Sell Your Game Boy in Surrey

Used Game Boys in Surrey typically sell for C$75 to C$375 (about $54 to $270). Handheld collecting has grown sharply, and screen condition plus shell colour do most of the work in setting the price.

Selling a Game Boy in Surrey

Surrey is among the fastest-growing cities in the country, with a young population, large family households and a great deal of new housing. Practical household goods and children’s equipment dominate what changes hands.

New arrivals furnishing homes and growing families upgrading keep a steady flow of household goods and baby equipment on the market. The mild, wet climate means storage conditions are always worth asking about.

Spread out and built for driving, with easy parking almost everywhere, which makes furniture and appliance collection simple. Distances within the city are longer than they appear on a map.

Surrey, in British Columbia, has around 570,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Handing it over in Surrey

Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

What Game Boys are worth

What lifts the price

  • A clean, unscratched original screen
  • Boxed examples with inserts and manuals

What pulls it down

  • Screen scratches and dead lines in the display
  • Battery acid corrosion on the terminals

Working out what yours is worth

  • Power it on and check the display for dead lines
  • Open the battery compartment and inspect the terminals

Getting it ready

  • Power it on with fresh batteries and check the screen for missing lines, which is the classic Game Boy fault.
  • Identify the exact model: original DMG, Pocket, Color, Advance or SP, and note the shell colour.

Photograph

  • The screen straight on, revealing any missing lines or scratches
  • The back, showing the shell condition and any label

Put in the description

  • Screen condition, including any missing lines, scratches or discolouration
  • Whether it has been modified, backlit or recapped, and what is included

Exact model and colour: “Game Boy Color, Atomic Purple, Working”. Collectors search by model and shell colour, and some colourways are worth multiples of others. Say plainly whether the screen has missing lines and whether the battery terminals are clean.

Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
