GAMEVENTORY GRADING GUIDE

How Gameventory Grades Your Games

You don’t need to grade your own games when trading with Gameventory. We inspect and grade every item after it arrives.

First, choose what is included

CIB

Original game, case, cover artwork and manual where originally supplied.

Game + Case Only

Original game, case and cover artwork. Manual or inserts may be missing.

Loose Copy

Original disc or cartridge only. No original case or manual.

We assign Grade A, B or C

These grades describe our resale stock and help explain the final trade-in offer. Completeness is recorded separately.
