Which Pays More For Used Games?

We priced all 19 games MyQuickFlips quoted, same day, same condition. Across the 16 that count toward the basket, we paid $1,080.51 against their $687.00 — a $393.51 gap. That's the widest lead of any shop we've surveyed. MyQuickFlips beat us on Pokémon FireRed, Sonic The Hedgehog — reported here the same as the losses. Full row-by-row numbers are below.

Their own guidelines state it plainly: Batch offer prices are locked for 30 days from submission, then recalculated. Their guidelines separately state a rejected item is not returned. A rejected item does not come back to you. Ours does — free, every time, no restocking fee.

MyQuickFlips is a real shop with a published deduction schedule — more than some shops we've checked. What we can say plainly: their condition floor is stated as 'excellent condition,' the widest gap in this survey favors us by $393.51, and their own policy says a rejected item isn't returned. Weigh that against a shop that publishes a fixed rate, ships a prepaid insured label, and sends anything it declines back at its own cost.

Cart-A-Vision publishes its formula on every value page: 55% of comp cash for games (85% on high-value titles, 40% on loose discs under $30, 30–40% on Xbox 360 / Xbox One / PS4 games under $15), or 85% (100% on games $30+, 60% on loose discs under $30) in store credit — plus TCG singles, outside MyQuickFlips' matched dataset here entirely. No batch lock, no recalculation window, no keeping what it declines.

Yes. The displayed offer prices are based on items in excellent condition — deductions will apply to those in average, poor, or broken condition. Deductions run 15% to 100% depending on the category (see the table below). CAV has no condition floor, and its condition rates are published as exact numbers, not ranges (cart-a-vision.com/condition-rates): describe the real condition, and the number reflects it.

Batch offer prices are locked for 30 days from submission, then recalculated. Their guidelines separately state a rejected item is not returned.

Our dataset only has MyQuickFlips' cash offers. We found no published store-credit rate to compare against our own published 85%/100% credit tiers.

Every MyQuickFlips quote in our dataset is for a classic/retro-era title — Sega Genesis, N64, PS1, PS2, GameCube, GBA. That's what we tested; we're not claiming they don't buy anything beyond it. Cart-A-Vision's own published scope covers 35 platforms including current-generation consoles, plus TCG singles across Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece at 75% cash (up to 85% on cards comped $200+).
