I'm rewriting my review due to hearing about a recent ownership change. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the new folks who run the place and they're absolutely fantastic. I'd love to work with them in the store one day if the opportunity ever came up. It looks like such fun for someone of my passions for gaming and hardware restorations. The Gamefather offers great trade-in value for old console games/systems and sells great used systems. I bought an Xbox 360 from them about 3 years ago and it still runs wonderfully and reliably. I had an issue with a game I got online due to a scratched up disc and they buffed it out for me for 2 bucks. Got my game working! I don't typically console game/retro game but I find myself coming into this store regularly because of how interesting it is and how nice the staff are. It's one of those locations I always want to support. It's always a pleasure visiting the Gamefather.

Looking to sell in my Xbox 1 with as well as Astro A10 headset. How much could I get?

Ben Carter | Oct 3, 2019

Don't believe they buy headsets, but so long as you have all the cords and a controller, you should get the best payout.

How much will yall give me for my old wii? It has all cords and a wii remote and nunchu. All it is mmissing is the panels on the side where the gamecube controllers plugin

Aaron Vance | Oct 3, 2019
Kris Priestley | Oct 3, 2019

They probably won't take it due to the panels being missing. But if they do...maybe 35-45$ they sell them for about 80$ depending on whether on or it it is a special color or not. White and black sell for 79.99 and I think red is 89.99 maybe more.

40 bucks if it is a regular non-limited edition GBC. Pokemon games are pricey due to popularity. But GB and GBC Pokemon games are probably closer to 20-30$
