Been having a clear out this week, I have cleared out my loft. Come across my kids old disgarded games consoles . Got the old Sega Mastersystem, Mega Drive, Snes,Playstation 1. All with their games ect. When I think what they cost me years ago, each one disgarded for the new model!! Do you think I should just give them to a charity shop or are they worth selling? plus a gameboy

there is a market for this sort of thing if you take them to the local boot sale you will probably have someone come up asking if you have any consoles for sale. on the other hand check out what they are selling for on ebay??? I am a gamer and many of my friends are too and we are always discussing the old consoles good luck with whatever you want to do with them x

Thanx for that I will look on ebay.

hi, ive always been in2 gaming and had pretty much everything on the market at some point. Put them on e-bay as i now collect them. I did sell them all at 1 point but i building it back up again.
Some guidelines are, snes boxed �30
gameboy boxed �20-30
atari jaguar boxed �30-�50
any you need to see the value, go on ebay and compare prices to the condition of yours. If you got really old stuff like vectrex and that then those can get over �100 on ebay. dont give them away, get some money back for them. Who knows i may even buy 1 off you. lol :-)
