Sell to us

Got a collection gathering dust? Old consoles boxed up in the loft? Whether it's a single cartridge or an entire childhood's worth of gaming history, we'd love to hear from you.

RetroQuest is a specialist retro gaming store based in Bristol, UK. We buy used video game hardware and software from the NES era right through to the PlayStation 4, and everything in between.

What we buy

We're interested in consoles, handhelds, games, controllers, and accessories from platforms including:

  • Nintendo: NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U, Game Boy, DS, 3DS
  • Sega: Master System, Mega Drive, Saturn, Dreamcast, Game Gear
  • Sony: PlayStation 1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, PS Vita
  • Microsoft: Original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One
  • Atari, Neo Geo, and other retro platforms

We also buy strategy guides, boxed/complete editions, limited editions, and retro gaming peripherals.

Condition doesn't have to be perfect

We accept items in all conditions, from mint and boxed through to well-loved and loose. Even consoles that aren't working may still have value to us, as we refurbish and repair hardware in-house. If you're unsure whether something is worth offering, send it over anyway. You might be surprised.

How it works

1. Tell us what you've got

Send us a list or some photos of the items you'd like to sell. The more detail the better. Platform, game titles, whether items are boxed or loose, and a rough idea of condition.

2. We'll make you an offer

We'll get back to you with a fair, no-obligation quote. Our prices are based on current market value and the condition of your items. No haggling, no pressure.

3. Get paid

Once we've agreed on a price, you can either post your items to us or arrange a local drop-off if you're in the Bristol area. We'll inspect everything and pay you promptly via bank transfer or PayPal.

Why sell to RetroQuest?

  • Fair prices. We base our offers on real market data, not lowball trade-in values.
  • No fees or commission. The price we quote is the price you get.
  • Quick turnaround. We aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours.
  • We buy bulk. Clearing out an entire collection? No problem. We're happy to make offers on large lots.
  • Specialist knowledge. We know retro gaming inside and out. We understand the value of what you have, including the uncommon stuff that other buyers might overlook.

Frequently asked questions

Do you buy broken consoles? Yes. We repair and refurbish hardware, so faulty consoles still have value to us. Just let us know what's wrong with them when you get in touch.

Do I need the original box? No, but boxed and complete items are worth more. Loose cartridges and disc-only games are absolutely fine too.

How do you decide on prices? We look at current sold prices across multiple marketplaces, the condition of the item, and whether it's complete with box and manuals. We'll always explain how we've arrived at our offer.

Can I sell just one item? Of course. We're happy to buy a single game or an entire collection.

Do you collect items? For larger collections in the Bristol area, we may be able to arrange collection. For everything else, we'll ask you to post items to us, and for bigger lots, we can contribute towards postage costs.
