What items do you buy?

How long does it take to sell my items?

The average time it takes to sell items is about the same as a buying transaction

Factors that contribute to how long it takes to sell items include:

  1. Day and time of the week.Weekends and holidays are busier. Weekdays are not as busy
  2. The amount and type of items. Some items will require testing. Higher valued collectibles and music may need the value verified
  3. Organized items by category type will help speed up the process

How do you determine what to pay for my stuff?

  1. We do not determine pricing based on current stock. If we have 500 of an item in stock, we will still pay you the full amount
  2. We factor in the demand, supply, various pricing services and competitor pricing data to determine what we buy and sell items for

  1. YES! Most items come with a 90 day guarantee. For electronics 30 days.
  2. Defective items can be exchanged for the same item.
  3. If the same item is out of stock, stock credit for the amount of purchase will be issued. No cash refunds
  4. For games we offer a buy & try period of 24 hours. If you don’t like the game, return it to exchange for another title. One per person per day.
