What makes one worth more?

Loose cartridge or disc vs. complete in box: the box and manual can add as much as the game itself, so say which you have. Authentic vs. reproduction: popular titles are widely faked. Check the label print, the board inside, and the screws. Region: a US game sells to US buyers. Japanese and PAL copies are a different market and usually sell for less here.

Old consoles still sell, and a working one with its original parts can be worth more than people expect. Bundles with games and controllers sell for more, so compare like with like. Here is what common consoles sold for recently on their own.

How to find out what yours is worth

Find the model number on the bottom or back (for example NES-001, CGB-001, SCPH-90001).
Decide what you are selling: the console alone, or with controllers, cables and games. Price each the way you will list it.
Power it on and test it with a game. "Tested, works" sells well above "untested".
Check the screen on handhelds for scratches and dead pixels, and look for yellowing and cracks on the shell.

What moves the price

Loose cartridge or disc vs. complete in box: the box and manual can add as much as the game itself, so say which you have.
Authentic vs. reproduction: popular titles are widely faked. Check the label print, the board inside, and the screws.
Region: a US game sells to US buyers. Japanese and PAL copies are a different market and usually sell for less here.
Tested and working, with a clean label, sells above "untested". Old save batteries in some games run dry, and buyers know it.
