Trade in Video Games
Here at the Game Center we love retro games. Along with trading cards, pop culture, board and roll playing games, it will always be the heart and soul of our store. We offer generous trade credit for your unwanted preowned games. The best thing about our trade in policy is that your credit lasts forever and can be used both online and in store!
In the past we have only accepted trades in store, however we understand life gets in the way and taking boxes full of goodies is hard work. So, we now can accept distance trades!
What is a distance trade?
It is the same as trading your games in store, the only difference is you can now do it online. Just send us some photos via email, we’ll come back to you with a no obligations quote within 48 hours. You can then either bring the games or send them in to us within 72 hours. We check all the items and then apply the store credit to your account!
How do I send you photos?
Just email us at info@thegamecenter.store with a list of your games and consoles, and photos of the games. No quotes will be given without clear photos showing the front and back of all the games. Here’s some good examples.
Make sure you take the photo in a well-lit room, but don’t have any games covering anything else. The above photo is an example of what not to do.Here you can see clearly the front and back of the games, plus the contents of each game including the manual and the back of the disk.
For consoles we recommend you show a photo of the console playing a game if possible. If you cant get it to work, we can always test it out in store and try get it working for you.
I live far away or I’m real busy, how do I send you the games?
Pack your items well in a strong box using plenty of bubble wrap or packing beads. The cost of sending us the package is your responsibility and we cannot take responsibility if your games are lost or damaged in the post.
We recommend using a shipping method that comes with full tracking and insurance for high value trades.
The delivery address for all our mail is the store address:The Game Center
2/9 Yarmouth Pl
Smeaton Grange, NSW, 2567Be sure to include your full contact details to complete the process.
We reserve the right to refuse games for any reason. If refused you will be given the option to pay the postage cost to have your games returned to you.
Added To Cart :Add To Cart Failed :prouduct successfully added to wishlist !The Grading Guide
Our website uses a number of conditions, from Near Mint to Damaged and every card is priced accordingly. We choose the industry standard of TCGPlayer.com for our condition grading. The following guide is provided to you so that you know what to expect when purchasing a card from us. It also can be used as a guide for what you should classify your cards at if you are considering trading them into us.
Near Mint
Cards in Near Mint (NM) condition show minimal to no wear from shuffling, play or handling and can have a nearly unmarked surface, crisp corners and unblemished edges outside of a few minimal flaws. A Near Mint card may have a tiny edge nick or a tiny scratch or two, but overall look nearly unplayed with no major defects or flaws.
The acceptable range of cards within the Near Mint condition include both cards with no imperfections and cards with a few minor imperfections.
NEAR MINT FOIL
On foil cards, wear and blemishes are more easily noticed. As a result, grading Near Mint Foils (NMFs) is fairly simple: They canʼt have any scratches, clouding, print defects or visible damage or marks. Near Mint Foils are nearly pristine cards because itʼs the most scrutinized card condition.
Lightly Played
Cards in Lightly Played (LP) condition may have minor border or corner wear or even just slight scuffs or scratches. There are no major defects such as liquid damage, bends or issues with the structural integrity of the card. Noticeable imperfections are okay, but none should be too severe or at too high a volume.
The acceptable range of cards within the Lightly Played condition include both cards with a handful of minor imperfections and those with a few more noticeable imperfections.
LIGHTLY PLAYED FOIL
Lightly Played Foils (LPFs) show minimal wear and very few surface flaws. Any flaws such as scratches are very slight, and no major imperfections or flaws should exist. Scratches in the art box tend to be more noticeable and factor more heavily than other flaws. Foils in Lightly Played condition may also have slight fading or signs of wear or slight warping.
Moderately Played
Cards in Moderately Played (MP) condition can have border wear, corner wear, scratching or scuffing, creases or whitening or any combination of mild examples of these marks.
A Moderately Played card may have some form of a more major marking, such as creasing that doesnʼt affect card integrity, but not in combination with other issues such as scratches, scuffs or border/edge wear and not impacting a large area of the card.
MODERATELY PLAYED FOIL
Warping, clouding, scratching and a little flaking are all fine on Moderately Played Foils (MPFs). They are also allowed to have minor border wear. As long as there are no major defects, these minor flaws are okay on MPFs.
Heavily Played
Cards in Heavily Played (HP) condition show a severe amount of wear. Cards with less than 30% of the surface being liquid damaged are typically accepted but may be considered Damaged if especially detrimental. HP cards can have one small instance of missing ink (such as if something is stuck to a card, then removed and pulls away part of the card), along with major creasing, whitening and border wear if the card can still be sleeve playable.
Damaged
Cards in Damaged condition can exhibit a tear, bend or crease that may make the card illegal for tournament play, even in a sleeve. If more than 30% of the card is damaged by liquid, it's considered Damaged. Cards in Damaged condition may have extreme border wear, extreme corner wear, heavy scratching or scuffing, folds, creases or tears or other damages that impacts the structural integrity of the card. (Note: No one likes to receive a card that is covered in a foreign substance, such as food, liquid or other material. Cards like these are not accepted through TCGplayer.)
Heavily Played and Damaged Foils
Heavily Played Foils (HPFs) and Damaged Foils follow the same rules as their non-foil counterparts.
