Nintendo, Sega, Atari, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, original PlayStation and beyond. Hardware, games, accessories, and complete boxed sets — each assessed for platform, rarity, completeness, and current collector market.
The retro gaming market spans a huge range of values. We know what's rare, what's common, and what drives genuine premiums. Free insured postage. Written valuation per item. Paid in 72 hours.
The retro gaming market is highly specific — value depends on exact model variants, cartridge revisions, regional releases, and completeness. We are familiar with the collecting landscape across these platforms.
NES, SNES, N64, GameBoy (original, Pocket, Color, Advance), Virtual Boy, Game & Watch, DS, early Wii. Boxed and sealed examples carry substantial premiums. Rare cartridges assessed individually — Stadium Events, EarthBound, and other notable titles.
Master System, Mega Drive (all regions), Game Gear, Saturn, Dreamcast. Rare Japanese and PAL releases assessed. Sealed software and complete boxed hardware particularly sought. Sega Neptune prototype and early variants of note.
Atari 2600 (Sunnyvale heavy-six variants), 5200, 7800, Lynx, Jaguar. Original 2600 Sunnyvale variants are the most collected. Games with original manuals and boxes command significant premiums over loose cartridges.
ZX80, ZX81, ZX Spectrum (all models), Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Acorn BBC Micro, Dragon 32. Early Sinclair hardware — particularly the ZX80 — is genuinely rare. Complete setups with peripherals, software, and original packaging are most sought after.
Original PlayStation (SCPH-1000 and early Japanese releases), PS2 launch editions, early Xbox, Sega Saturn. Japanese-exclusive releases and limited editions carry collector premiums. Notable software titles assessed individually.
Original GameBoy, GameBoy Pocket, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance SP, Neo Geo Pocket, Atari Lynx, Sega Game Gear. Special edition consoles and limited colour variants are more sought after than standard models. Boxed examples with manual are preferred.
The games themselves are often worth more than the hardware — and completeness matters enormously in the retro gaming market. A cartridge-only game is worth a fraction of the same game complete-in-box (CIB) with original manual, inserts, and undamaged box. A sealed, unplayed copy multiplies the value further.
Accessories — light guns, memory cards, official controllers, peripherals — add value when original and in good condition. We assess the complete lot and offer accordingly, noting which components contribute most to the offer.

Complete-in-box examples are worth considerably more than loose hardware. We are familiar with the full rarity hierarchy across all major platforms.
Working status matters but non-working consoles are not worthless — many collectors restore hardware as part of the hobby. For rare variants, the object's significance can outweigh working status. We assess and reflect working status accurately in our written offer.
Often more than the hardware. Rare cartridges with original packaging and manual — complete-in-box — are significantly more valuable than cartridge-only. Sealed examples multiply value further. We assess each game title individually for rarity and completeness.
