Sell retro SNES games online to The Old School Game Vault, a nationwide mail-in retro video game buyer operating since 2008. We display our current cash offer for each game upfront, so you know what we offer before you place your order, with no seller fees or store credit required.
Yes. Popular SNES titles like Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Killer Instinct, Donkey Kong Country, Final Fantasy III, and Super Metroid are still worth money, and higher-value titles like EarthBound can fetch much higher offers.
Every SNES trade-in is checked for authenticity. Counterfeit and reproduction SNES cartridges are common, especially with higher-value games. If you are unsure about your game, read our article on how to spot fake SNES games before submitting your trade-in.
The Old School Game Vault lists a current cash offer for each Super Nintendo game it buys. Listed prices are for the cartridge alone, with the final payment subject to condition and authenticity checks.
Before and after the SNES, Nintendo's home consoles kept coming. Pick one to see what we pay, or browse all Nintendo platforms.
Answers to common questions about selling your SNES games.
No. All SNES game prices in our catalog are for the cartridge only. Original boxes and manuals are not required, but they are always welcome.
That's fine. We clean the cartridge contacts before testing each game to give it the best chance of working. Games that still don't work after cleaning and testing will be rejected.
We'll email you to explain which games were rejected and why. You can choose to have them recycled or returned to you. You're responsible for the shipping cost if you want rejected games returned.
Demand and rarity help determine our listed buying price, while condition affects whether we can pay that offer. Badly torn labels or stickers that make the game's label barely visible can lead to rejection. Storage conditions also matter: we don't purchase games with rusted screws or circuit boards.
Pack your SNES games in a sturdy box with three inches of cushioning on the top, bottom, and all sides. Pay particular attention to the bottom of the box, and fill empty spaces so the cartridges cannot shift during shipping.
You'll receive payment within 3 to 4 business days after your order is received and processed, by PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Cash, check, or Amazon Gift Card. Orders over $100 also receive a free shipping label.
