Behind the Counter

Cue intro music. Rebel Replayโ€™s โ€œBehind the Counterโ€ is all about the staff because we want you to know who your fellow Rebels are! So who are these two who started it all and will hopefully never see it come crashing down like so many dynamic duos who succumbed to the trappings of success?


Meet Player One and Player Two

Ryan Cairney

CEO

Ryan is technically the CEO of the Replay, but he hates that title and titles in general. Anti-corporate and definitely anti-dress code, Ryan is the quintessential gemini, existing in flux. Equal parts emotional and passionate, Ryan calls himself a โ€œ90s era pop-punk who can pass.โ€ Often adorned in ill-fitting clothes and Chuck Taylors, Ryan loves all things Rebel Replay; music, movies, and of course, games. 

Ryan wants everyone to have a good time and his vision for Rebel Replay is a third space where everyone feels like they belong.

Ryan’s Picks

Molly Cairney

CFO

Molly is our CFO and chief figuring-it-out person. Quiet, with a subtle cool, Molly is the weird art kid who turned out okay. Appreciative of all things Indie, Alternative, Americana, Punk, and Folk, Molly is also an avid gamerโ€ฆas long as that game is a Zelda game. A completionist at heart, she loves a challenge. She collects bricks. Yep, bricks. Molly often entangles Ryan in her elaborate schemes to add to her ever-growing collection. 

Molly sees the world through glitter-colored glasses, always finding a little slice of delightful in everything.

Returns

Hey, we get it. Sometimes stuff doesnโ€™t hit the way you thought it would. Maybe that CD skips. Maybe the cartridge just flashes gray. Maybe you changed your mind. No shame in that. Hereโ€™s how to send it back without selling out:

NEW STUFF (STILL SEALED)

Gotta be UNOPENED and in original packaging. Think shrink-wrapped CD perfection  

Return it within 30 DAYS of delivery 

You pay return shipping (sorry, weโ€™re not made of money)

USED STUFF (PRE-LOVED & RAD)

Return it within 30 DAYS of delivery  

Gotta be in the same shape you got it from the Replay racks

You cover shipping (just like trading tapes by mail)

DEFECTIVE? WE GOT YOU.

Something busted or janky? Tell us within 30 DAYS  

Weโ€™ll pay return shipping on that fried cartridge or warped vinyl

You get a REPLACEMENT or REFUND โ€“ your call

FINAL SALE = NO TAKEBACKS

Some stuff is marked โ€œALL SALES FINAL.โ€ Think imports, grab bags, or promo stuff.

REBEL REPLAY: Because physical media never ghosted you.  

Condition Definitions

Weโ€™re here to take the guess work out of condition descriptions. We make it easy by breaking it all down into six easy-to-understand categories. Not sure how to categorize your stash? Use your best judgement. Weโ€™re not here to argue. And honestly, The Rebels (thatโ€™s you!) are much smarter than they look. 

NEW

Unopened. Cover in glorious shrinkwrap and/or never sullied by your grimy little hands. 

MINT

Near perfection, like a sub five-minute Super mario Bros. speed run. Seriously, this is a special category. We donโ€™t use this often and reserve this for the best of the best.

EXCELLENT

Very few signs of use. Itโ€™s probably not going to get the highest grading, but it looks awesome on a shelf. We call this โ€œcollectorโ€™s conditionโ€ because itโ€™s the standard most serious collectors have.

GOOD

Youโ€™d buy it, but youโ€™d think about it for a second. Maybe some dented corners, maybe a scratch or two. Maybe itโ€™s incomplete. These items have a little love showing. Thatโ€™s ok though, because everything we sell is guaranteed! 

FAIR

Now youโ€™re really thinking about it before buying. Itโ€™ll work, but it wonโ€™t look pretty doing it. Missing labels, janky sleeves, weird stains are all part of the world of fair. Poor: We will rarely sell (or buy) something in poor condition. Discs where playability isnโ€™t certain, vinyl that looks like it was used by a DJ-to-be, NES games that have weird goop in the corner will all be found in the poor bin. Sigh. Why do people treat media like this?

Sell and Trade

Sweet. We send payment within 24 HOURS via:

  • Venmo
  • Cash App
  • Zelle
  • We can even send you a check like itโ€™s 1992 (but who wants to wait for that sweet, sweet cash?)

(You pick. You get paid fast โ€“ unless you choose check because snail mail)

  • No hard feelings.
  • Weโ€™ll ship your stuff BACK TO YOU FOR FREE.
  • Seriously. Weโ€™re not here to rip people off.
  • Video Games (cartridges, discs, complete-in-box, weโ€™ll consider it all)
  • Vinyl Records
  • CDs, Tapes, DVDs, Blu-ray
  • Cool, weird, or rare stuff โ€“ try us (just donโ€™t make it too weird)
  • Scratched-to-hell discs.
  • Bootlegs, repros, burns, or knock-offs (gotta be the official versions).
  • Moldy, cracked, or warped stuff.
  • Stuff that smells like an ashtray in 1987. Also, please donโ€™t send us stuff the cat peed on. Thatโ€™s just nasty. 
  • Hey, weโ€™re totally down for that! 
  • Send us a list of what you want to trade and what you want from us. 
  • Weโ€™ll let you know within 24 hours. 
  • If we agree as gentlemen do, weโ€™ll send you shipping instructions. 
  • Ship us your stuff (soon to be our stuff). 
  • Once the package arrives and we confirm everything is present and in the condition described, weโ€™ll ship your new stuff that same day. What could be easier? 

Because this ainโ€™t a landfill โ€“ itโ€™s a love letter to the analog era.
