A working Nintendo 64 with an original controller and cables typically resells for $90–$125, most likely around $100. Complete-in-box examples jump into a different tier entirely, and even a bare console with nothing else still sells — the N64 audience is deep enough that every configuration has a buyer.
What you have alongside the console matters as much as the console: original controllers (with healthy joysticks — the N64 stick famously wears), the Expansion Pak, and cartridges each add real money. The games are often worth more than the machine; check the classic titles in your box before selling anything as a bundle.

What’s yours worth, exactly?

- Test it on a TV and photograph the running screen — "tested working" with photo proof is the difference between full price and parts pricing.
- Check each controller’s joystick for looseness and grade it honestly; N64 buyers ask about sticks first because worn sticks are the console’s known flaw.
- Price your games individually before bundling — single classic cartridges like Mario Kart 64 can rival the console itself, and lots bury them.
- Include the jumper/Expansion Pak, original cables, and any memory paks in the photos; N64 accessories are getting scarce and lift the package.
The fastest route: photograph it once in the Reclaim app. Reclaim identifies the exact model, grades condition from the photo, prices it from comparable eBay listings, writes the listing, and publishes it to eBay and Facebook Marketplace under your own accounts in one tap.
Nintendo 64 value FAQ
Is an old Nintendo 64 worth anything today?
Solidly yes — a tested-working N64 with a controller brings $90–$125, and the trend has been upward for years because production ended in 2002 and working consoles keep leaving the market. Nintendo has never re-released N64 hardware, so the only way to play cartridges authentically is original equipment. Value scales with completeness: bare consoles anchor the bottom, working setups with controller and cables sit mid-range, and complete-in-box examples with styrofoam and paperwork reach collector prices several times higher. Region, color variants (clear "Funtastic" shells), and bundled games can push individual sales beyond the typical band.
Are N64 games worth more than the console?
Frequently, yes. A single evergreen cartridge — Mario Kart 64, GoldenEye, Super Mario 64, Zelda — can approach or exceed a bare console’s price on its own, and a shoebox of mixed cartridges often outvalues the machine it came with. That’s why the biggest mistake N64 sellers make is the lazy bundle: "console plus 10 games" for a flat price hands a reseller your margin. Check each cartridge title against the market before deciding what to bundle. Authenticity notes help too — collectors avoid reproduction carts, so photographing the cartridge back and board seams builds buyer confidence.
How do you sell a Nintendo 64 fast without underpricing it?
Test it, photograph the actual unit running, and price from comparable listings for your exact configuration — console-only, with-controller, and boxed are effectively three different products with three different prices, as the table above shows. Listing the games individually and the console as its own listing typically maximizes the total. Reclaim does the whole flow from photos: it identifies the console and each game, prices them from comparable eBay listings, writes the listings, and publishes to eBay and Facebook Marketplace in one tap — so the "sort out what each piece is worth" step stops being the reason the N64 stays in the closet.
