9 Best Places to Sell Used Video Games of 2026

eBay ranks first because it is where an old game can reach its full market price. Its selling fees page lists up to 250 zero insertion fee listings a month, then $0.35 per listing, so most people clearing out a shelf of games pay nothing to list. When an item sells, eBay charges a final value fee of 13.6% on the total amount of the sale up to $7,500 in most categories, plus $0.30 on orders of $10.00 or less or $0.40 on larger orders. That total includes shipping the buyer pays. eBay says it does not add third-party payment processing fees on top. The downside is work and cost: you photograph, describe, pack and ship each game, and the cut is the largest here. For a $60 boxed cartridge that trade-in stores would buy for a fraction, that trade-off usually pays. We compared documented features and published fees only.

DKOldies is the strongest option on this list for retro games you want gone without listing them yourself. Its sell page publishes a price list by system, updated 11/09/2026 when we checked, with figures such as $60 for an N64 console with cords and $38 for Mario Kart 64. You tick the items you have, add anything missing, and DKOldies says it replies within 1 business day. Shipping is free for quotes over $20, and you choose PayPal, a physical check or store credit, which carries a 20% bonus. The limits are stated on the page: cash values are for cartridges only unless noted, items are expected to be in sellable condition, and the store wants North American versions. As with any store that resells, its prices sit below what a private buyer would pay. We compared documented features and published terms only.

Mercari is the simplest fee structure for selling games yourself. Its help center says that, effective January 6, 2025, a 10% selling fee applies to the item price and buyer-paid shipping for new and updated listings, and no separate payment processing fee is charged. Buyers pay their own 3.6% Buyer Protection fee, which does not come out of your payout. Cashing out to a bank by direct deposit is free once a day and typically takes up to 5 business days; a failed deposit costs $2, and Instant Pay is available when you need money sooner. Compared with eBay, you keep more of each sale, but the audience for rare or boxed collectibles is smaller, so valuable items may sit longer. Like eBay, you photograph, list and ship each game yourself. We compared documented features and published fees only.

Facebook Marketplace is the cheapest way to sell a console or a big bundle locally. Facebook's fee page says local pickup sales are free, while Meta's seller policy charges individual sellers 10% per transaction with a minimum of $0.80 on sales made through Marketplace checkout. That fee is calculated on the entire transaction, including shipping and applicable taxes, which makes shipped orders cost more than the headline rate. Seller Protection is available only in the US and covers items with a sale price of $500 or less, which is also the maximum list price for shipped items. For a PS4 with controllers and a stack of discs, a local sale avoids both the fee and a heavy shipping box. For rare games worth more than $500, or buyers outside your area, eBay is the better fit. We compared documented features and published fees only.

Lukie Games is a solid second option to DKOldies for retro and older console games. Its trade-in page says it will always buy working, good condition used games and systems, and it pays shipping when the total value of a trade-in is over $20 in the US. You choose cash or store credit, and store credit trades get a 20% bonus. There is no public price list: you email a list of games with their platform, say whether cases and manuals are included, or simply send clear photos, and Lukie replies with an offer. For rare or expensive items it asks for detailed photos and descriptions so condition can be priced in. The catalog covers Atari, Sega, Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox systems up to Switch and Xbox One. We compared documented features and published terms only.

GameStop is the fastest way to turn current games and consoles into money if you live near a store. Its trade page invites you to trade in games, controllers, systems, amiibo and mobile devices for cash or trade credit, and you can look up values online by category, including retro gaming, before you go. GameStop Pro, listed from $29.99 a year, adds 10% extra cash or credit on trades, along with discounts on purchases. The trade-off is price: a store that resells has to buy below market, so a private sale on eBay, Mercari or Facebook Marketplace usually pays more for the same disc. GameStop makes sense for common titles worth a few dollars each, for consoles you want gone today, or when you plan to spend the credit on a new game anyway.

Decluttr suits the person with a pile of disc games who wants a fixed price without listing anything. Its help center says you type in or scan the barcode in the free app and get an instant price if Decluttr is buying the item. After you complete the order, you receive a UPS label in your Welcome Pack; UPS limits each box to 20 lb, and you can print extra labels for more boxes. Once items arrive and pass quality assessment, Decluttr issues payment the next business day, by direct deposit within 3 business days or PayPal within 24 hours. You have six months to send media items. It does not accept damaged or incomplete items, so loose discs without cases may be refused. Offers for common games are low, but the time saved on a large batch is real. Its website blocked our price check, so pricing is pending.

PayMore is a useful in-person option when a GameStop offer seems low or the item is old. Its video game page says local stores buy current-generation games and consoles, retro classics from the 80s and 90s, rare limited editions and even damaged or incomplete systems. Staff test systems, check discs for scratches and look at cartridge labels and authenticity before making a cash offer based on current market rates, with more if you take store credit. Consoles are wiped of personal data and cloud accounts at no charge. The accepted list runs from Atari, ColecoVision and Neo Geo to PS5 and Xbox Series X. The limits: PayMore publishes no price list, so you only know the offer at the counter, and it only helps if a store is nearby. We compared documented features only; no USD price was published to verify.

Best Buy Trade-In is narrow but handy when you are upgrading hardware. Its trade-in page lists gaming consoles at up to $375 and gaming accessories at up to $20, paid as a Best Buy eGift Card, and lets you look up what a device is worth before you trade. Video games themselves are not among the categories shown, so this is a place for the console and controllers, not the disc collection. The eGift Card payout only makes sense if you were going to spend that money at Best Buy, for example on a new console. For anything with no trade value, Best Buy also recycles tech of any age or brand. For cash, sell the console on Facebook Marketplace or eBay instead, and sell the games through DKOldies, Lukie Games or Decluttr. We compared documented features and published values only.
