What I'm looking for

  • Consoles: Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Sega Master System, Mega Drive, N64, PlayStation 1
  • Handhelds: Game Boy and Game Gear, with or without games
  • Boxed games with manuals, any format above
  • Loose cartridges and discs, in any quantity
  • Controllers, light guns, leads and official accessories
  • Job lots and "the drawer of old games", always welcome
  • …and the rest of the drawer: loose games, spare leads and job lots are all welcome

How much are retro games worth?

Old games have one of the widest value ranges of anything I buy. Most loose cartridges are worth modest money individually (which is why job lots make sense for everyone) but certain titles, and almost anything boxed with its manual, can climb steeply. Complete-in-box games from the SNES and Mega Drive era, boxed consoles, and anything still sealed are the headline finds.

Condition means something slightly different here: cartridge labels, box corners, whether the manual survived, and whether the console still has its official power supply and leads. I'm mainly looking for working consoles and handhelds. Ranges are wide, so the only number worth acting on is a firm offer. Send a few photos and I'll tell you exactly what I'd pay, with no obligation.

Retro games questions

Nothing has boxes or manuals, just a drawer of loose cartridges. Worth selling?

Very much so. Loose cartridges are how most games survived, and a drawer-load is exactly the kind of job lot I like. Boxes and manuals add value where they exist, but they're a bonus, not a requirement.

How new is too new?

My cut-off is roughly the PlayStation 1 and N64 era: the machines of the 90s and earlier. Anything much newer isn't really vintage yet, but if you're not sure, send a photo and I'll tell you straight.
