What a used Nintendo wii is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for Nintendo wiis, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £70 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £59 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £45 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £31 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £17 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a Nintendo wii
- Complete with sensor bar, cables and controllers
- Backwards-compatible early models with GameCube ports
- Boxed consoles with inserts
- Bundled controllers and accessories
What lowers it
- Missing sensor bars and proprietary cables
- Disc drives that fail to read
- Yellowed white plastics
- Console-only listings
How to work out what yours is worth
- Identify whether it is an early model with GameCube ports
- Test the disc drive with a game
- Confirm the sensor bar and all cables are present
Once you have those three answers you can place your own Nintendo wii on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Nintendo Wii worth anything?
Very little as hardware, because so many were sold. Certain games and accessories are worth more than the console itself.
Which Wii models are worth more?
Early models with GameCube controller ports, since they play a wider library and are sought by collectors.
Do I need the sensor bar?
Yes. Without it the controllers cannot point at the screen, and it is proprietary, so a console without one is hard to sell.
