Condition Grading Policy

At Game Gods, we aim to be as transparent as possible when it comes to product condition and usability

all of our products are graded by collectors via the following rating system. When looking at one of our products, you will see this system applied to all relevant facets of that particular product.

for example; a boxed Nintendo 64 Game will have its box, manual and cartridge graded separately on a scale of 1-10.

10/10 - Mint Condition

9/10 - Excellent Condition

8/10 - Great Condition

7/10 - Very Good Condition

6/10 - Good Condition

5/10 - Acceptable Condition

4/10 - Poor Condition

3/10 - Bad Condition

2/10 - Terrible Condition

1/10 - Non-working Condition - Optimal for parts

In addition to this system, we also upload a lot of photos so you can see for yourself. These photos are not stock photos, they are photos of the actual product you are purchasing.

Note: Some items may be rated with a ".5" as well where necessary.

Note: Some products will have their own unique descriptions. These include but are not limited to rarer items and sealed items.

Note: Products which did not originally contain a certain component will not display it in the grading system, most commonly the manual. If a product did originally contain a component but is not there for that particular listing, the section for that component will display "Not Included" instead of exempting it completely. If a game is listed as a loose cartridge or disc however, that item will only be graded as the loose item.

You will very rarely see Non-working Condition products on Game Gods as we take game preservation very seriously and aim to repair as many games and systems as we can.

This is subject to change at any time and is current as of 3/08/2025.
