How much can I sell a Gameboy Color for?

The Old School Game Vault shows a current cash offer for the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Pocket upfront. We buy each retro handheld in any color.

More details
  • Missing battery doors or screen scratches beyond normal wear lower the offer. Select the applicable adjustments on the console's listing before submitting your order.
  • You can also sell Game Boy accessories in the same order, with a separate cash offer for each item, including the Game Boy Camera, Game Boy Printer, GameShark, GameShark Pro, Game Genie, Mega Memory Card, and Brain Boy.
  • Final payment is subject to condition and testing.

How do I prepare my Game Boy Color for sale?

Before selling your Gameboy Color to The Old School Game Vault, test that it powers on, reads cartridges, has a screen with no dead lines, and that the sound and all buttons work.

More details
  • Put the battery door back on, since a missing door lowers the offer.
  • We recommend removing the AA batteries before you ship to prevent leaks.
  • Old handhelds collect dust, so wipe the outside of the system with a dry or lightly damp cloth.

Game Boy Color Console Selling Questions

Answers to common questions about selling your retro Game Boy Color system and accessories.

▶ What Game Boy and Game Boy Color consoles are you buying?

We buy the Game Boy Color and the Game Boy Pocket handhelds in any color. Include the battery door for full value, or mark it as missing on the console's listing. We don't currently buy the original Game Boy console due to its age.

▶ What should I include when selling a Game Boy Color console?

For full value, include the console and its battery door. If the battery door is missing or the screen has scratches beyond normal wear, mark it on your console's listing before submitting your order.

▶ How do I sell my Gameboy Color?

Select your Game Boy Color or Game Boy Pocket on this page, mark any missing items, and click "Sell It" to add it to your trade-in cart. At checkout, enter your information and choose how you'd like to be paid. We process orders in batches, so expect your order confirmation email within 24 to 48 hours of submitting. Orders over $100 also receive a free shipping label.

▶ What is the best way to ship a Game Boy Color safely?

Wrap the console in bubble wrap and pack it in a sturdy box with cushioning on all sides. Put extra cushioning on the bottom of the box, since packages often get dropped by the carrier. If you're also selling accessories, put them together in a Ziploc bag to keep them together. Fill any empty space so nothing shifts during shipping.

▶ How fast will The Old School Game Vault pay me?

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. If your package arrives on a weekend or holiday, we won't start processing it until the next business day.
