process was smooth and straightforward with clear communication the whole way through. Also, I believe the prices given were more than fair. Good Experience!

The Old School Game Vault is Awesome!

The Old School Game Vault is easily one of the best trade in resources for classic games.

Brandon is awesome. Fast with correspondence and provides very fair deals for games in good condition.

Due to the pandemic, my trade-in experience had a few road bumps that Brandon was professional about and understanding.

I'll be using this site when it's time to purge the collection once again.

cleaning out closets

Had several old game consoles and game cartridges my son no longer wanted. It was easy to check out which ones I could sell boxed them up, they paid the shipping and I got my check quickly. Loved the speed of the service!
