Game console value checker & scanner
Point your camera at any console and Minti identifies the system, model or revision, and region, then shows what it's worth from PriceCharting and live eBay listing data. Track it and sell it, all in one app.
How much is your console worth?
Console values move with the market, so a number from last year rarely holds. Minti checks what systems are actually selling for right now by pulling values from PriceCharting alongside live eBay listings, so a retro NES, a Game Boy revision, or a modern console all get a value grounded in current market data.
- Live market value from PriceCharting and live eBay listing comps
- Loose, complete-in-box, and sealed pricing so you can see the condition premium
- Price history across 7-day, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year windows, with Pro
Identify any system in seconds
Not sure exactly which unit you're holding? Minti reads the console and the box to identify the system, model or revision, and region, then matches it to a priced record. It separates special editions and bundles from standard units, so a limited-run color or a pack-in bundle doesn't get valued like a plain retail box.
- Scan the barcode on a boxed console and Minti logs the model in seconds, free on every plan
- Recognizes retro and modern systems across regions
- Separates model and hardware revisions that look nearly identical
- Auto-fills condition and attributes so your entry stays clean
Loose, complete, or sealed?
Condition drives console value more than almost anything else. A loose unit, a complete-in-box console with its controllers and cables, and a factory-sealed unit can each be worth very different amounts. Minti shows values across these conditions and helps you account for missing controllers and cables. For sealed units, note that graded (WATA or VGA) consoles carry a premium over raw, so a sealed unit that has been professionally graded typically sells for more than an ungraded one.
Organize your console collection
Keep your systems in sets and folders that mirror how you actually collect. Every item carries its images, condition, region, and current value, and your portfolio total updates as the market moves, so you always know what your shelf is worth.
Profit and loss tracking, so every console shows what you paid next to what it is worth now, and your realized profit after fees once it sells.
Buy, sell & auction in the marketplace
When you're ready to trade, list any console as a fixed-price Buy It Now or a live auction with anti-snipe extensions. Make and receive offers, accept secure payment through Stripe, and ship with a pre-paid label. Funds are held safely until the buyer confirms delivery.
Heavy to ship? Hand it over locally
A console with its box, controllers, and cables is bulky and expensive to ship, which is why plenty of them never sell. List it for local pickup instead. The buyer pays through Minti up front, the money is held until you meet, and you scan the buyer's QR code or a 6 digit code at the handoff to release it. The buyer then has a 48 hour inspection window to plug it in and confirm it works, so the sale stays protected without a shipping box or a cash-in-hand meetup.
Gaming console FAQ
How do I find out what my gaming console is worth?
Scan the console with Minti. The AI identifies the system, model or revision, and region, then pulls values from PriceCharting and live eBay listings so you see what the console is actually selling for right now, not an outdated guess.
Can Minti identify the system, model, and region?
Yes. Minti reads the console and its box to pin down the system, the specific model or hardware revision, and the region, and it separates special editions and bundles from standard units.
Does complete-in-box vs loose change the value?
Yes. A loose console, a complete-in-box unit with controllers and cables, and a sealed unit can each be worth very different amounts. Minti shows values across these conditions so you know what you actually have.
Is Minti free to use?
Yes. Minti is free to download and includes a monthly allowance of AI scans, plus organizing, value tracking, and marketplace access. Paid tiers raise the scan and storage limits for larger collections.
How do I sell gaming consoles on Minti?
List any console as a fixed-price Buy It Now or a live auction, receive offers from buyers, and accept secure payment through Stripe. Minti generates a pre-paid shipping label and holds funds until the buyer confirms delivery.
How do I sell a console that is heavy or awkward to ship?
List it for local pickup. The buyer pays through Minti up front, the money is held until the handoff, and you scan the buyer's QR code or a 6 digit code in person to release it. The buyer gets a 48 hour inspection window to plug the console in and confirm it works, so neither side has to ship a heavy box or trade cash in person.
