Unlike many of our competitors, we strive to deliver the highest quality in pre-owned gaming in South Africa. We don't just buy and sell, we refurbish consoles to the highest possible standards, ensuring unbeatable quality.

Instead of replacing covers with slight marks or scratches that would increase the price of our consoles, we choose to grade them according to their condition instead. Of course, if you're looking for a refurbished console that as good as new, we offer that too. Here's a quick guide on our grades:
​
A+: This represents the highest quality, no scratches or marks, includes original packaging, and an extended warranty.
A: This represents near-mint condition without the original packing and a slightly shorter warranty period with lower prices.
B: These gaming consoles tend to have a few light marks or scratches, don't have original packing, and slightly shorter warranties.
C: These are the cheapest consoles with a few marks, but they work perfectly. No original packging and shorter warranties.
​
Our goal with the grading systems is to provide every shopper with options. You can either shop for the highest quality, or take a lower grade and pay less for your next console.

Our warranties depend on the console model and it's grade (condition). Consoles that are older and cost less have shorter warranties, allow us to decrease the price even more. You can also choose to shop for higher grades, which means a much longer warranty period.
​
Our warranties range from 3 months up to 12 months, protecting your purchase from unexpected internal damages. We have a team of expert technicians that can diagnose and repair your console, should something go wrong.
​
Even after your warranty has expired, we still provide our customers with the best repair services that cost less.
