What follows are a few quick tips and best practices to get the most out of your unwanted video games.

###  Make Sure They are in Good Condition

You want to make sure that all your games are in tip-top condition before you sell them, you don’t want to pack them up and post them off only to have to get them sent back because they are too damaged to use. Just play it safe it’s always a good idea to sift through what you are trying to sell and give everything a good clean and a once over to check for anything that could affect its value.

### Pack Them Well

So, you have checked through everything and it’s all primed to get packed up but the last thing you want to happen now is for your games to get damaged in transit. Play it safe and pack everything up tightly so it won’t rattle around in the box and run the risk of breaking.

### Make Sure Everything is There

When you are checking through the condition of your old games, keep an eye to make sure all the original guides, manuals and other inserts are still in the case with the game. 

### Genuine/Original Copy

It’s crucial that the games that you are selling are original copies and not pirated or burned discs. Often, it’s easy to check this simply by looking at the disc and the case, if it’s not an original game then the artwork may be discoloured or misaligned or just different.


So, whatever the reason is for selling those unwanted games whether you are saving up for a new release or just to clear some space, following these quick tips can help you achieve your goal in no time.

Item Condition Guidelines

Key Terms and Conditions

Following our simple guidelines will ensure your items reach us in the condition you sent them. Simply follow our guide below and you’ll have your items packed in no time!

## Use the correct number of boxes

Pack your items into the correct number of boxes as determined by our clever box calculator. When creating multiple offers please do not mix offers in boxes and ensure the label affixed corresponds to the contents. This means we can easily track your items – ensuring you get paid faster.

Each box needs a separate label, extra labels can be found in your account.

## Box sizes

Your box should weigh no more than 15kg and be no more than 120cm in length. If you add the two shortest dimensions and multiply them by two, the total calculation should be under 225cm.

## High quality packaging

Whatever you decide to use to package your games – make sure it’s strong and durable. Corrugated cardboard is a great choice as they’re cushioned, and heavy duty.

## Secure your items

Bubble Wrap is the ideal material to secure your items in the box and prevent damage. Try to pack heavier items first and don’t use a box that’s too large – your items will move around and could damage one another. Use strapping where possible to seal and secure your box.

## Double check your items

It might sound obvious but make sure you’re sending all the items that are listed in your selling basket.

## Remove any existing labels

Remove any labels, hazardous materials indicators, and other previous shipment labels. Ensure your label is attached securely and the barcode is not obscured by tape. This will allow your box to be easily tracked – meaning you get paid quicker!

## Post within 7 days

Prices offered for games, books, CD’s and DVD’s remain in place for 7 days, so to make sure you get the cash you’re expecting, please post your items within this time frame.



- ## Packaging Dont's
- 
- ❌  **Badly packaged**
- Don’t use flimsy, or damaged boxes as they may receive further damage whilst in transit. Ensure the box is in good shape and not worn out.
- 
- ❌  **Label as fragile**
- Labelling your boxes as ‘fragile’ or ‘handle with care’ aren’t a substitute for careful packing.
- 
- ❌  **Don’t allow contents to move**
- Choose the appropriate size of box for your items, try not to under-fill boxes (these could collapse) and over-filled ones might explode.
