Sell your vintage electronic & handheld games

Before the Game Boy, there was the beeping, blinking golden age of the electronic game: Nintendo's Game & Watch, Grandstand's tabletops glowing in a dark bedroom, the Tomytronic 3D pressed to your face on car journeys. I buy them all, working or not. Send a few photos for a free, no-obligation cash offer. Most people hear back within a day.

What I'm looking for

  • Nintendo Game & Watch, any model, boxed or loose
  • Grandstand tabletops: Astro Wars, Scramble, Munchman and the rest
  • Tomy games, including the Tomytronic 3D visors
  • Tiger handhelds and other LCD games
  • Early LED and VFD games of all makes
  • Boxed examples, instructions and packaging
  • Non-working units: wanted, not politely tolerated
  • …and whatever else turns up: spares, non-workers, odd finds and job lots all welcome. Incomplete is fine.

How much are old electronic games worth?

Game & Watch is the strongest name here: Nintendo's little LCD games are collected worldwide, and boxed examples in good condition can be worth surprising amounts. But the British nostalgia names (Grandstand's Astro Wars and Munchman, the Tomytronic 3D) have strong followings of their own, precisely because so many were binned the moment the batteries leaked.

Which brings up the honest bit: condition on these is mostly about batteries and screens. Corroded contacts, tired displays and missing battery covers are all normal and all survivable. Working examples earn more, but non-workers are wanted for parts and restoration, so don't bin anything before I've seen it. Price guides aside, what matters is what you're actually offered. Send a few photos and I'll tell you what I'd pay, no obligation.

Electronic games questions

Mine doesn't switch on, or the battery compartment is corroded. Still worth selling?

Yes. Leaky batteries are the curse of old electronic games and I see corrosion constantly. It's often fixable, and even dead units are wanted for parts and cases. Photograph it as it is, corrosion and all, and be honest in the description.

The screen has scratches and the case is worn. Does that kill the value?

No. Playwear is expected on games that lived in school bags and back pockets. Boxed, near-mint examples fetch the strong money, but ordinary played-with condition is still absolutely sellable.
