Inventory changes regularly as new games, consoles, accessories, and vinyl records are bought, listed, sold, cleaned, tested, or reorganized.
Because inventory moves often, especially on stronger titles and collectible items, it is a good idea to order when you see something available rather than waiting too long.
Yes. Orders are fulfilled by delivery and shipping only. Most customer orders arrive within 1 to 3 weeks, depending on destination, order size, carrier timing, and seasonal volume.
Most shipments go to customers in Canada, with the USA as the second most common destination and international orders third. Orders are packed carefully to help games, consoles, accessories, and vinyl records arrive safely.
No. Customer orders are fulfilled by delivery and shipping only.
Local pickup is not available for buying customers because business license and insurance requirements do not allow it. In most cases, delivery is also more practical because the time and fuel cost of arranging pickup can exceed the cost of simply shipping the order properly.
Yes. Credit card details are handled securely through Stripe and are not processed or stored by Games Checkout directly.
That means your card information goes through Stripe's secure payment system rather than being seen, stored, or manually handled by me.
Website checkout payments are processed securely through Stripe. If a direct arrangement is ever discussed separately, payment details will be confirmed directly at that time.

Yes, if more than one copy is currently in stock, you may be able to add multiple quantities to your cart.
Some items are one-of-a-kind, especially used games, collector pieces, and certain vinyl records, so availability depends entirely on current stock.
The website reflects current availability based on listed stock. If an item is available to purchase, it should still be in stock at that time.
Because inventory can change quickly, especially on more desirable games, consoles, and records, availability is always best confirmed by what is currently shown on the site.
Condition descriptions are based on the actual item being sold and may include notes about wear, completeness, testing status, label quality, case condition, disc surface condition, inserts, sleeves, and other relevant details.
Items are also cleaned before being sold, damaged game discs are refurbished when possible, and some minor console repair work is done when appropriate.
If you need more information before buying, please get in touch through the Contact Us page.
It helps to include the exact item name and your question so a more accurate reply can be given, whether you are asking about condition, completeness, compatibility, shipping, or anything else.
Yes. Games Checkout buys video games, consoles, accessories, vinyl records, and full collections. Over 300 collections have already been purchased, and more are always being reviewed.
Buying is focused primarily on Vancouver Island, but collections from elsewhere in Canada are also welcome.
The best way to start is by sending a message with a short item list and clear photos. For large collections, grouped shelf photos or platform-by-platform photos are a great starting point.
It also helps to include condition notes, whether the items are tested, whether anything is missing, and your general location. You can read more on the Sell To Us page.
Accepted collection purchases are paid in cash, not in-store credit.
Many sellers simply want to turn unused games, consoles, or records into cash, and the goal is to recycle those items back into the hands of people who will actually use and enjoy them.
Offers depend on the titles, platform, condition, completeness, testing status, demand, storage needs, and overall resale potential of the items.
Lower offers are more common on bulky items, sports games, damaged items, or low-demand inventory. Higher offers are more common on modern titles, first-party Nintendo games, horror titles, consoles, and other high-demand or high-value items.
