Condition Guide

Know What You're Getting Before You Buy

Every item we sell is thoroughly cleaned, tested, and guaranteed to work, so you can buy with confidence. We offer two cosmetic condition options for all products, giving you the flexibility to choose based on your budget and personal preferences. No matter which you choose, functionality is always guaranteed.

Excellent Condition

These items may have some light to moderate cosmetic wear, such as surface scratches or small scuffs, but nothing major. See images below for examples.

What to expect:

• Disc surfaces are in excellent condition, with little to no visible scratching
• Handheld screens are in great shape with no major damage, but may show minor light scratching from normal use
• Cartridge labels are fully intact and well-preserved, with only light wear or slight fading possible
• Consoles, handhelds, and controllers may show light to moderate cosmetic wear — such as faint surface scratches or small scuffs — but are free from major damage or heavy blemishes
• Professionally cleaned, thoroughly tested, and 100% guaranteed to work
