02 — Payout

Cash or credit

Take the cash, or take more. Store credit is worth 25% extra on the same item, every time.

$20 cash
Same item, cash
$20

Digital payout the day we finish your evaluation. No waiting on a check.

25% more
Same item, store credit
$25

Credit lands in your customer account and applies to anything in the shop — games, cards, plush, media, even resurfacing.

That's $5 more on this one item. Credit never expires and it stacks. Sell a few boxes over a few months and spend it all at once.

How selling works

  1. 1

    Send photos

    Item names, condition, quantity. Phone photos are fine — just make sure labels and discs are readable.

  2. 2

    Get an estimate

    We reply with an initial cash and credit number, usually within 24 hours. Nothing is final until we see the items.

  3. 3

    Ship or drop off

    Mail it in with tracking, or bring it by in person. We confirm the moment your box lands.

  4. 4

    Get paid

    Digital cash payout, or store credit at the higher rate. Your call, after you see the final offer.

Start your submission

Takes about two minutes. No account needed to get an estimate.

One item per line: name, condition, quantity.

Jay's Disc Restoration

We restore your discs. We don't just polish them.

Mail-in or local drop-off. Every disc is inspected first, resurfaced at the level it actually needs, then tested before it goes back in the sleeve.

No fix, no resurfacing charge

Selling us discs?

We pay $5 cash per disc, or $4 in store credit — your choice, per batch.

Why sell here

Selling us your collection? We evaluate scratched discs for restoration before we set your trade-in value.

Most shops grade a scratched disc as damaged and price it that way. We check whether it can be restored first — and if it can, that goes into your offer. Same box of games, more money.
