Handheld Price Guide



So, you want to sell that old GameGear and want to know how much to ask, or you're looking for a PC LT and want to know what is a reasonable price? Look no further than our online console price guide.

We list four categories of prices. The first is the original retail price of the system. The second is the lowest clearance price that the system was sold for at retail. The third is the price for a used system that is mint in original box. The box should be in very good cosmetic condition, but may have minor shelf wear. The system and accessories should be in new condition. The fourth price is for a used system that is complete, and in working condition. The system should not have any cosmetic defects. The screen should be free of scratches and the controls should work impeccably.

The prices listed are in US dollars. They assume that the item is in hand in the USA, and thus shipping charges should be deducted from these prices. This is particurly important in cases in which the item is shipped from Japan, as the shipping cost can be around $100.00

We calculate our prices based on the availability of and interest in a system. We consider the immediate availability of an item through searches of online stores and auctions. We also consider the absolute availability through the approximate size of the production run. The interest in a system is determined through the consideration of the number of fan sites, and the recorded sales of items.

The systems are listed in roughly chronological order.
