Still Have Questions? Read our FAQs

How do I get the highest value for my Nintendo NES?
  • Include All Components: Bring the console, power adapter, RF switch or AV cables, and controllers.
  • Bring Your Games: NES cartridges add significant value—scarce titles.
  • Include Original Packaging: Boxes and manuals dramatically increase value for collectors.
  • Prepare for a Quick Visit:
  • Test Your NES: If possible, confirm your console powers on before visiting.
  • Gather Everything: Find all controllers, accessories, Zappers, and games you want to sell.
  • Clean the Cartridges: Gently clean any dusty game cartridges.

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 Nintendo NES consoles that don't work?

We buy Nintendo NES consoles in various conditions, including those with the infamous "blinking light" issue or that won't read games. Non-working consoles can still be purchased based on their potential for repair or parts. The 72-pin connector issue is typical and repairable—it doesn't disqualify your NES from a trade-in.

Which NES games are worth the most?

While values fluctuate, generally sought-after titles include The Legend of Zelda (gold cartridge), Super Mario Bros. 3, Mega Man games, the Castlevania series, and rare games such as Stadium Events, Little Samson, and Bubble Bobble Part 2. Complete-in-box games with manuals command premium prices.

Can I sell just the games without the console?

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