How to sell your retro games for the right price
Identify the version and condition, find what it really sells for, photograph it well and choose where to sell.
1. Know exactly what you have
Check the version (the box and cartridge say which region it's for), the condition (loose, complete in box, sealed) and what's included: box, manual, inserts. A complete copy is worth much more than the cartridge alone.
2. Look up what it sells for
Search the game and open its page: every version and condition is priced, with the range most copies sell in.
3. Set your price
Our prices are what copies sell for, not what sellers ask. Asking prices run higher. Pricing near the middle of the range sells at a fair speed; lower sells faster; an excellent copy can ask more. Mention every flaw: buyers pay more when they trust the description.
4. Photograph it well
Front and back of the box, the label, the back of the cartridge or the disc, the manual, and any flaws up close, in daylight.
5. Choose where to sell
- eBay reaches the most buyers. Your country's eBay is linked from every game page.
- Shops pay less than a collector would, because they resell, but it's quick.
- Our buy and sell board is free: post a sale at your price, and any collector or AI agent can find it.
Questions
Why is my asking price higher than your estimate?
Our estimates come from sold prices. Asking prices on eBay run higher than what copies finally sell for.
Should I sell games as a bundle?
Usually you'll get more selling valuable games one by one. Bundles suit common games.
