LBC Pawn Cash 4 Gold 3% Loans* buys video game consoles in Boston — current PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo systems plus the retro consoles — tested at the counter and paid in cash the same visit.

The consoles we buy

• PlayStation 5 — disc and digital editions, including the Pro
• PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro
• Xbox Series X and Series S
• Xbox One X and One S
• Nintendo Switch — OLED, standard and Lite
• Nintendo Switch 2
• Steam Deck and gaming handhelds — ask us
• Retro consoles — NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Genesis, GameCube, Dreamcast
• PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U in working order
• Limited edition and collector consoles

The newest hardware pays the most — PS5 Pro, Series X and Switch 2 lead the board — but clean retro consoles have a genuine collector market, and a working GameCube or Dreamcast with its cables surprises people. Complete beats loose on every generation.

What makes a console pay more

• At least one working controller — two is better
• Power supply and HDMI cable included
• Sign out of your accounts and factory-reset before you come
• Disc drives that read cleanly (disc editions)
• Original box if you kept it
• Games bundled with the console — they add up fast

We power up every console at the counter: it boots, it reads, it connects, it plays. Account locks are the one hard stop — a console still signed into someone's account cannot be resold, so sign out and reset it first and your offer goes up, not down.

Authenticated in store — no receipt needed

Every console is tested in store with professional testing equipment — power, drive, ports, controllers and accounts checked at the counter, in front of you. No receipt? No problem. A receipt is not required to sell or pawn with us. Controllers, cables and boxes do support a stronger offer, so bring whatever you kept.

The more you bring in, the more you get. A console with two controllers, a dock, and ten games is a lot, not a pile — priced together it earns more than the same gear sold one piece at a time. Clearing out the whole entertainment center? Bring all of it.

Conditions we buy

• Current consoles, complete and reset — pays the most
• Last-generation systems in clean working order
• Retro consoles, working, with cables and a controller
• Handhelds with chargers and healthy batteries
• Consoles with an issue — tell us and we will test and price as-is

Bring a valid photo ID. Sellers and borrowers are 18+ with ID; serial numbers are checked and every buy is recorded and reported exactly as Massachusetts law requires.

How it works

1. Text photos first. Photos of your video game consoles, front and back, plus any details, to 857-867-6468 — get a realistic range before you travel.

2. Bring it in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Bring a valid photo ID (18+). We authenticate and price the item at the counter, in front of you.

3. Get paid the same visit. Cash on the spot — or a pawn loan at 3% per month* if you would rather borrow against it and keep it yours.

Sell it, or borrow against it and keep it?

Consoles are excellent collateral: valuable, testable and easy to store. Sell yours for cash on the spot — or take a pawn loan at 3% per month* for up to 4 months, renewable, and your console waits safely until you redeem it. Borrow over a rough stretch, take it home when you're back on your feet.

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 consoles 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 video game consoles 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.

What a loan costs — in plain numbers

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

Do I need to factory-reset my console before selling?

Yes, please — sign out of your PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo account and reset the console. A signed-in console cannot be resold, and a clean reset supports a stronger, faster offer.

Do you buy consoles without controllers or cables?

We do, but completeness pays: a console with a controller, power supply and HDMI cable earns more than the bare unit. Bring whatever pieces you have and we will price what is in front of us.

Do you buy retro consoles like GameCube or Dreamcast?

Yes — working retro consoles with cables and controllers are bought every week, and clean examples with their games price especially well.

Can I pawn my console 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 it is stored securely until you redeem it.
