Do old Pokemon games sell well?

[NovelNerd]

I was debating selling mine, but the prices on Ebay are all over the places.  I don't want to get rid of my really old ones, but I thought about putting Silver, Crystal and Sapphire up. Does anyone know a general good price they bring?

[Icecrystalline]

Yes, I know.

Silver in the Uk is hard to price, as it's price fluctuates a
Lot but a minimum should sensibly be £11, since I've never seen it sell below that.
Crystal, the same, I'm after it, but I think I'm being traded it!
Sapphire isn't as old, and is fairly common, so £6 min, £11 max really.

Good luck!

On the odd chance the save files still work on Silver/Crystal, you may be able to get a little more for them.
I'd also say that Crystal might net you in a few more pounds, perhaps around £15. I've seen it reach as much as £30 just for the cartridge!

Save files? What do you mean? All m games still save.

[Stars]

I think it depends on whether it saves or not still too. I wouldn't mind picking up a working copy of Silver.

The memory eventually goes. My Gold version doesn't hold a save reliably any more as I uhm, kinda played it to death. Also - check to see if the internal battery in Sapphire still works (this affects whether berries grow/the weather changes, and other things).

I'll look them over when I dig them out. Lol all my games were only played once though and last I checked they were fine.

I'm unsure if the internal battery issue is an age thing or if it's affected by the number of times played; I definitely recall it happened to my Ruby version, but unsure if it happened to my Sapphire or not

I don't know about ebay but I do know they are popular around here

[Noepse]

Since the remakes will be coming out soon I believe many are interested in replaying the R/S/E games though. Would not surprise me if the prices for those started to raise for a while. Crystal is almost always a popular game especially if the saving feature still works!

if you put them up for sale i am sure they will sell fast.
i would put them in a lot.
 

good luck!

They seem to hold their prices pretty well from what I can tell.

I don't follow game prices, but there's many counterfeits of the GBA games (RSE, FRLG) so you might be able to get more for a real copy.

GSC copies have an internal battery that's responsible for the saves; when it goes, so does the save file. (It is replaceable, iirc.) RSE also have one, but I think it might just affect the clock (so nothing time-based would occur).

I'm pretty sure they sell well, though; definitely worth a try!

[MilkyTaroMochi]

If your Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald's internal battery dries up, the game tells you when you start up your file. It just says that time-based events, such as growing berries (and I assume catching certain pokemon), will no longer work.
It happened to my Sapphire a few months back.
