Nintendo Selling Questions
Answers to common questions about selling your Nintendo games and consoles.
▶ How do I get the highest price when selling Nintendo games?
Make sure your games are clean, working, and free of damage, and include everything listed for each item. Check our quality requirements before shipping to understand what can lead to deductions.
▶ Do Nintendo game cartridges need to include the original box and manual?
No, our prices for cartridge games are just for the cartridge itself. This does not apply to Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Switch games.
▶ Do you buy disc games without the case?
No. GameCube, Wii, and Wii U games need their original case and artwork. We don't buy loose discs.
▶ Do you buy Nintendo Imports?
No, we only buy NTSC US games.
▶ Are stickers on the cartridge okay?
Yes. Stickers are okay as long as they do not cover or damage the original game label. If a sticker blocks, damages, or makes the label hard to read, we may have to reject the cartridge. If you are not sure, you can email us a photo and we will review it before you submit it.
▶ Which Old Nintendo Games are Worth Money?
Rare games and popular series usually bring the most money. For NES, that includes Little Samson. For Super Nintendo, it includes Aero Fighters, EarthBound, and Hagane: The Final Conflict. For Nintendo 64, it includes ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut and Super Bowling. For Game Boy Advance, it includes Pokemon Emerald, and for GameCube, Pokemon Box: Ruby and Sapphire, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. See our list of the rarest NES games, or search our catalog for what we currently pay for each title.
▶ Which Nintendo franchises do you buy the most?
We buy the most games from The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Super Smash Bros., Donkey Kong, and Kirby. Search for any title from these series to see what we currently pay.
▶ Tips for packaging and shipping used gaming discs safely?
Keep each disc in its case, wrap your games in bubble wrap, and pack them tightly in a sturdy box. Fill any empty space with padding so nothing shifts during shipping.
▶ Can I buy video games from you?
Yes. You can buy retro games, consoles, and accessories in our online store.
▶ Do you buy loose Nintendo Switch games?
Yes. Switch games with their original case and artwork receive the full quoted price, and loose Switch games are purchased at half the quoted price. We don't buy sports games older than three years.
