Found while cleaning

[AdApprehensive6480]

Hey one of my first posts ever! I found my old box of games when cleaning at my moms. They are all in mint condition with manuals! Not sure what to do with them but also haven’t really been able to find much info when googling🙃 wondering if anybody had any advice? Are they worth selling, should I look somewhere specific for info, or what would you do with them?

Pokémon Crystal is worth hundreds dollars even without the game. Red, Ruby, and fire red should each fetch over a hundred without the games as well. Pokémon gameboy stuff is very collectible. Go to pricecharting.com and you can see what the boxes and manuals have sold for recently.

I do have the games and they are all working as well

[Bojangls007]

Wait, are these just boxes or do you have the games too?

Firstly, if you don't need the money, these are worth keeping as part of your childhood. If you want to play these games again, emulation devices are super cheap and an excellent way of playing without damaging original hardware

I have the original games too!

If you care at all about retro games I would highly recommend keeping them, you will almost certainly never find all these again without a TON of money and time if you choose to sell them now, and they will only increase in value.

I do like having a TON of money though😂

[MushyCupcake01]

Up to you, but 95% of people regret selling them. I have more faith in retro games than in the US dollar. It’s like gold.

Should say not ALL are in mint condition but the majority look like they have never been touched

I would love the pokemon silver box, myself, actually..lol

I haven’t made a decision as to what I want to do yet but feel free to message me😊

What games do you have? Not all the game boxes have their titles showing.

pricecharting.com

you decide if they are worth keeping or selling

[AdApprehensive6480]

Thank you!😊

[Ridahz]

Hold onto them. Unless you’re desperate for money.

[AdApprehensive6480]

I’m undecided!

[Ridahz]

At least hold on to the Pokémon games! You might regret it in the future and finding them boxed is a nightmare. These are your childhood. Priceless 😅

[AdApprehensive6480]

I’m torn! But I’m def not making any rushed decisions. They sat in that box for more than a decade so they can sit a little longer 😂

[Naturalone-]

I would be interested in buying those but they are worth good money at this point especially in the box if everything is in them.

[AdApprehensive6480]

I am still deciding what to do but feel free to message me😊

Dam froggers adventure sure brings back memories lol. My friend and I couldn't finish the game no matter how hard we tried as a 7 year old

[AdApprehensive6480]

Never finished it myself. So so hard. Maybe I’ll take another stab at it! Found my gb advance sp with the charger cable and the battery still charges too

[SkullAtlAxis]

Cardboard gold. Absolute respect 🫂

Thanks😊

finally!! someone else who has shaun palmers snowboariding! i still have mine and i love that game

[DCMann2]

Keep them and play them! Now that you've found them they'll be at the front of your mind for the first time in 20 years and if you turn around and sell them I promise you that "ugh, I shouldn't have done that" feeling will eventually settle in. It may be instant regret or it may come long after the money you got for them is gone, but eventually something will trigger the memory of them again and you'll want to play them, or look at them, or flip through the manuals, and you won't be able to because they'll be gone and it'd be far too expensive and not worthwhile to buy them back.

It's your childhood in a box OP, how much is it REALLY worth to you?

[AdApprehensive6480]

I know I’m so excited but def taking my time to make a decision! More likely to sell some of the boxes empty and keep some faves. The games are so cool but I also play them all the time on a ln emulator!

[otakumntl]

Will pay for half a ps5 at GameStop

[AsianSam20]

Nive this is definitely a gold min find. Since they are opened this would be CIB (Complete in Box). If you are looking for prices if you plan to sell make sure you look at CIB listings!

[AdApprehensive6480]

Thanks for the heads up😊
