There are two ways for you to begin adding your games to the quote. The first is to check the back of the box for barcode. The number under it is what you need. Just type the code into the first box, hit search and your game should appear in the quote list below. If you have no casing for your game, just type the name of the game and select format it is on to get a list of relevant titles. Pick the one you own and your done! Pretty good right? But hold on a second! Be sure to edit the condition of each item component before adding more games. You will need to grade the disc/cart, inlay, case and manual. Here’s how to grade your games correctly:
The case on a SNES is basically the box the cart is stored in. If you have no box, then just select missing. The things to look out for on a SNES box are things like
tears, pen, pencil, paint or any other marks, squashed markings (can happen when the box is sat on and is puffed up again), piercing marks, colour fade (can happen when the box is left on a window sill), water logging (the box will appear warped due to the water drying up) and wear and tear (cardboard is showing through the design on the box). You may notice more things on the box than are listed here, but be sure to check the selling help section of the Chillout Games website for grading guidelines.

You may notice more things on the box than are listed here, but be sure to check the selling help section of the Chillout Games website for grading guidelines. Grading the manual is basically the same thing. Be sure to check thoroughly that there are no missing pages, writing (such as cheat codes or notes), torn pages, rusted staples (they leave a brown mark on the pages), badly crumpled or violently folded .
The disc is a little harder to grade, so take a look at it under good lighting. The easiest things to notice is deep scratched. Can you feel them with your finger or nail? Can it be noticed as soon as you look at the disc? If so, it's scruffy. Are there bad scratches on the top of the disc? Is there writing, glue or any other marks on the disc? Again, be sure to check the guidelines online while you’re grading your games. One more thing, don't tell porkies! Every game we receive is checked by a member of staff.

You don't want your games to become damaged in transit do you? Of course not! So here are some tips to help you out!Packing Box – Be sure to use a sturdy, strong and relevantly thick box. If you used an old, word box it could fall apart in the delivery van! A good box ensures your games get to us safely and securely. Tape up the folds with some good quality tape for extra security.
Safety Wrap – We've all been in a car. It's not always a relaxing experience! The same goes for your games. Wrapping them in a good bubble wrap or packing paper will make sure they stay safe on the journey, think of it as a seatbelt for your games!
Packing – Make sure there is no air in the box. Any gap should be filled with packing paper or any other packing material or your choice.
Sealing – Seal any seam or opening you see on your box. It may seem a pointless time waster but trust us from experience; it is as important a tip as is on this list. Nothing gets out, nothing gets in!
