PayMore review

PayMore is a useful in-person option when a GameStop offer seems low or the item is old. Its video game page says local stores buy current-generation games and consoles, retro classics from the 80s and 90s, rare limited editions and even damaged or incomplete systems. Staff test systems, check discs for scratches and look at cartridge labels and authenticity before making a cash offer based on current market rates, with more if you take store credit. Consoles are wiped of personal data and cloud accounts at no charge. The accepted list runs from Atari, ColecoVision and Neo Geo to PS5 and Xbox Series X. The limits: PayMore publishes no price list, so you only know the offer at the counter, and it only helps if a store is nearby. We compared documented features only; no USD price was published to verify.
