I got a converter that was supposed to allow me to play pc engine games on my turbografx 16. It doesn't work.

I received my PS1 Greatest Hits MGS game and Disc 1 was badly damage during normal delivery!

I received my PS1 Greatest Hits Metal Gear Solid game discs by The Old School Game Vault online store during when it was delivered and one of the discs is badly damage with a big scratch on the top data layer side where the artwork is on the Disc 1 Metal Gear Solid Greatest Hits Disk. I am reaching out to the store about getting a partial refund since Disc 1 Metal Gear Soid is posing some issues and still have not heared back from the online store at all. I phone the old school game vault last week or within 4-10 days about the issue and still nothing. The game was delivered to my home at July 13, 2020, that was 2 1/2 weeks ago during the time i notice the problem.

I am not to well happy because when the discs or game was delivered on my end i examined both game discs and that is when i notice there was a problem with PS1 Greatest Hits Metal Gear Solid Disc 1 only being an issue with what I saw on the discs.

Awesome Experience - Easy to use!

Awesome! Awesome experience!

I am cleaning out my apartment and found a bunch of old games that I was worried that would need to go into a landfill. I thought about Ebay etc. but a bunch of sites that I found are hard to use. I came across "The Old School Game Vault" and I have to say my experience was wonderful. I checked the games on the site and found the corresponding price - mailed the games back and that was it. Quick and easy. I would surely use this site again in the future, it was really great!!!

Nice and Easy

The process was nice and easy, there were offers for games that I didn't see anywhere else, and the guidelines for shipping and how the games are evaluated were straight to the point. I would definitely recommend and come here again.

Great experience!

The Old School Game Vault is a great way to sell those old video games around the house! Brandon was great to deal with and kept me updated on the status. The entire process was straightforward and I received my payment very quickly. I would happily do business with Brandon and The Old School Game Vault again.

Wonderful company!

I had an amazing experience with The Old School Game Vault! I sold off a sizable video game collection very quickly, efficiently and at reasonable prices. Brandon was very professional and communicated with me at each step of the process. Payment was processed quickly and was in line with the quote I was given at the outset. I gladly would do business with The Old School Game Vault again in the future.

Working with Brandon has been a seamless transition from the initial point of contact to the end of sale. Given that this was the first time I was selling video games online, I was very hesitant to sell my entire collection let alone ship it to someone who I don’t know who lives in another state. I do not regret choosing Brandon’s company to work with. Brandon quotes each product fairly and takes the time to work with you. He’s an honest and punctual business man to work with. I would definitely recommend him and his company to anyone considering to sell their inventory.
