Getting your submission ready

1. Fill in all the details and write a clear description

When you submit an object, you’ll see fields to guide you in providing the right information, such as: object type, number of consoles/games, brand, platform, year of manufacture, packaging, dimensions, condition, etc. These fields ensure your listing is clear, searchable, and easy for bidders to understand.

Note: To determine condition, we use the following grading system:

  • Mint – New, sealed, unused
  • Near mint – Used, fully working, no visible wear
  • Very good – Minor signs of use, working perfectly
  • Good – Visible wear, still functional
  • Fair – Heavy wear or damage but operational
  • Poor – Broken or incomplete (only accepted for consoles 25+ years old)

Please also use the object description field to share:

  • Unique features or notable history of the object
  • What is included/not included (e.g. packaging). 
  • Where the object came from/how it was obtained
  • If the object has any flaws

Tip: The more detail you provide, the easier it is for bidders to understand the value of your object – and the more likely it is to sell. Find here more tips on how to write a clear, accurate description.

“Selling a rare collection (private) of games from Nintendo Game & Watch. Games are in perfect, scratch-free, unused and tested - working condition.

History:

The Game & Watch brand (Japanese: γ‚²γƒΌγƒ &ウγ‚ͺッチ GΔ“mu & Uotchi; called Tricotronic in West Germany and Austria, abbreviated as G&W) is a series of handheld electronic games developed, manufactured, released, and marketed by Nintendo from 1980 to 1991. Created by game designer Gunpei Yokoi, the product derived its name from it featuring a single game as well as a clock on an LCD screen. The models from 1981 onwards featured an alarm in addition.

The units are based on a 4-bit CPU from the Sharp SM5xx family that include a small ROM and RAM area and an LCD screen driver circuit.

2. Great photos matter

Photos are the first thing bidders see – so make them count! We recommend including at least 5 high-quality images that clearly show the condition and details of your object. This helps bidders make informed decisions and increases your chances of a successful sale.


Your photos should include:

For all submissions:

  • A 360° view of the object
  • Close-ups of key details: labels, platform ID, original packaging
  • Accessories included (e.g. cables, controllers, manuals)
  • Any damage, wear, or restoration

For grouped submissions:

  • Overview image including all objects, as well as photos of each one individually

Tip: Avoid photos with people, selfies, or screenshots. Use a neutral background (white or black), avoid low-quality or stock images, and aim for natural lighting. Find here more tips on how to take professional photos.
