Game Boy Color Selling Questions

Answers to common questions about selling your Game Boy Color games.

▶ Do I need the box and manual to trade in my Game Boy Color games?

No. All Game Boy Color game prices in our catalog are for the cartridge only. Original boxes and manuals are not required, but they are always welcome.

▶ What if I haven't tested these games in years?

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.

▶ What happens if my Game Boy Color 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 affects a game's trade-in value?

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.

▶ What is the best way to ship Game Boy Color games safely after selling?

Pack your Game Boy Color 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.

▶ How do I get paid for my Game Boy Color 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.

▶ Can I buy Game Boy Color games from you?

Yes. You can buy retro games, consoles, and accessories in our online store.
