Pokémon leads the market and it is not close — clean copies of the mainline games, especially Crystal and Emerald, are the strongest Game Boy offers we write. Boxed and complete-in-box copies are a different level again: a game with its box, manual and inserts pays far more than the same cart loose.
Loose carts vs. boxed — how Game Boy games are priced
- Complete in box: cart, box, manual and inserts — pays the most
- Cart with manual or box only — a step up from loose
- Loose cart with a clean, original label — the everyday buy
- Battery-backed games (Pokémon, Zelda): a save battery that still holds helps
- Faded, torn or markered labels lower the number
- Reproduction carts are identified in testing and priced as what they are
Condition is the whole story on retro carts: label, shell, contacts and — on the save games — the battery. We test every game in a console at the counter before we price it, so a dead save battery shows up in the offer honestly instead of becoming an argument later.
Authenticated in store — no receipt needed
Every game is tested in store with professional testing equipment — played in a real console at the counter, labels and boards checked, in front of you. No receipt? No problem. Nobody kept a receipt from 1998, and we do not ask for one. Boxes and manuals do support a stronger offer, so bring whatever survived.
The more you bring in, the more you get. One Pokémon cart is a sale; a full binder of Game Boy games is a collection, and collections price better as one lot than cart by cart. The more you bring in, the more you get — bring the console and the carrying case too.
Conditions we buy
- Complete in box with manual — pays the most
- Loose carts with clean original labels
- Carts with honest label wear
- Consoles — Game Boy, Color, Advance and SP — working
- Games with an issue — dead battery, rough label — priced as-is

Sell it, or borrow against it and keep it?
A real Pokémon collection is genuine collateral to the right buyer — and we are the right buyer. Sell it for cash today, or take a pawn loan at 3% per month* for up to 4 months, renewable, and your games are stored securely until you redeem them.
Private VIP room: for loans and purchases over $2,000, ask about our private VIP room when you book — high-value pieces are handled there, not across a busy counter.
Why bring your Game Boy games here?
Mail-in buyers quote one number online, then grade your piece down in a warehouse you have never seen — and hold your item hostage while you argue.
Marketplaces and consignment mean weeks of messages, flakes, fees and scam risk on a piece worth serious money.
At LBC Pawn your Game Boy games is authenticated and priced at the counter in front of you, the offer is the offer, and you leave with cash the same visit — or a loan ticket and your ownership intact.
Skip the drive-first guesswork. Text photos of the item to 857-867-6468 and get a ballpark before you come. Prefer to talk? Call the same number during shop hours.
What a loan costs — in plain numbers
| If you borrow | After month 1 | After month 2 | After month 3 | After month 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $111 | $114 | $117 | $120 |
That first month includes the one-time 8% charge; after that it is a flat 3% per month. No hidden fees, no surprises — the full cost is printed on your ticket.
*Pawn loans: 3% per month interest plus a one-time 8% charge in the first month only. Example: a $100 loan costs $111 after month 1, $114 after month 2, $117 after month 3 and $120 after month 4. Loans run up to 4 months and may be renewed by paying the interest due. Borrowers must be 18 or older with valid photo ID. Items not redeemed by the end of the loan term may be sold as allowed by Massachusetts law.
More we buy
Every piece is authenticated and priced item by item, in front of you — and the more you bring in, the more you get.
Questions we hear
- I found a box of my kids' Game Boy games. Are they worth anything?
- Very possibly — Pokémon, Zelda and Mario titles hold real value, and even common carts add up in a lot. Bring the whole box in; we test and price every cart in front of you, free, with no obligation to sell.
- Does a boxed game really pay more than a loose one?
- Yes, substantially. A complete-in-box copy — box, manual, inserts — is what collectors chase. The same game loose is an everyday buy; boxed, it can be a headline piece.
- The save battery in my Pokémon game died. Is it worthless?
- No. A dead save battery lowers the offer because it needs replacing, but genuine Pokémon carts are bought either way. We test it, tell you what we found, and price it honestly.
- Can I pawn my game collection instead of selling?
- Yes — borrow against it at 3% per month* (plus the one-time 8% first-month charge) for up to 4 months, renewable, and your games are stored securely until you redeem them.
