high demand from enthusiasts and collectors.
Products from game manufacturers in the 80s and 90s, in particular, remain popular today.

There are various types of game music cassettes.

💰 Market Value and Evaluation Points
The following three points are emphasized when appraising game music cassettes.
Popularity of the work/Manufacturer
Works from Nintendo, Sega, Konami, Namco, Square, etc., have stable demand.Condition and Playability
Items without tape warping or mold, and those with cases and indexes, receive higher evaluations.Accessories (if any)
Having the obi strip, jacket, etc., included adds to the appraisal value.
For example,
"Dragon Quest"
"Mother 2"
These can sometimes be traded for several hundred yen or more.
🔍 Tips for selling at a high price
1. Include all accessories when submitting
Please send jackets, labels, etc., together as much as possible.
The more complete the set, the higher the appraisal.
2. Submit for appraisal in bulk
Submitting in bulk by series or manufacturer rather than one by one tends to increase the unit appraisal price.
Example: Konami sound source series, Namco cassette sets, etc.
3. Leaving the condition as-is is fine
It is safer to send them in their current condition without trying to force repairs on dirt or creases.
Items in good storage condition may sometimes fetch unexpectedly high prices.
📦 Benefits of home delivery appraisal
Because game music cassettes are small and lightweight, they are a
genre that is very well-suited for home delivery appraisal.
Appraisal completed just by sending from your home
Just pack them all together in a cardboard box
If you are not satisfied with the appraisal, they can be returned at your expense for return shipping
Also, CDs, records, strategy guides, and magazines can be appraised at the same time.
Sending genres together increases appraisal efficiency.
