Do you accept non-working consoles?
Yes. As a dedicated repair center, we frequently purchase broken hardware for parts recovery or full restoration. Payouts are understandably lower, but we ensure dead units don't go to waste.

Quick Answers
How do you verify authenticity?
We open high-value cartridges to verify the PCBs and inspect labels for reproduction telltales. We strictly do not buy or sell bootleg copies or unauthorized reproductions.
Is store credit worth more?
Absolutely. We typically offer 20% to 30% more value if you opt for store credit over cash, depending on the current inventory demands.
Do I need an appointment?
For single items or small stacks, walk-ins are welcome anytime. If you have multiple bins or a large complete collection, please contact us beforehand so we can allocate proper time.
