The action and RPG shelves lead — Streets of Rage, Gunstar Heroes, the Phantasy Stars and the genuine rarities carry the strongest Genesis offers. Genesis has one advantage over the Nintendo systems: those hard clamshell cases survived, so complete copies are more common — and they still pay clearly more than loose carts.
Loose carts vs. clamshell copies — how Genesis games are priced
- Complete in clamshell: cart, case, manual, hangtab intact — pays the most
- Cart in case without manual — a step up from loose
- Loose cart with a clean, unfaded label
- Not-for-resale and variant carts identified and priced as variants
- Cracked cases, torn labels and marker lower the number
- Every cart is played in a console in testing — no exceptions
Title first, then completeness, then condition — the same order as every retro system, with Sega's clamshell cases making the middle step easier to hit. Each cart goes into a Genesis at the counter and gets played before we price it.
Authenticated in store — no receipt needed
Every game is tested in store with professional testing equipment — played in a real Genesis at the counter, labels and boards checked, in front of you. No receipt? No problem. We do not ask for receipts on 1990s cartridges. Cases and manuals do support a stronger offer, so bring whatever you kept.
The more you bring in, the more you get. A Model 1, a stack of clamshells and a pair of six-button pads is a collection, and collections price better whole than split. The more you bring in, the more you get.
Conditions we buy
- Complete clamshell copies with manual — pays the most
- Loose carts with clean labels
- Carts and cases with honest wear
- Consoles, Sega CD and 32X hardware in working order
- Games with an issue — tested and priced as-is

Why bring your Genesis 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 Sega Genesis 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.

Questions we hear
- Are Genesis games worth as much as Nintendo games?
- Title by title, the best Genesis games — Streets of Rage 3, Gunstar Heroes, the RPGs, the rarities — hold real collector value, and complete clamshell copies pay best. Bring the lot in; testing and pricing is free.
- Do you buy Sega CD and 32X too?
- Yes — games and hardware for both add-ons, plus the CDX and the Nomad handheld. Working add-on hardware is genuinely scarce and prices accordingly.
- Why do complete Genesis games pay more if the cases are common?
- Because 'common' is relative — most copies lost their manuals and hangtabs decades ago. A truly complete clamshell copy is still the version collectors reach for first.
- Can I pawn my Genesis 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.
