Charleen T
"I bought a PS4 for my grandson in December, and while the delivery took a bit longer due to the holiday season, the overall experience was great. Initially, I was skeptical because the deal seemed too good to be true—a PS4 with two controllers at such an affordable price. However, the service was excellent, and the reconditioned PS4 turned out to be of really good quality."
Shiane Edwards
"I purchased a second-hand PS4 camera for my sons birthday, it arrived within 2 days!! 😁 The condition is excellent! It was packaged as if it was new, you couldnt tell its 2nd hand! I'm really so impressed with your service, and will most definitely recommend you and buy again! 👍 Works PERFECTLY by the way!"
