Game Boy Selling Questions

Answers to common questions about selling your Game Boy games.

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

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

▶ Do you buy original Game Boy consoles?

No, we don't buy the original Game Boy due to screen issues over the years, including faulty LCD screens, broken pixels, and LCD rot, which have only gotten worse over time. We do buy the Game Boy Pocket. Many Game Boy accessories can be sold on our Game Boy Color console page.

▶ 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 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 games safely after selling?

Pack your Game Boy 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 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 games from you?

Yes. You can buy Game Boy games in our online retro video game store.
