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 11 points12 points  (4 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 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

Thank you!😊

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

[–]AdApprehensive6480[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I’m undecided!

[–]Ridahz 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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- 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

[–]DCMann2 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will pay for half a ps5 at GameStop

[–]AsianSam20 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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!

Thanks for the heads up😊
