Very efficient process and very quick to respond to my inquiries. In addition, Brandon had no trouble accommodating some of my last minute additions prior to final confirmation of the order. The coordination instructions provided to me were simple and easy to follow. I had no issues with shipping, receiving, or receipt of payment. Well done. Thank you.

Will definitely recommend this business to my gamer friends

The price list was clear. The standards for the merchandise were clear. The packaging instructions were well written. The payment was fast and easy. I didn't think the experience would be this painless and smooth, but it was. So, here's a big thank you to the owner for making the selling experience so good. I would definitely recommend this business to my friends who might want to clear their closets.

Terrific first experience

Terrific first experience. High end games were in excellent condition. They were shipped quickly, and with ample communication and care. Reasonable prices on hard to find titles. I’ll definitely check with them before I go to eBay.

Superior Service

Superior Service

The product I ordered was superb in every capacity. The service was excellent, and the condition of the game was like new, as was the case. It was even cleaned (at least, it appeared as such). I will definitely be using them again.

The service was exceptional

The service was exceptional. I received a good price for the games I was selling. The Old School Game Vault paid for shipping and they transferred the funds to my Paypal account within a day or two of receiving the games. I would sell to this company again. I was very satisfied with their service and prices!
Thank you.

Excellent experience with trustworthy site

Excellent experience! I had a box of PS1 games collecting dust for years and was able to quickly and easily scan the bar codes on each game to get price quotes, and mail to Brandon. He was very detailed and professional in his communication. His website also has easy to follow instructions on how to sell to him. I received a detailed breakout of the payment owed to me and an Amazon gift card within a week of mailing them out. I highly recommend doing business with Brandon and The Old School Game Vault.
