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.

Most old games are worth less than the asking prices you see online, and a few are worth a lot more. The only numbers that matter are what copies actually sold for. Here is what the most common ones went for recently, and how to work out what yours is worth.

How to find out what yours is worth

Find the exact title and system on the label, and check it is a US copy (Japanese and European copies are a different market).
Decide what you have: cartridge only, or complete with box and manual. Complete copies sell for a lot more.
Test it if you can. "Tested, works" sells above "untested".
Look up recent sold prices, not asking prices, or Guestimate it from a photo.

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.
