Sega Genesis Condition Notes

Genesis cartridge labels are more prone to fading and edge-lifting from UV exposure than most consoles of the era — direct sunlight is the main thing to avoid. Box quality varied a lot by printer and region, so expect some spine wear on most complete copies rather than treating it as a red flag.

How we get to your offer

We pull the live market comp for Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis, then apply the same locked rates we use on every trade-in: 65% of comp in cash, or 85% in store credit. No lowball guesswork, no per-item haggling. The comp is the only input, and the math is the same for a common sega genesis cart and a grail.
