Selling Nintendo games in the US

Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

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.

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 $67 a buyer pays is the $67 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 the US

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

Common questions

Where can I sell Nintendo games in the US?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

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.
