Frequently Asked Questions
What items can be purchased through the Video Game Stock Balancing System?
New and Used games can be purchased. The condition of each item is listed in the search results. In the near future, new and used accessories as well as game consoles will be available for purchase. We purchase up to 4 copies per title at the prices quoted in the stock balancing system. To sell larger quantities, please email an Excel file with titles and quantities to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
What items can be sold or trade-in to the Video Game Stock Balancing System?
On the current version of the system, only video games can be sold or traded-in. In the near future, we will accept accessories and game consoles.
What about shipping? Do I pay to ship my items? How much is shipping on games I order?
You are responsible for shipping your trade-in items to us. The shipping address and further details will be provided on the trade-in confirmation page on the website and you will also receive a copy of the confirmation by E-Mail. There is no minimum or maximum number of items you can sell or trade-in at one time, but you will find it more economical to ship more items at once instead of a lot of little packages.
There is no charge for shipping items you order. As the stock balancing system is designed and intended to "stock balance" large quantities of items in one transaction we do ask that you order/purchase at least 10 items per transaction. A small order fee will be applied to your transaction if the order is less than the minimum order quantity.
How much does it cost to use the Video Game Stock Balancing System?
There is no charge to use the current Beta version of the system. In the future we will offer additional services and various discount structures for a monthly fee, but there will always be a free version of the system and your credit on file will never be held hostage until you pay a monthly fee. A 30 day notice will be provided before any changes affecting your trade-ins, purchases or credit on file are implemented.
What is the pricing structure of the trade-in and selling prices?
On the current Beta version of the system, all users are buying and selling at the same prices. In the future we will offer various pricing structures to large volume users (multi-location chains, video game franchisees, etc) and users paying a monthly fee for additional services.
While there will be many factors affecting the trade-in and selling prices, the base structure for the pricing is as follows:
Trade-in prices that you receive are HIGHER than the recommended CREDIT pricing in the Standard Edition of our Game Price Guide service. If you are using our Game Price Guide service, you can purchase games at the CASH or CREDIT prices and know that you can send in any excess inventory knowing that you'll receive at least as much credit in the system as you paid to your customer. As prices are always changing, you will want to send in excess inventory on a regular schedule. The prices you receive for your trade-ins will be locked in when you complete your trade-in transaction and you'll have 2 weeks to get the items to us to be guarantee those prices. You can't create a transaction in February, but wait to ship the merchandise in June and expect to receive the prices quoted in February.
Selling prices are structured to be LOWER than the wholesale prices offered through our Online Store and Drop Shipping Subscriptions. As there are multiple warehouses of inventory (each with their own pricing strategies) available through our Online Store, Drop Shipping Subscriptions and Video Game Stock Balancing System, you may find the same title offered in multiple conditions and at different prices. Feel free to purchase the version of the game at the price that best fits your needs. If you see 2 listings for the same title in the same condition but there's a $3.00 price difference, ORDER THE CHEAPER ONE before someone else does.
How soon can I use my trade-in credit?
Credit for each trade-in transaction will normally be available 2-3 working days after we receive your package(s). Currently your available credit balance is displayed in the "Buy Games" shopping cart. In the future this credit will be displayed as soon as you log into the site and you will receive an E-Mail when each trade-in transaction is been processed and the trade-in credit is available in your account.
I don't have enough credit in my account to complete my "Buy Games" transaction, what do I do?
Remove items from your shopping cart so the order total is equal to or less than your available credit balance. Or send in more trade-in items and place the order after the additional trade-in credit has been applied to your account.
