One fixed cut per flaw. Shown before you ship.
Tell us what’s wrong and your offer drops by the cut below. Nothing more, and nothing decided after we’ve got it.
Two issues don’t stack: the bigger cut counts. Bargain-bin games keep their flat rate. Anything not on this page is priced in hand, with the reason in writing, and you can take it or get it back.

Functional Issue
A save that won't hold, a sticky button, an intermittent read. Repairable, not free.

Damaged Beyond Description
Priced low on purpose — describing it accurately up front pays better than this tier does.

Inoperable
Carts and hardware only. A dead one is usually a repair job, so it still pays.

Missing Hardware
Cheap to make right — we replace it — so it carries one of the smaller cuts.

Discs That Don’t Play
One question: can it be resurfaced to play?
- Yes → −25%, the Overly Scratched cut.
- No → $0.
Inoperable is for carts and hardware only. A cart or console that doesn’t power on at all pays 25% of what a working loose copy would.

Damaged (creases, tears, water damage) is the one case quoted by a person in hand, since it’s too variable for a formula. The same scale runs every card value page and the trade-in form.
Other shops publish a range, then decide once they’ve got it.

CATRP states: “All offers are based on items that are in 8/10 condition or better.” MyQuickFlips states: “The displayed offer prices are based on items in excellent condition — deductions will apply to those in average, poor, or broken condition.” A range leaves the real number unknown until after inspection. Ours doesn’t.
