Sell Your Games or Trade In for Store Credit
Have games or systems you’re ready to part with? eFunStar is always buying working, good-condition video games and consoles. Whether you’re looking for cash or store credit, we make the process simple and rewarding. For trade-ins totaling over $100, we’ll even cover your shipping costs to send them to us (U.S. only).
You can choose to be paid in cash or as store credit to use at eFunStar. If you select store credit, you’ll receive a 25% bonus, giving you even more value toward your next purchase.
To get started, email us at sell@efunstar.com with the games and/or systems you’d like to sell or trade. Once we review your submission, we’ll let you know exactly how much your items are worth.
Please include the following in your email:
• A list of the games and the platform or system they are for
• Whether each game includes its original case and manual, or is game-only
• For systems, what’s included (such as original controllers, memory cards, cables, or other accessories)
• Alternatively, you may send clear photos of everything you want to trade instead of a written list
• For rare or higher-value games or consoles, please include detailed photos and as complete a description of the condition as possible — the more we know, the more accurately (and competitively) we can value your items
Our Guarantee:
If we accept your item, we will pay you more than any comparable competitors for the same item in similar condition.
Trade-In Terms & Conditions
All trade-in offers are subject to inspection and verification upon receipt. Items must be authentic, functional, and accurately described. Final payout amounts may be adjusted if an item’s condition differs materially from what was disclosed.
Shipping coverage for trade-ins over $100 applies to U.S. addresses only and may require approval prior to shipping. Store credit bonuses apply only to accepted trade-ins and have no cash value. eFunStar reserves the right to decline any trade-in at its discretion.
Competitor price comparisons are based on current publicly available trade-in offers for comparable items and conditions at the time of evaluation.
