The Best Place to Buy and Sell Sega Pico Consoles
The Sega Pico (also called the Kids Computer Pico) is one of the more unusual and collectible pieces of Sega hardware. Released in 1993 in Japan and 1994 in North America, the Pico was marketed as an "edutainment" system for children ages 2 through 8, with the slogan "The computer that thinks it's a toy." Despite its toy-like appearance, the Pico runs on modified Sega Genesis hardware, featuring the same Motorola 68000 processor. Its laptop-shaped design includes a built-in drawing pad and a stylus called the Magic Pen, and its game cartridges, known as Storyware, take the form of interactive picture books. Licensed titles featuring characters from Disney, Sesame Street, and Sega's own Sonic the Hedgehog made it a hit with young kids, particularly in Japan where it remained in production until 2005. Sega reported total worldwide sales of 3.4 million Pico consoles and over 11 million Storyware cartridges. Because the North American run was limited and the system was discontinued in 1998, finding a complete Pico in good shape today is no easy task, which is why collectors are willing to pay for them. If yours has been sitting in a closet since the '90s, bring it to PayMore and find out what it is worth.
- Sega Pico console (all model variants)
- Magic Pen stylus
- Storyware cartridges (all titles, including Disney, Sesame Street, and Sonic)
- A/V cables and power adapter
- Original packaging and instructions
- Other Sega consoles and retro gaming hardware
Pricing depends on the console's condition, included accessories (Magic Pen, cables, power supply), and which Storyware titles you have. Complete-in-box units are especially valuable since most Picos were used by small children and saw heavy wear. Our pricing reflects current collector market values and is updated regularly.

Expert Evaluation You Can Trust
When you sell your Sega Pico to PayMore, our team evaluates everything carefully. We test the console, check the drawing pad and pen functionality, and assess the condition of each Storyware cartridge and its accompanying picture book. You will receive a transparent, fair offer based on real demand.
Get The Most For Your Trade-In
For the best price on your Sega Pico, bring in the full package. A complete Pico setup includes the console, the Magic Pen, A/V cable, and power adapter. Original packaging adds significant value since boxed units are hard to come by. For Storyware cartridges, complete copies with the picture book intact and in good shape are worth more than cartridge-only copies. If the storybook pages are ripped, stained, or drawn on, the cart is still worth something, but clean copies stand out.

We accept Storyware in all conditions. Naturally, cartridges with their picture books in good, clean condition are worth more than heavily worn or damaged copies. But even rough copies have value for collectors who just need the title.
Absolutely. We buy all Sega hardware, including the Genesis, Sega CD, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, Master System, and Game Gear, plus all games and accessories. Bring in whatever you have.
