How It Works
Do you have scratched video games lying around that are unplayable, yet you still don’t have the heart to throw them out? Trade them in for cash! At ScratchedGames.com we pay cash via PayPal for your scratched and unplayable video games!
You might have thought about selling your scratched video games at auction online, but after listing fees, final value fees, payment processing fees, and shipping fees, you’ll be lucky if you break even.
Why go through all that trouble paying all those fees, when you can sell your scratched games directly to us?
When trading in your games for cash at ScratchedGames.com, we pay for shipping. Since we pay via PayPal, you will incur a fee to receive your payment, but worry not! We calculate the PayPal fees before sending your payment and pay extra to compensate to for those fees. So the amount of money you expect for your trade-in will be the amount of money you will receive!
We pay a flat rate for scratched video games! No matter the game the price paid is the same, depending on which console the video game is for. Currently we only buy Microsoft Xbox, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PS2, Sony PS3, and Nintendo Wii video games. For more information about our trade-in prices, visit our Pay Scale page.
