Terms of Service
Sourcing & Authenticity All factory-sealed new releases are sourced directly from official, manufacturer-authorized distributors. For vintage and pre-owned collectibles, every item undergoes rigorous in-house inspection to guarantee 100% authenticity before it hits our shelves.
Pricing & Market Volatility The games and collectibles market fluctuates rapidly. We reserve the right to cancel and fully refund any order resulting from typographical, pricing, or inventory errors on our site.
Purchase & Quantity Limits To protect our inventory from scalping, we reserve the right to limit the quantity of items purchased per person, household, or order.
Direct Orders & Website Purchases: Returns for direct sales must be requested within 30 days of delivery. Items must be returned in their original, unopened, and unaltered condition (factory-sealed games, cards, and collectibles must remain sealed). Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs unless the item arrived damaged or materially different than described.
In-Person Sales (Flea Markets, Pop-ups, & Local Events): All in-person purchases made at live booth events, flea markets, and local meetups are final sale. Please inspect all items thoroughly at the booth before completing your transaction.

What We Collect: We collect only the essential details needed to process your orders: your name, address, email, phone number, and payment information.
How We Use It: We share data only with secure, essential partners required to run our store (like payment processors and shipping carriers).
Strict No-Sale Policy: We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to outside brokers or third parties.
Security: All transactions are processed through secure, encrypted SSL checkouts. We do not store full credit card numbers.
Your Data Rights: You can contact us anytime to update your information or request data deletion.
Quality Guarantee
We are collectors and enthusiasts first. Every item we ship is handled with the care it deserves so it arrives at your door looking and playing great.
Clean & Tested: All retro games, consoles, and collectibles are thoroughly cleaned, tested, and inspected before they hit our shelves.
Disc Resurfacing: Any scratched game or movie discs if necessary, are professionally repaired on our resurfacing equipment to ensure flawless play.
Collector-Grade Packaging: We pack everything with protective materials to prevent damage, crushed corners, or scuffs during transit. When you buy from us, you are getting items that have been treated with genuine care, from our hands to yours.
Shipping Policy
Thank you for supporting our local shop! Here is how we get your items safely to your door.
Processing & Shipping: Processing: Orders are packed and shipped within 1–2 business days.
How We Ship: You will receive a tracking link via email as soon as your label is printed.

Return Policy
At Game Collectors Cabinet, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you need to make a return, please review our guidelines below:
Return Window: Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery.
Product Condition: We accept returns on both new and slightly used products (including items that have been opened or slightly used).
Return Shipping: Return shipping is the customer's responsibility. You will need to cover and arrange your own shipping back to us.
Restocking Fee: A 10% restocking fee will be deducted from your final refund amount.
Refund Processing Time: Once we receive and inspect your returned item, your refund will be processed within 7 days.
Preorder Policy
By preordering, you agree to these terms:
Deposit: A non-refundable $10 deposit is required upfront per item. This is applied directly toward your final balance.
Dates & Schedule: Release dates are set by publishers/manufacturers and are subject to change or delay.
Allocations: Due to high demand and distributor limits, quantities are not guaranteed.
Refunds: Deposits are non-refundable if you change your mind. Refunds are only issued if we receive a short allocation from our distributors and are unable to fulfill your order. We’ll contact you to collect the remaining balance and arrange pickup or shipping once your item arrives!
Event Pricing vs. Online Pricing: Clarify that prices online and at live event booths may occasionally differ due to event fees, booth specials, or cash-in-hand discounts, and that live prices are not guaranteed online retroactively.
On-Site Inspection & "As-Is" Sales: State that items inspected and purchased in person at live venues are sold "As-Is / Final Sale" once you leave the booth (unless explicitly covered by a written warranty), since the customer had the chance to physically inspect condition on the spot.
Held Items / Holds: Establish a strict policy on holding items at live events (e.g., "No holds without full pre-payment; items remain available to all attendees until paid").
Sealed Product Integrity: Once a factory-sealed collectible or TCG booster box/pack is opened, it is completely non-returnable and non-refundable under any circumstances (protects against "pack weighing," box mapping, or buyers opening packs and trying to return non-hits).
Condition & Grading Standards: State clearly how item conditions are classified (e.g., Near Mint, Lightly Played, Complete in Box) and clarify that raw, ungraded cards/games are sold based on listed condition descriptors, not guaranteed third-party grading outcomes (e.g., "guaranteed PSA 10").
Market Fluctuation Clause: For volatile TCG/collectible items, state that prices fluctuate with current market value, and order cancellations based on market swings after purchase will not be honored.
Chargeback & Fraud Protection: Reserve the right to cancel and refund any direct order flagged for high risk, mismatched billing/shipping addresses, or suspected fraudulent activity.
Address Accuracy: The buyer is strictly responsible for providing an accurate, deliverable shipping address. Re-shipping costs due to incorrect addresses provided by the buyer are paid by the customer.
Order Cancellation Requests: Specify time limits for canceling an order before it hits the packing/shipping pipeline (e.g., "Cancellation requests must be received within 2 hours of purchase before fulfillment begins").
Marketplace Orders
Returns & Refund Policy: Marketplace Orders (eBay, Amazon, Mercari, TCGplayer, Vinted): All returns, refunds, and cancellations for items purchased through an external online marketplace strictly abide by that specific platform's official return policies and window timeframes. Please initiate return requests directly through your order history on the platform where the purchase was made.
