Primed and assembled in good condition (models will not need to be stripped or re-assembled)
We offer 20% of the current MSRP for most mainstream games, with an additional 6% (for a total of about 25%) bonus for store credit trade in.

We offer 15% of the current MSRP for most mainstream games, as this condition is pretty undesirable for most players, besides the “do it yourselfers”. Items in this condition have a tendency to sit unsold for quite sometime, so we try to not deal in items of this nature as much as possible.
