Looking for a fast and easy way to get some extra money? You can easily turn the video games, consoles, controllers or accessories that you don’t use or are ready to part with into cash by working with a trusted pawn shop. Whether you’re upgrading to the latest model, making room for new gear or just need make ends meet, Wild Side Pawn & Jewelry is your cheat code for fast cash. We accurately appraise your electronics then make a competitive offer. All you need is your items and a valid ID (you must be at least 18 years of age).
Here’s how to make the most of what you already own.
What We’re Looking For
At Wild Side Pawn & Jewelry, we accept a wide range of video games, consoles and accessories. While some pawn shops focus only on a few items, we take a comprehensive approach. If it’s part of a modern gaming setup, we want to see it.
Gaming Consoles
We’re actively buying and pawning current-generation and recent-generation consoles, including:
- PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4
- Xbox Series X and Series S
- Xbox One (including One S and One X)
- Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED
- Nintendo Switch 2
Consoles with all the original power cords, HDMI cables, charging docks and other parts will receive better offers. Limited editions, special bundles and consoles in their original boxes can also increase the value significantly.
Controllers and Accessories
We’re just as interested in your gaming gear as we are in your consoles. Accessories are a huge part of what we do. Bring in:
- Official and third-party controllers
- Charging stations and docks
- Wireless adapters and batteries
- Gaming headsets
- Gaming keyboards, mice and other PC peripherals
- Steering wheels, arcade pads and VR headsets
- Nintendo Joy-Cons, Pro Controllers and docks
- PlayStation DualSense or DualShock controllers
Games
Modern video game titles for PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S and Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 are welcome – especially recent releases or games in high demand. Complete games with original cases and artwork hold more value, but we’ll also review disc-only or cartridge-only games depending on the title.
Bundles and Collections
Have a complete setup? That’s even better. Full gaming stations with the console, multiple controllers, a headset and a few games can get better overall offers than trying to sell the items separately. We evaluate the full value and often make package deals that put more cash in your hands.
What About Retro Gear?
While our main focus is the current generation, we may still evaluate retro consoles and games on a case-by-case basis. Think original NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis or rare PlayStation 2 titles. If you’re not sure whether what you have is worth anything, bring it in. We’re happy to take a look.
Sell or Pawn – The Choice Is Yours
Once you’ve gathered your items, you’ll decide whether you want to sell them outright or pawn them for a short-term loan.
Selling is straightforward: we assess your gear and make a cash offer. You walk away with money in hand, no further steps needed.
Pawning gives you a short-term loan using your gaming items as collateral. You’ll receive an immediate cash payment and have a set period to return and repay the loan. When you do, your items are returned to you. If not, you keep the cash and we keep the items. There is no damage to your credit score, no collections and no legal obligations.
Pawning is a smart option if you need money now but don’t want to permanently part with your system or accessories.
How We Determine Value
At Wild Side Pawn & Jewelry, we understand gaming gear and we take every factor into account when assessing what your items are worth. Here’s what we consider:
- Functionality – Items should be fully functional, without hardware issues or defects
- Condition – Clean, well-maintained items will receive better offers
- Completeness – Items with all necessary cables, parts and packaging have higher value
- Market Demand – Current consoles and high-demand accessories are more valuable
- Packaging – Original boxes, manuals and inserts can boost the value, especially for consoles and collector’s editions
We stay up to date on trends, new releases and resale values so we can make offers that reflect the current market. Whether you’re bringing in a PS5 or a pro gaming headset, you’ll get a fair, fast appraisal from people who understand gaming equipment.
Tips and Tricks to Maximize Your Cash Offer
If you want to get the most out of your visit, keep these quick tips in mind:
- Reset your system – Wipe your console and remove any linked accounts before bringing it in.
- Clean everything – Dust off your console, controllers and accessories before showing them.
- Bring it all – Include every cord, cable, adapter and accessory that came with the original item.
- Check functionality – Make sure your item powers on, charges properly and connects as expected.
- Keep packaging – Original boxes and manuals add resale value
You don’t need everything to make a deal, but the more complete and clean your items are, the more you’re likely to earn.
