How Much Are Video Games Worth?

Payouts depend on platform, title, and how much inventory each buyer already has. Here’s a realistic range based on what buyers currently pay for used games in the US:

The single biggest factor: one buyer may have stacks of a title and offer $0.50. Another may be short on stock and offer $8 for the exact same game. Comparing all buyers at once — which is what Bonavendi does — consistently earns more than going to one site and accepting whatever they offer.

Which Video Games Can You Sell?

Most games with a readable barcode and intact case are accepted by at least one buyer. These categories sell well:

• PS5 and Xbox Series X/S games — current-gen titles in working condition with cases
• Nintendo Switch cartridges — Switch titles hold resale value longer than disc-based games
• PS4 and Xbox One games — high volume; prices are lower but there’s a buyer for almost everything
• Nintendo 3DS and DS cartridges — handheld titles are compact and ship cheaply
• Retro games (PS2, GameCube, N64, SNES, NES) — older titles often surprise with strong offers
• Collector and limited editions — steelbooks and complete-in-box copies pay a premium

Harder to sell: scratched or non-working discs, games with missing cases or manuals where buyers require them, and very common titles with low demand (think bargain-bin sports games from 3–5 years ago).

Sell PS5 Games

PS5 games hold their value better than any previous PlayStation generation — partly because of smaller print runs on physical media. Current major titles from Sony’s first-party lineup regularly see offers in the $10–$30 range from buyback buyers. Even one-year-old titles still pull $5–$15. Enter the barcode to see what yours fetch today.

Sell Xbox Series X/S Games

Xbox Series games are compatible with Xbox One consoles, which gives them a larger addressable buyer pool. That said, Game Pass has pushed some buyers to be more selective. Offers typically run $5–$25 for current titles. Buyers like Decluttr and World of Books take a wide range of Xbox titles — scan yours to compare.

Sell Nintendo Switch Games

Switch cartridges consistently outperform disc-based games in resale. Popular Nintendo first-party titles (Mario, Zelda, Pokémon) often fetch $10–$25 even years after release, because Nintendo rarely discounts digital and physical copies stay in demand. If you have a stack of Switch games to sell, comparing offers across buyers almost always surfaces a meaningful price spread.

How It Works

1. Enter the barcode Scan or type the EAN/UPC from the back of your game case. Bonavendi pulls live offers from multiple buyers instantly.

2. Compare every offer See what Decluttr, World of Books, Sell My Games, and other buyers will pay — side by side. No clicking between tabs or submitting separate quote requests.

3. Sell to whoever pays the most Accept the offer that works for you (or split your collection across buyers if that earns more). Print a free prepaid shipping label and send your games.

4. Get paid Most buyers pay within 1–5 business days of receiving your package, via PayPal or check.

Sell Your Whole Collection at Once

Clearing out a shelf of games? Bonavendi’s multi-item cart lets you enter dozens of titles in one session and automatically routes each game to whichever buyer offers the most. You ship one or more packages and earn more than if you’d sent everything to a single site.

For a mixed lot of 20 common PS4 and Switch games, the difference between taking the first offer and comparing all buyers often works out to $15–$40 extra — sometimes more if a few Switch titles are in the mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

What condition do games need to be in? Most buyers accept games in good working condition with the original case and disc. Cartridge-based games (Switch, DS, retro) are often accepted loose (without case), but check each buyer’s terms. Discs with heavy scratches or games with cracked cases are typically rejected.

Do I need to ship immediately? No. Compare prices first, then decide. Most quotes are valid for at least 30 days. If a buyer’s price drops in the meantime, they’ll notify you before processing your order.

Can I sell retro games and consoles too? Yes — scan the barcode the same way. For items without a barcode (some very old cartridges), check whether buyers accept manual entry. Bonavendi covers a wide range of platforms including retro systems.

What if no one makes an offer on a game? Some very common or very damaged titles get no offers from buyback buyers. In that case, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or local trade-in stores like GameStop or Game X Change are worth considering.
