A customer reached out because she wanted to sell some of her Pokémon games. Her plan was simple. Sell the games, then use the money to buy a Wii and relive some childhood memories.

When her games arrived, we immediately noticed something was wrong.

They weren't authentic, they were counterfeit copies.

Our buying team had to send Jane an email explaining that we couldn't buy them because counterfeit games are illegal to resell.

She was devastated.

She told us she had bought them from an online auction site. The price seemed too good to pass up and she had no idea they weren't the real thing.

And the saddest part is… Jane's story isn't unusual. We hear stories like this multiple times every week.

Counterfeit games have become so common that many people don't even realize they've been scammed until they try to play the game, trade it in, or compare it to a real copy.

That's why buying from a trusted seller matters.

At DKOldies, every game is inspected for authenticity before it's ever listed for sale. If a game doesn't pass our inspection, we don't sell it. Period.

When you buy from us, you don't have to worry about spotting tiny label differences, checking circuit boards, or wondering if the game you received is genuine.

You can simply enjoy playing it, knowing it's the real thing.

If you've ever unknowingly bought a counterfeit game, you're not alone. Unfortunately, it's becoming more common than most people realize. That's exactly why we're committed to making sure every game we sell is authentic.
