The NOSTOS Trade Desk: For People Who Sell to Us Regularly
For pickers, estate-sale companies, and cleanout crews who come across video games often: set up a standing relationship with NOSTOS for fast, repeat buyouts.
Quick Answer
The NOSTOS Trade Desk is for people who run into video games often, pickers, estate-sale companies, cleanout crews, and route resellers, who want a standing outlet instead of a one-time sale. Bring or send lots as you find them, price a batch at once, and get paid in cash or store credit.
Most people sell a game collection once in their life. A smaller group runs into games constantly: the picker working weekend sales, the estate-sale company clearing a house every few weeks, the cleanout crew that fills a truck twice a day, the route reseller who buys to move. For those people, hunting for a buyer every single time is wasted effort. The NOSTOS Trade Desk exists to remove that step.
Who the Trade Desk Is For
It is built for anyone who supplies inventory on repeat rather than once:
- Pickers and route resellers who buy at sales, thrifts, and auctions to flip
- Estate-sale companies that end up with the electronics nobody at the sale wanted
- Cleanout, junk-removal, and property-clearing crews who keep finding game bins
- Storage-unit buyers who win lots faster than they can offload them
If any of that is you, you are not a one-time seller, and a standing arrangement is worth more to both of us than a fresh negotiation each visit.
How a Standing Relationship Works
The mechanics are simple. Price each batch through the NOSTOS sell tool, which values a whole lot in one pass against the same market data we use at the counter, then bring or ship it. You get one offer, in cash or store credit, and store credit stretches further if you buy inventory back from the floor. Over time, we learn what you tend to bring and you learn what we pay best on, and the whole exchange gets faster every round.
For how our offers are built and why we take the common titles alongside the valuable ones, the why sell to NOSTOS instead of going online guide covers the reasoning.
What We’re Always Buying
We are not cherry-pickers. We buy whole lots, including untested hardware, loose carts, controller bins, and filler titles, because a real store needs volume on the shelves. The we buy everything, hardware and backstock guide is the full standing want list: every console generation, handhelds, accessories, imports, and project hardware our bench can refurbish. Trade Desk suppliers get a heads-up when we are paying premiums on specific titles or platforms, so a quick note before you shop tells you what to prioritize.
Estate-Sale and Cleanout Companies: Route the Games to Us
If your business regularly clears houses and estates, the video games and electronics are usually the part of the load you have no good outlet for. Rather than pricing, listing, or dumping them, route them to us. Send an overview and a few photos and we handle the valuation and the pickup logistics for larger loads, so your crew keeps moving and the recoverable value comes back as cash instead of a disposal cost.

To start, email will@nostos.market with what you come across and how often, and we set up the standing arrangement from there. Price your first batch anytime through the sell tool to see how fast it moves. Free prepaid shipping applies to totals of $50 or more.
