Excellent service for selling games

I sold a load of PS2 games to this company. Excellent service from start to finish and quick payment. I was happy with the payment I got because I couldn't be bothered to sell on eBay and felt this was a good compromise. And, unlike some of the book companies I have used, they returned a small number which didn't meet their requirements.
Would use again.

5 Star service

The whole process was so easy. In less than a week from start to payment without leaving home. All it cost me was a box. Very good prices given and they even arranged for the Post Office collection. Thank You Game World.

An excellent trustworthy and professional company.

I have just traded in over 200 GameCube games with ‘The Gameworld’, and I cannot praise them high enough. They pay very good prices, have impeccable communication throughout, and the whole process was seamless, even with a larger trade in like mine. If I streamline my collection further in the future I will certainly be using them again.

Great service from start to finish.

Great service from start to finish.
Very fair prices offered and the collection of my Nintendo 64 went smoothly the following day.
They adjusted the initial pricing to reflect the extra items I had found.
Very good at responding to emails.
All in all, delighted with the service and would thoroughly recommend.

Wow what a winner

Wow what a winner. I did my research and this company came out top on the reviews. We sold our sega mega drives plus cd 1 and lots of games which some were rear. So happy what they offered and I posted off Monday and the money was paid Wednesday. Also paid what they offered us. Fantastic service and will now look at selling one of our other consoles. Most efficient site I have dealt with. Thanks again

Game trade in

Items were collected a day after I placed the order. The games I traded in were received on Monday, and payment had reached my account by Tuesday lunchtime. Incredibly quick turnaround, smooth process, and I got more for the games I sent than I would have using other trade in stores. Thank you.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service
Traded in some PS5 games.
They give instant values, and a free postage labels. Their prices offered was above other companies like CEX.
Payment was received immediately when they received the games.
Highly recommended.

Excellent service!

My first time using this company has been a great experience. In the midst of decluttering and have sent books, CDs, DVDs and games to a few different companies. TheGameWorld is hands down the best experience. I sent my items on the 14th and have received payment today the 17th. I would not hesitate to use this company again and would absolutely recommend them to others!

Great for selling your old games

My second time selling some of my old retro games to TheGameWorld, just as great an experience as the first time. All my games appeared on their database, very competitive prices offered. Just over a couple of hours after submitting my details they had arranged a Royal Mail collection of the items but also sent a postage label as an alternative. A couple of days after I had packaged up and posted the parcel they received it and I was paid out same day the full value I had been quoted, great service and very easy, would definitely recommend!
