How do I get the highest value for my Game Boy?
  • Include All Components: Bring the handheld, battery cover, and any accessories like the Link Cable or carrying case.
  • Bring Your Games: Game Boy cartridges add significant value—especially rare titles.
  • Include Original Packaging: Boxes and manuals dramatically increase value for collectors.

  • Test Your Game Boy: If possible, insert batteries and confirm your handheld powers on before visiting.
  • Gather Everything: Find all games and accessories you want to sell.
  • Clean the Cartridges: Gently clean any dusty game cartridges and wipe down the screen.


Your preparation will enhance your trade-in value and make your visit swift and pleasant. Contact your local store if you have questions about your trade-in.

Do you buy Game Boys that don't work?

We buy Game Boy systems in various conditions, including those that don't power on or have issues. Non-working handhelds can still be purchased based on their potential for repair or parts. Common issues like faded screens, missing battery covers, or sound problems don't disqualify your Game Boy from a trade-in.

Which Game Boy games are worth the most?

While values fluctuate, generally sought-after titles include Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Tetris, Super Mario Land, Pokémon Gold and Silver, and rare games like Trip World, Spud's Adventure, and Kid Dracula. Complete-in-box games command premium prices.

Can I sell just the games without the console?

Absolutely! We buy Game Boy cartridges individually. Bring your entire collection, and we'll evaluate each game. Many retro games have significant value, especially popular titles and rare finds.

What's the difference between the original Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket?

The original Game Boy (1989) featured a larger design with a green-tinted screen and required four AA batteries. The Game Boy Pocket (1996) was smaller, lighter, had a sharper black-and-white screen, and ran on two AAA batteries. Both systems play the same game cartridges. The original Game Boy is often more valuable to collectors due to its iconic status.
