The Best Place to Buy and Sell Atari Lynx Handhelds
The Atari Lynx holds a special place in gaming history as the first handheld console with a backlit color display when it launched in 1989. Originally developed by Epyx under the code name "Handy," the system was designed by the same team that built the Commodore Amiga. It packed serious power for a portable, with hardware sprite scaling, a 4,096-color palette, and the ability to flip the screen for left-handed play. The ComLynx cable even let you link up to 17 systems for multiplayer. Production ended in 1996, and with far fewer units sold than the Game Boy or Game Gear, the Lynx has become genuinely collectible. If you still have one in a drawer somewhere, it could be worth more than you think.
- Atari Lynx Model 1 (the original 1989 release)
- Atari Lynx II (the smaller 1991 redesign)
- Lynx game cartridges (all titles, all cartridge styles)
- ComLynx multiplayer cables
- AC power adapters
- Carrying cases and pouches
- Sun visors and screen accessories
- Original boxes, manuals, and inserts
Payout depends on the model, screen condition, whether it powers on and plays games, and what comes with it. A working Lynx with a clean screen is worth more than one with dead pixels or a dim backlight, and the original Model 1 tends to carry slightly different value than the Lynx II. Boxed units with documentation bring the strongest offers. Our pricing systems are updated daily.

Expert Evaluation You Can Trust
At PayMore, we understand portable retro hardware. We know the Lynx II added stereo sound and a slimmer body, and we know that screen condition is the single biggest factor in what a Lynx is worth to a collector. Every system gets an informed, careful evaluation based on real market data. No generic trade-in formulas.
Get The Most For Your Trade-In
To get the best possible price, bring in everything you have. The AC adapter is a big plus, since the Lynx eats through batteries and collectors want a reliable way to power the system. Game cartridges are worth bringing along too, especially titles like California Games, Blue Lightning, and Chip's Challenge. If you still have the original box, manuals, or any carrying cases, those add real value. You can also choose store credit instead of cash for an even better deal on other electronics in our store.

Bring it in anyway. Non-working Lynx handhelds are still in demand for parts and modding projects. Screen replacements and power circuit repairs are common in the Lynx community, and collectors regularly buy broken units as restoration starting points. We'll evaluate yours and make you an offer regardless.
Yes. We purchase Atari Lynx cartridges individually, with or without boxes and manuals. The system had just over 70 official releases, so certain titles are harder to find and carry real collector value.
Absolutely. PayMore buys Atari products across the board, from the 2600 and 5200 to the 7800, Jaguar, and Atari 8-bit and ST computers. Bring your whole collection and walk out with cash for all of it.
