Video games — especially retro titles and complete-in-box sets — are one of the most reliably profitable flips on eBay. FlipListr identifies the title, platform, region, and whether the game is CIB (complete in box) from a photo and writes a listing that buyers actually search for. Works across every platform from NES to PS5.

Manually, listing video-games on eBay takes 10–20 minutes — researching comps, writing the title and description, editing photos, and selecting item specifics. Using FlipListr, the same listing takes after seller review because AI handles everything from your photo.
Price video-games based on recently sold (completed) eBay listings for similar items in similar condition — not active listings, which show what sellers are asking, not what buyers paid. FlipListr's AI does this research automatically and suggests a competitive price when it generates your listing.
A CIB copy of a retro game can be worth 10x the cartridge alone. FlipListr spots completeness signals and prices accordingly. FlipListr is free to start — 5 listing checks per month, no credit card required.
Mistakes that cost sellers money — and how to avoid them.
A loose NES cartridge of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! sells for $25–35. The same game CIB (with original box and manual) sells for $200–300. CIB SNES, N64, and Game Boy games routinely sell for 5–15x their cartridge-only equivalent. Always note: cartridge only, cartridge + manual, or CIB.
"NES Mike Tyson Punch-Out CIB Complete in Box" front-loads the three things retro game buyers search: platform (NES), title (Punch-Out), condition signal (CIB). Don't write "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out Nintendo" — "NES" is the keyword buyers use, not "Nintendo."
SNES and NES cartridge labels age and can peel, fade, or get marker on them. A cartridge with a written name ("JOHN's") on the label is worth 30–50% less than a clean-label copy. Photograph the label. A label rating (Label: 8/10) is standard in game seller descriptions and eliminates disputes.
Common sports games (Madden, FIFA, NBA 2K) from the last 5–8 years sell for $2–6 individually — not worth listing one at a time. Bundle 10–15 similar-platform common sports games into a "lot" for $25–40. Individual listings make sense for anything worth $15+ on its own.

| Item | Typical Sold Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nintendo 64 Console (with cables) | $85–$130 | Controller included adds $15–20; yellow capacitor repair boosts price |
| Super Mario World SNES CIB | $80–$140 | Manual condition critical; box corners matter for top-tier buyers |
| Pokemon Red/Blue Game Boy (cart only) | $25–$45 | Internal battery check: save file holds? Mention it. Dead battery = $5 off |
| Chrono Trigger SNES (cartridge only) | $65–$100 | One of the most searched SNES titles; CIB hits $250–400 |
| PS2 Console (slim, with controller) | $55–$90 | Backward compatibility with PS1 is a key selling point to include |
