Looking for somewhere local to sell an old video game system—or hoping to find a classic console for your collection? Dixie Pawn & Jewelry buys, sells and evaluates retro gaming consoles, games and accessories at our Hollywood, Florida store.

We regularly see Nintendo, PlayStation, Sega, Atari and older Xbox systems from customers throughout Hollywood, Dania Beach and Broward County. Value depends on the system, condition, current demand and whether the original controllers, cables, games or packaging are included.

What Should You Bring With a Retro Console?

Bring the console along with its power cable, controllers and video cables whenever possible. Games, memory cards, original boxes and manuals may also add value.

Before visiting:

Test the console and controller
Remove personal accounts and saved payment information
Bring the correct power and video cables
Include matching games and accessories
Avoid throwing away original packaging or manuals

A complete, clean and testable system is easier to evaluate than a console by itself.

What Hollywood & Broward Locals Should Know Before Selling or Buying

If you’ve got an old video game console sitting in a closet, you’re not imagining things—retro console prices are moving again.

We see it every week at Dixie Pawn & Jewelry. People walk in thinking their old system is outdated, then get surprised when it still holds real value.

This isn’t just nostalgia. It’s a mix of younger buyers, supply issues with new consoles, and a growing retro gaming market that’s pushing demand back toward physical systems.

Let’s break down what’s actually happening and what it means for locals in Hollywood and Broward County.

Why Retro Consoles Are Gaining Value Again

It’s Not Just Millennials & Gen X Anymore

Retro gaming used to be driven by people replacing what they grew up with. Now we’re seeing a lot of younger buyers—Gen Z especially—buying older systems on purpose.

They’re coming in looking for things like:

Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) & Playstation 3
Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS
Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance
Original Nintendo Switch
Xbox 360
Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

Most of them didn’t own these systems originally. They found them through YouTube, Twitch, speedrunning, or just wanting games that don’t disappear when a server shuts down.

The Retro Gaming Market Is Bigger Than People Think

The retro gaming market is estimated around $3.8 billion globally, and it’s still growing.

That affects demand for systems we regularly see at the shop, including:

Sony PlayStation 1 (PS1) and PlayStation 3 (PS3)
Xbox 360
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
Super Nintendo (SNES)
Nintendo 64
Sega Genesis / Mega Drive
Atari 2600

Not every console is rare, but working systems in decent condition are moving faster than they did a few years ago.

Popular Retro Gaming Consoles We Buy and Sell

Pawn Loans vs Selling: What’s the Difference?

We explain this a lot at the counter.

Pawn loan: You leave the item with us as collateral, get cash, and can come back to redeem it.
Selling: You’re done with the item and want to turn it into cash.
