The Old School Game Vault - A Great Place to Sell Your Games

I have sold a number of items to The Old School Game Vault and they have never disappointed me. My recent experience with the Old School Game Vault in January 2026 was also a success. This company is honest, fair and trustworthy. After receiving the items, payment is within a few days. The company also communicates very well and keeps the seller informed about every step. I highly recommend selling your old games and systems to the Old School Game Vault (A+ rating from me).

Absolutely recommend!!

It was great doing business with Brandon! I had a Nintendo Switch and an assortment of older Nintendo games that I needed to sell and he had the best prices, a super easy process, and made the payment in a very timely manner. I absolutely recommend doing business with The Old School Game Vault!

Great experience, definitely recommend

I have used The Old School Game Vault twice now and have had a great experience both times. The process is very easy and quick. They send you a USPS label to ship your items. Payment is very quick. I will definitely use again in the future!

The final amount of our transaction was $3,003.87

I sent the game vault about 111 games, which came out to just around $3,000 according to the quote I got on their website. The process was quick and efficient.

They sent me two pre-paid UPS shipping labels, then quickly followed up the same day the packages were delivered with a nice email letting me know the packages arrived safely.

They let me know that they would need a few days to process the order, and test the contents of each package. After a couple of days they let me know, everything checked out and worked and issued instant payment to my bank account through Zelle. The final amount of our transaction was $3,003.87.

I can’t recommend this company enough, how many places online can you send $3,000 dollars’ worth of merchandise and actually get paid for it?

These guys are rude

I sent in a PS2, a Wii U, and 3 GameCube controllers earlier this month. They did receive my shipment, I got what they quoted. I wanted a check since I don't use PayPal or Zelle. The expected delivery date was 2/24 but I don't know if that's when it's sent out or when I can find it in the mail. I asked about it today only to get a rude response.

Well, screw you! I just asked an innocent question to clear up confusion and this is how you reply?

Edit 2/28: It's now 4 business days since they supposedly sent the business check and I still haven't received it. I can consider it lost in the mail at this point. And the owner says it's my fault for choosing an outdated payment method. Um, not everyone can use PayPal or Zelle, moron. Or did you forget that?

At this point, I don't even care anymore. If it does arrive, great. If not, whatever. Those old game consoles were taking up space in my room anyway. At least you'll find them a good home, I'll give you that.

Fast, Easy & Trustworthy! Great Experience!

The Old School Game Vault is the best!!

Brandon was a pleasure to do business with, always kept in touch by email to update the progress of my order!

Let me know beforehand any deductions that would take place from his original quote. So you know exactly what you are getting, depending on the condition of the games you send.

I absolutely would recommend The Old School Game Vault to anyone & will be to family & friends

Fast, Easy Process, with great communication & prompt payment!

Thanks Brandon

Great Experience Start to Finish!

The website was easy to use and provided immediate pricing. After the order submission, Brandon's clarity of directions, communications, and documentation were all excellent.
