How the number gets made
Here’s the part we care about.
Before you mail us a box, you can see what the game is worth and exactly what percentage we’re paying.
MyQuickFlips’ whole site is built as a buy list. What we couldn’t find is a percentage formula — so you know they’ll buy it, not what cut of the value you’re actually getting.
| MyQuickFlips | Cart-A-Vision | |
|---|---|---|
| Public buy list | Yes, the whole site | Full buy list, title by title |
| Published formula | None found | 55% cash / 85% credit (85% cash high-value, 100% credit at $30+), same on every value page |
| Quote validity | Locked 30 days, then recalculated | No expiration on the formula |
| Account required? | No | No |

What happens to condition
Loose, CIB, sealed, damaged, missing label — condition is where a quoted price either holds or quietly doesn’t.
CAV
We don’t need you to pretend your game is mint.
Tell us what you’re actually sending.
Mint. Good. Fair. Poor. Doesn’t work.
If it doesn’t match what you told us, we tell you why and give you the revised number.
Take it or send it back. Free.
MyQuickFlips
“The displayed offer prices are based on items in excellent condition — deductions will apply to those in average, poor, or broken condition.”
Not “good.” Not “working.” Excellent.
Fall short and you’re somewhere in a schedule that runs 15% to 100%.
| If your item has… | Cart-A-Vision | MyQuickFlips |
|---|---|---|
| Doesn't work at all | No published cut | 50%–100% |
| Heavy wear / cosmetic damage | No published cut | 50%–100% |
| Excessive dirt or cleaning | No published cut | 15%–100% |
| Yellowing / discoloration | No published cut | 20%–100% |
Credit where it’s due
MyQuickFlips won’t ding you for:
- • A case that's broken or chipped
- • Missing charger or stylus on a handheld
Two items. The shortest list of the shops we’ve checked that publish one at all.
If they say no
This is the one that matters most.
MyQuickFlips’ 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.
CAV
We say no, it ships back.
Free. No restocking fee, no obligation, no fine print about a batch window closing on you.
MyQuickFlips
They say no, they keep it.
That’s their own stated policy, not our characterization of it.
What we actually checked
Every MyQuickFlips quote in our comparison came from a retro title.
That’s what we tested.
We’re not going to tell you they don’t buy something we didn’t test.

Common questions
Cart-A-Vision vs MyQuickFlips
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), or 85% (100% on games $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 floor and no percentage schedule: 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+).
