Sell Your Nintendo Games in Australia

Used Nintendo games in Australia typically sell for A$19 to A$96 (about $13 to $67). Nintendo titles hold value like nothing else in gaming — first-party games barely depreciate, so check each cartridge before you price the bundle.

Selling Nintendo games in Australia

Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.

WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.

Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.

Working out what yours is worth

Check the cartridge contacts for corrosion
Compare the label and board against genuine examples

Getting it ready

Check cartridges for label damage and confirm each is in its correct case with the artwork insert.
Test each cartridge boots if you still have the console.

Put in the description

Exact titles, and which are first-party Nintendo releases
Cartridge and label condition
Whether cases and artwork inserts are present

Name the titles: “Nintendo Switch Games — Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Kart 8, Animal Crossing”. First-party Nintendo titles are searched by name and hold their price, so listing them individually often totals more than a bundle. Say whether cases and inserts are complete.

Consistently strong. First-party Nintendo titles sell within days at close to their original price, which is unusual in gaming and worth knowing before you discount.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$96 a buyer pays is the A$96 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in Australia

Australia is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of Australia with their own page for Nintendo games.

Common questions

Where can I sell Nintendo games in Australia?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Are the cases and inserts included?

Check each one. Complete-in-box Nintendo games are worth meaningfully more, and collectors specifically want the inserts.

How do I spot a reproduction cartridge?

Label printing quality and the screw type on the back are the usual tells. Compare against known genuine examples.

Does the box matter?

For collectable titles considerably. Complete-in-box copies sell for multiples of loose cartridges.
