How we grade a Game Boy cartridge

Full offerA clean grey shell, clean contacts, and the label in good condition. Light wear on the plastic is what thirty years in a drawer look like and costs nothing.
A quarter or half offMarker or writing on the grey shell takes a quarter off. A sticker or writing on the label, a peeling label, moderate yellowing, or heavy cleaning before it boots takes half.
No offerA label that is missing, ripped or faded, a cracked shell, a cartridge that will not play, or a reproduction cartridge.

The Game Boy games people care most about, the Pokemon and Zelda cartridges, save to a battery inside the shell, and after thirty years most of those batteries are dead or dying. Where a listing marks one, that is not a refusal: we solder in a new one and deduct the charge shown on that game, so the save works for the next owner. Every cartridge rule is on the Condition Guidelines page, in full.

Not sure your copy is an original? How to spot a fake Game Boy game

Two original Game Boy cartridges side by side: the back of one with its contacts, and the front label of the other
Left: the contacts we clean. Right: the label we read, which must be in good condition. A faded, ripped or missing label, or a cracked shell, is one we cannot buy.

Selling Game Boy games: questions and answers

Where can I sell Game Boy games?
Right here, online, from anywhere in the lower 48. Price the cartridges on this page, print the free label once the order is $50 or more, and drop the box at USPS or UPS. No store to drive to and no store credit: cash by PayPal, Venmo, eCheck or Mailed Check.
Are Game Boy games worth anything?
The famous ones are worth a lot, and almost everything else is worth something. Pokemon, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby and the Konami titles have climbed for years, loose or boxed, and a complete cardboard box multiplies the value because so few survived. The table above shows the Game Boy games we are paying the most for today.
How much can you sell Game Boy games for?
For what this page shows you before you ship. Search a title and three offers come back, loose, boxed and new, with the date they were shown. The offer you accept at checkout is locked for 14 days while you ship, and it is what you are paid once the cartridge matches the condition you picked.
Do you buy Game Boy games without the box?
Yes. A bare cartridge is Loose and has its own price. The Boxed price needs the original cardboard box in good condition, solid corners and no crushing, tears or water damage; a worn, damaged or reproduction box pays the Loose price instead. The manual is a plus, not a requirement.
What if a Game Boy cartridge will not save or will not start?
Where the listing marks a save battery, a dead one is replaced here and the charge shown on that game is deducted, so it never stops the sale. Dust and light wear cost nothing. Writing on the shell takes a quarter off, and a sticker or writing on the label, a peeling label, moderate yellowing or heavy cleaning before it boots takes half. A cartridge that still will not play is paid at $0 or returned to you at your cost, so test each one before you ship.
What is a Game Boy worth today?
Our base payouts start at $49 for a working unit, with the Play It Loud colors and the Pocket on their own cards. A scratched screen lens, a yellowed screen or light yellowing is a deduction, while heavy yellowing, dead pixels, dead buttons, a bad speaker (crackles, too quiet or no sound), a cracked LCD, missing lines on the display or corroded battery terminals means we cannot buy that unit. No backlight is normal on these; it is not a defect.
Will GameStop give you cash for old Game Boy games?
No. GameStop stopped taking original Game Boy cartridges years ago, and the counters that still buy retro games pay store credit at a walk-in customer's price. We sell online and pay cash after inspection, so our offers are usually higher, and the number is on the screen before you ship. Here is a side-by-side.
Do you buy Japanese import Game Boy games?
No. A Game Boy plays cartridges from any region, but we buy North American releases only, so imports should stay out of the order.
