Every listing in this store refers back to this chart. It explains the grade each item is given, the abbreviations used in listing titles, and the warranty that backs it.

Note: these are always second-hand, so minor defects are expected regardless of how good I can get it. Refer to the warranty below for peace of mind.

Warranty
Valid 14 days after delivery. Return labels provided on request. Does not apply to change of mind.
Return the item to sender and it will be assessed for a replacement or refund. The warranty covers you if:
- the item is clearly the incorrect item;
- it is not representative of the photos, videos or description provided (with proof of such);
- you believe the grading to be incorrect.
Cleaning process
Nothing is listed until it has been through the same process:
- Cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner using water-based, non-harmful solutions, for a maximum of two minutes — short enough not to damage the artwork printed on discs, vinyl and cases.
- Spun until completely dry.
- Discs buffed according to the grade above.
- Cases carefully pulled apart and cleaned, with old stickers and grime removed, to get back as close to the original look as possible.
- Every case individually sleeved for protection.
- Everything bubble wrapped and packed to survive the post.
Games are always sent out working.
