What Are My Old Video Games Worth?

Found a box of old cartridges? Retro gaming is booming. Some games sell for hundreds, and complete-in-box consoles can be worth even more.

What Drives Value in Retro Games

Complete in box (CIB) is everything. A loose cartridge might be worth $10. The same game with box and manual could be $50-200. A sealed copy could be $500+. Condition of the box matters almost as much as the game itself.

Platform matters. NES, SNES, and N64 games generally command the highest prices. GameBoy and Sega Genesis have solid markets too. PS1/PS2 are rising but most titles are still affordable.

NES (Nintendo Entertainment System)

Stadium Events
$10,000 – $40,000+
The holy grail of NES collecting. Only ~200 copies were sold before being recalled. CIB copies are six figures.
Little Samson
$800 – $3,000
Late NES release with low production numbers. Loose cart $800+, CIB $2,000-3,000.

SNES (Super Nintendo)

EarthBound
$200 – $1,500
Loose cart $200-300. CIB with the oversized box and strategy guide $800-1,500. Cult classic that keeps rising.
Chrono Trigger
$150 – $600
One of the greatest RPGs ever made. Loose $150-200, CIB $400-600.

N64

Conker's Bad Fur Day
$100 – $400
Mature-rated N64 game with low production. Loose $100-140, CIB $300-400.

Consoles

Nintendo NES Console (CIB)
$150 – $500
Complete in original box with all accessories. Action Set and Deluxe Set boxes command different prices. Loose consoles are $50-80.
