3DS Selling Questions

Answers to common questions about selling your Nintendo 3DS games.

▶ What condition do 3DS games need to be in?

Nintendo 3DS games with their original cartridge, case, artwork, and manual receive the full quoted price, subject to condition and authenticity checks. A missing manual results in a 40% deduction, while loose cartridges are purchased at half the quoted price.

▶ Do you buy Nintendo 3DS consoles?

Yes. See what we pay on our Nintendo 3DS consoles page.

▶ What happens if my 3DS games are 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.

▶ What is the best way to ship 3DS games safely after selling?

Keep each game in its case, wrap your games in bubble wrap, and pack them tightly in a sturdy box. Put cushioning on the bottom of the box, since packages often get dropped by the carrier, and fill any empty space with padding so nothing shifts during shipping. For loose cartridges, place them inside a Ziploc bag before packing.

▶ How do I get paid for my 3DS games?

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.
