The "Is This Game Rare?" Thread

[Vinny]

its common for the moment. above $30. really not worth to sell it for that much. harmony of dissonance alone, sealed, would be $200! the most expensive GBA game atm. beats Tactics Ogre by maybe $50 to $80.


Are you sure? I've never seen Aria or Harmony (the individual games, not the double pack) go for more than $50 sealed. Currently, there is one for Harmony that ended at $75 with a best offer- which is much higher than I've ever seen it at.

the most expensive castlevania i've seen was a sealed Castlevania Legends that ended at around $700+. handheld castlevania games are definitely on the rise these days.

edit: i just saw the $75 auction.. its a very risky buy since the seller used stock photos. i rarely seen expensive games go for what their current value when sellers use stock photos.

[007]

That's GOT to be rare cases, though... I can't imagine people are routinely dropping either $200 or $700 (!!!!) on sealed GBA games regularly.

It's nice to see, but I have a hard time believing that's what would be a normal ending price for an auction.

its is rare but it is common since they probably printed a few thousand of them. there are actually 3 known misprints for FFVII for Ps1

you can read about them here (http://www.game-rave.com/psx/playstation_perfect_guide/releasedgames/final_fantasy_vii/index.html).

they aren't worth as much as the original/regular versions. they're not so special. maybe upto $20 more if you emphasized them in your listings.


I got the REALISTIC VIOLENCE!?!!#@@?!! version. I didn't know it was a misprint, but I did notice it once and thought it was funny and weird. As if some employee was trolling the game. Anyone would think FF7 was an M rated game after reading that. I see that the picture of Ifrit above is smaller on the normal copy. Does that matter?

I remember seeing Final Fantasy VII on a news report for violent games a year or two after its release.

Just as I was thinking that Final Fantasy VII is a turn-based RPG that doesn't even directly place the player in control of the action, some gray-haired politician pops up and says "Even instructing the characters to do something violent can trigger similar urges in young people."

Yea, like the urge to kick you in the teeth, you idiot.

[DaftPunkFan37]

Hey, are any of these worth anything?

Quack Shot - Genesis
Animaniacs - Genesis
Buster's Hidden Treasure - Genesis

Aladin - Genesis

All Boxed

also

Final Fantasy Motion Picture Sountrack - Sealed

The ? one is cool spot. Its with the spot thing that's the 7-up mascot.

There was a time when the whole Suikoden IV promo set (CD, coin, and wall scroll) used to get ~$50 but that was a long time ago.

...Also I know it's not a game but I have a comic book of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I asked about it in general with no luck. It's not one of those Valiant few page comics. It's got quite a few.

Maybe got forgotten at the end of a page?
or
maybe nobody knows/cares?

[phear3d]

Maybe got forgotten at the end of a page?

It's not worth much, these are listed on eBay from time to time and I've never seen one sell.

[Jack]

It's not worth much, these are listed on eBay from time to time and I've never seen one sell.

Have you checked recently? The last 3 that I could find sold for $47.03, $33, and $51 (prices are all after shipping). When I got mine a year or two ago, they weren't going for more than $10.

Yea I have the first one with the incorrect "i" on the back. The only reason I ask is because I stumbled upon this "error" in another forum and decided to look at my copy. Sure enough it was there. Thanks for all the info though! :)

[PenguinoMF]

I didn't feel like making a new thread for this so I figured this would be the best place for this.

I'm putting a bunch of stuff on Craigslist including some NES games I have. Within 5 minutes of posting my listing I get an offer for $20. The listing includes:

Dr. Mario
Excitebike
Gun Smoke
Hogan's Alley
Ice Hockey
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
Pac-Man - Tengen ver.
Rad Racer
Silent Service
Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt
Super Mario Bros. 3
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
Lightgun Zapper
2 Controllers

I looked at videogamepricecharts.com and figured it to be worth about $45-50, mostly because of Punch Out, TMNT, and a couple other items.

What should I counter this guy with? He must seem to want it because he responded so quickly.

Valkyrie Profile for PS 1. I have been told by some that it's pretty rare and by some people that it isn't. I've also been told that it's the rarest of the rare.

It is fairly rare and expensive, the average price the last 3 months is $80 (http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/game/playstation/valkyrie-profile) according to VGPC.

Suikoden II, Persona Revelations, and Tactics Ogre sell for more than Valkyrie Profile.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

Here's my question:

I found a store that has both Lady Bug and Looping for the Atari 2600 for sale cheap.

Worth it or not? Lady Bug was supposedly a cancelled game and Looping is a prototype(10 on Digit Press' rarity list).

I'm just wondering what the potential for them might be, since I don't really see too many good Atari games around here.

What color are the carts? If they are Black then they are Colecovision games. I think I have Lady Bug for the Intellivision which would also be black but notably smaller then a Colecovision or 2600 game.

[dnrrule]

I just sold a Ladybug for colecovision for 16 dollars

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

They're black. I remember having several Colecovision games for the 2600 back in the day.

According to Digit Press, the two main games I'm looking at getting had insanely low printing runs(Lady Bug only had 250 copies and Looping may be THE prototype cartridge)on the 2600. Even Gamefaqs lists Lady Bug as never even RELEASING for the 2600, same with Looping.

If anything, if I find out they're not worth squat, I may hope that someone ELSE buys them.

But since I couldn't find an article stating that Looping ever officially released, that may indeed be a prototype copy.

Coleco made 2600 games which would be tan. Sounds like your looking at the Colecovision (as in the system) versions which are both common as far as Colecovision games go.

You know what's funny, is that the ColecoVision article you linked to, has a ColecoVision with a copy of Lady Bug in the cart slot.

I snapped a pic of the lot of games I'm buying and the carts for Looping and Lady Bug don't say 'ColecoVision' on them that I recall.

Oh and when checking Digit Press' rarity guide, there is NO version listed for ColecoVision though, which is what made me want to buy the lot of games I'm looking at.

I had a few games back in the day that said ColecoVision presents which worked on my 2600(from what I remember anyway), so I think they were also a publisher of titles back then.

This is where I was 'buying' them from(but now after being re-educated about the possibility that they're just ColecoVision 'common' versions, I want someone else to buy them lol):

Castlevania:OoE I would expect to be rare but not go for more than $40 for a long time, so not really.

Dawn of Sorrow got a reprint, Aria of Sorrow got a reprint as double pack, and PoR isnt rare at all. If you are a collector it would be a bad idea, but investment is always risky.

[phear3d]

And would it be a good investment to get Castlevania:OoE? Aria and Dawn of sorrow are pretty rare, would this one be?
if you want to invest on castlevania OoE, i would suggest waiting until it gets a price cut. if the game becomes rare, your investment will be slightly higher compared to when you buy it at full msrp.

[FOnewearl]

That exactly what I was thinking as I took notice to the picture :D

It can be confusing when you see 2600 games that may have some Colecovision or Intellvision games mixed in with them. Looking at that auction I see Popeye which is probably the 2600 version but IIRC the Colecovision version looked exactly the same so you'd have to take a good look at it (and maybe read some of the smaller print) to see what system it was for.

I bet that auction you have linked won't get any other bids.

[schuerm26]

speaking of 2600 games, are any of you that are talking about them wanting any? I have a box of them here. Nothing special but I have no use for them. I would sell them cheap.

I doubt it will either. What I laugh about is that I had completely forgotten that I had a few games from Coleco that were on the 2600 and now that I think about it, they were TAN. :roll:

But the fact of the matter is, a majority of game publishers back then put out games in black carts, so it could get VERY confusing.

I wouldn't mind Barnstorming but buying online isn't going to be an option for me as I would pay a buck for it tops which obviously wouldn't even cover shipping.

It can get confusing especially if you don't specialize in collecting the 1st, 2nd generation games. I bought Venture for the 2600 a few years ago while fleaing thinking it was the Colecovision version forgetting that it was also on the 2600. I forgot about some of the 2600 games that (kind of) looked like Intellivision games and would see them thinking that they were Intellivision games mixed in with 2600 games. I'm thinking of some of the 2600 games by Mattel (Frogs And Flies for example).

Some games I have that I consider rare, what do u guys think -

*Ico - PS2 (2 sealed copies)
*Castlevania: SoTN - PS1 (non gh)
*Legend of Zelda Collectors - GC
*SMT: Digital Devil Saga - PS2
*SMT: Nocturne - PS2
*Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - XBox
*Gradius V - PS2
*Samurai Shodon V - Xbox
*Metal Slug X - PS1
*Doom 3 Limited Collectors Ed. - XBox & Reg PC version (just b/c signed by id team)

[chinchillables]

I believe the guy game is rare because one of the girls in it is actually underage, making it child pornographyhttp://top5choices.com/-pics-/yesa.jpg It should have been pulled from shelves, but I could be wrong but that's what I've heard.

Depends on where it was made... if it's Japanese/Chinese, then they get away with all that underage stuff... Here in the States though, they're would be a ban on it faster than you can fix a bowl of cereal or water for the pets.

There's a difference between rare and valuable... SotN is not rare, it sold a ton of copies and had a GH release. DDS and Nocturne were both reprinted and since then, I've see copies all the time at EB/GS.

I used to have Venture and Zaxxon, which were also on ColecoVision and after I thought about it, I remembered that the Coleco produced games for the 2600 were tan and NOT black. I'm glad you pointed it out and that I remembered the few Coleco games I had myself being a different color or I would've been stuck with a fairly common set of games.

You know what got me about the whole mess with The Guy Game, was that the girl may have been underage, but she had a fake ID and signed off giving permission for them to use her footage. Even funnier is that her and her parents SUED the company for damages after she pulled her illegal shit she did. Once they brough the legal action in court, she should've been charged and easily convicted of using the fake ID and suffered some sort of consequences.

By the way, Gamestop still sells the game in store for between $12.99 and $14.99 for the Xbox and PS2 respectively(http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx?N=0&Ntk=TitleKeyword&SHOWUB=true&Ntt=the+guy+game&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial ). So, in essence, every time they sell it, they're selling a pornographic game with an underage girl in it, which further cements my belief that Gamestop is the most unscrupulous chain out there as long as it benefits them.

it is. 2nd most expensive game according to GameSniped. it will be 1st if it sells for 50k. the nintendo world cart (the gold and grey carts) are popping out every now and then on ebay.. it is rare but when theres more than 2 listed every year the value sort of goes down a bit.

So I've been doing a little digging in my backlog lately and I have found some interesting prices on the Amazon Marketplace that I needed some clearing up.

Alien Hominid (new/sealed) (GC) - $32.99-$62.99 on Amazon Marketplace
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (new/sealed) (PS2) - $41.85-$52.75 on Amazon Marketplace

I have others that i haven't looked up yet but is there something going on with these games in particular that make them "rare" or expensive?

These games themselves aren't really rare but since they're fairly old, sealed copies aren't exactly common and so they do hold some value to collectors. But not every sealed copy of an old game is rare though, the games usually have to have a following of sort.

Ah ok, that makes some sense. I was just looking at my Amazon seller's account and thinking, "Hey, why not sell some of the old games?" I looked up Alien Hominid because it was the first one I remembered and boom, $62.xx brand new. I almost fell out of my chair lol.

Meh, I might put them up for grabs and see if they get nabbed. Who knows, right? Thanks for the info!

doesn't the behemoth site sell it for $10?

[Vinny]

doesn't the behemoth site sell it for $10?

That's one thing that makes Amazon Market's prices unrealiable... when an item is available in unless common stores, the sellers basically do their best to keep the price high and make people get a false sense of value in hopes that someone buys a copy.

This is further enforced due to eBay limiting completed auctions to the past 15 days so people can't get a good estimate of what an item is worth.

What's a complete Metroid Prime Gamecube bundle worth? Is it rare?
It's a platinum GC with a cool looking metalic cover with Samus on it
that slides over the retail box and comes with a 2 disc Not For Sale version
of Metroid Prime with a demo for MP2 and history of Metroid series on it.
I bought it at Sears many years ago. Never seen any sold online.

By itself would the game have anymore worth than a regular copy of MP?
Thanks.

If it's still sealed, I would value it at around $100. It's not the rarest item out there, but it is not very common on the other hand.

Crusty Demons (XB)

i saw this at a blockbuster the other day and i debated picking it up because i had never heard of it. it's a mature rated game about motorbiking or something. sounds ridiculous but if it's rare, i'm picking it up. does anyone know?

It's an uncommon game.

[chimpster1313]

It's an uncommon game.

worth buying for $5? might even be free because it was in the buy 1 get 1 bin.

[Rozz]

worth buying for $5? might even be free because it was in the buy 1 get 1 bin.

It got some pretty poor reviews, and I've never played it, but who knows... you might be able to get $5 (or $0, if you get it free) worth of fun out of it.

I have Earthbound and the Mario All Star game for the SNES. Is that rare?

[j516mt]

Just picked up a copy of Phantasy star episdoes 1&2 plus for the Cube for 7.99 sealed. Any value to this game?

[chronodev]

Just picked up a copy of Phantasy star episdoes 1&2 plus for the Cube for 7.99 sealed. Any value to this game?

Definetly a good deal. I believe its worth up to $100

[chronodev]

I have Earthbound and the Mario All Star game for the SNES. Is that rare?

Earthbound has a rarity rating of 51% according to the SNES rarity guide (http://www.rarityguide.com/snes_view.php) at RarityGuide.com. It is worth quite much, almost $100 for the loose cartridge, according to the price guide there.

Super Mario All stars (44% rarity rating) iis only worth much if it is sealed ($180) otherwise not very much

[Josef]

Can I ask how you got a sealed copy of this game this long after its release? And for that insane price?

I would guess a thrift shop, or maybe a garage sale

You could probably get a non sealed one on Ebay for around $40- $50. (still alot, but half of the price of a sealed copy)

jjgames did a blog article on the most expensive gamecube games atm

http://blog.videogamepricecharts.com/2008/11/30-rare-expensive-gamecube-games.html

the 1st one is phantasy star 1&2 plus:


New Price: $200 Used Price: $58
Phantasy Star Online Plus is a rerelease of the Phantasy Star Online game for Gamecube (also on this list). The Plus version fixed a few bugs in the intial release and added a few extra areas. The game sold poorly because it was an online game released after everyone realized the Gamecube's online was dead on arrival.


you got a great deal. the blog post was from november of last year.. the value could probably be less.. but theres no harm in trying.. list it for $249.99 and thank me later :)

i do require a 3% cut from the sale :bouncy::bouncy:

thats worth around $44.. check out the link up ^^^

im sure somewhere someone paid that much for it, it could be amazon.

right but i paid $40 back in the day.

[punkmaggit]

It's rare indeed, but doesn't command a high asking price.

hmmm is Dragon Seeds for playstation one rare at all?

[jousley]

This thread used to be informative but now it's just where lazy folks or fakers seem to post. I mean come on.....Can't you just do a search on eBay for most of this? And some of the posts just seem too far fetched to believe. "Oh I have Earthbound...is it worth anything?" Or "I found a sealed Panzer Dragoon Saga for a dollar in a Walmart bin"... is it just me, or do some of these posts just seem...fake?

sealed copies of ICO keeps going up :)

[chimpster1313]

well, i could probably list myself under the 'uninformed' category, more so than the lazy and i'm definitely not a faker. but now that someone posted the link for the video game prices & values, that isn't so much the truth and quite frankly i'll probably never have to use this thread again.

[chronodev]

It is pretty rare for a PS1 game, probably around $30-$40 bucks complete, double that for sealed.

sealed copies of ICO keeps going up :)

I remember when I picked up a copy for $15 at BestBuy in 2002 or 2003 thinking it would be rare one day. But I thought about picking up a second copy to play. I didn't but a few days after I got home, I became really interested in the game since so many people said it was such a great game so I opened that one copy and really enjoyed it.

Too bad I didn't pick up that second copy.:-( Oh well.

[62t]

I also got a sealed ICO.

[Scorch]

It's a shame my sealed original XBox games aren't worth anything anymore.. Fatal Frame 2, Guy Game, Conker..

Robot Alchemic Drive, is it worth getting to play? I had requested a copy on Goozex forever and no one had it.

[Otherguy676]

I asked this question in the Old school forum, but Ill ask here too. I bought an Amiga CD32 console at a flea market for $10. Is this console rare? I think its only import only, does anyone know any info on it?

Not that rare, I see it in the open market a lot. Still, $10 is a good deal (not the greatest steal but still decent)

[Vinny]

I don't know much about Xbox games too much but Fatal Frame 2 and the Guy Game are pretty rare- sealed copies should be worth a decent amount I'd think.

sealed copies of ICO keeps going up :)

*cries a little inside* About 4 or 5 years ago I went to an RC Wiley just for kicks with my wife and they had a whole wall full of "budget" games. There were like 6 or 7 sealed ICO's for $10 a pop. :cry: I'm still kicking myself for not picking those up. Of course, that's before I was a CAG!

[chronodev]

Fatal Frame 2 isnt that rare, but still the fact that its sealed make it worth up to like 30 bucks. Same for Conker.

Guy Game is a bit rarer, I'd value it at around $50 to $60 sealed

those sites are great indeed.. but unfortunately, the prices they show are average prices.

Of course, that's before I was a CAG!yeah.. we all had our shares.. if it'll make you feel better, BJs had boxes filled with Tales of Destiny 2 for $4.99. i remember seeing so many that it took an entire rack. i didnt know much, so i ignored it.

btw, ICO sells for $150 now. crazy. i am sitting with 3 sealed copies and i still refuse to sell it for that. maybe its just a greed thing.

[Persona7]

You could probably get a non sealed one on Ebay for around $40- $50. (still alot, but half of the price of a sealed copy)I remember when PSO Plus was released, ebay was SWAMPED with tons of new sealed copies and most of them sold for like 26$, thats when I got one.

The sad thing, is that my copy snapped in half when I was pulling it out from the case.

Ebay is not always a reliable indicator for a value of an item (though it is many times a good one). Yes, you could say that what people are willing to pay for an item is, in the end, what its worth. But take, For example, this auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_fvi=1&_trksid=m38.l1313&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR4 0&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_nkw=170283071724&item=170283071724&viewitem=&salenotsupported). Does this man a PS2 is worth $1000? I don't think so.

[Josef]

Those are not rare

I imagine Santa Claus Saves the Earth is somewhat rare. Ninja Five-0 as well.

Trying to unload a lot of my original Xbox games while they're still worth $1.00 and caught that a lot KOTOR 2 sealed is showing $60 plus on Amazon, Half and Ebay. Is it rare enough that I actually bother trying to get that?

Is it rare enough that I actually bother trying to get that?kotor 1 & 2 are both excellent games. unfortunately they don't sell for as much as they should (well they did before mass effect came out, used copies sell for $30-$50). i have sealed copies of both and i will hold on to it for much longer. you should too.

I know the feelings. It's right behind, "I saw X amount of copies of _________ for $__ but I passed on them and now they sell for $$$$$$$".:lol:

I hate how every sealed game I own ends up being worthless or gets reprinted (fucking Atlus and their lies).

atlus became smarter. i dont doubt that other older titles will get reprinted again. now even the original persona is rumored for the psp.. with the ps1 already at an insane price.. i can only hope they will reprint the ps1 version to bring the price of it on the second hand market, just like they did with persona 2

Yea at this point Atlus and NISA games are much more likely to get a reprint as they seems to know their demand.

Ah, same thing happens to me all the time, teaches me not to wait until the last hour to bid, in hopes that everyone else watching forgets to bid, but if you forget too, well, you're screwed. Well, it does work every now and then, but forgetting to bid is in a sense, "nature's way" of saving you money ;)

Yeah, they're definitely not a safe bet for collectors value anymore. I do wonder though, how this will affect them in the long run.

[GameBoyee]

Are those games hard to find then?

in my area i cant find those games

[Vinny]

Are those games hard to find then?

in my area i cant find those games

They stopped making GBA games (besides some of those kids games) a while ago and most stores stopped carrying them and/or cleared out remaining stock. Yes, that makes them hard to find but that doesn't mean anything in terms of collectivity or monetary value. Atari games are hard to find but 99% of them aren't worth shit.

Of all the games you listed, I think only Ninja Five-O is worth a significant amount of money and was really rare. Minish Cap is mildly rare too I think.

[62t]

A sealed Minish cap would be very hard to find. A complete is a bit harder, while a cart only isnt hard to find at all.

[GameBoyee]

i meant used

[eastshore4]

This isn't so much a "is this rare" question, rather I'd like to know if any of you guys THINK these may become rare in the future by considering whatever factors usually contribute to a game being rare/valuable. The DS seems to have the largest collection of rarities compared with all the other current-gen systems, so I'm making that platform the focal point of my inquiry:

Super Princess Peach - I don't see this game much anywhere, I almost forgot it even existed. Was this a limited print?

World Ends with You - I'm tempted to pick this game up because it seems so unique, but it's still @ 40 bucks everywhere. I'd rather wait for it to go on sale, but there's always the possibility that it will only go up in price so I'm trying to figure out if I should jump on it now

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin/Order of Ecceslia - Castlevania games seem to come in two flavors: super pricey and cheap as dirt. I'm curious as to which category these two games will fall into.

I don't remember the name of the other game I wanted to ask about, it was some sort of creative musical tinkering thing. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It's not the korg emulator I'm thinking of.

[62t]

Portable games usually get smaller print so they can become hard to find.

Super Princess Peach - the game is almost 2 years old and it is going to be out of print by now.
TWEWY - was hard to find after a while but there was a second shipment so it is everywhere now

Castlevania - just about every game (SotN, 3 GBA games, and Dawn of Sorrow) has been reprint or port so I dont see how it is pricey.

[Josef]

I don't remember the name of the other game I wanted to ask about, it was some sort of creative musical tinkering thing. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It's not the korg emulator I'm thinking of.

Not the Korg DS 10 simulation? How about Electroplankton? Or Rhythm 'N Notes?

Castlevania - just about every game (SotN, 3 GBA games, and Dawn of Sorrow) has been reprint or port so I dont see how it is pricey.

I think Super Princess Peach got a reshipment in over the holidays. It was in the TRU ad and I've seen it it mass quantities at various TRU's.

TWEWY also had a reshipment, and a price drop to $29.99.

I agree with you on Castlevania, though even though they have had reprints, they are still relatively pricey because they are sought after and wanted. For example the Castlevania 2 pack seems to be going for a decent amount now.

[62t]

Yea it was strange that only TRU got Super Princess Peach, but nintendo did reprint a bunch of their DS games so it is not so unusually.

[Doomstink]

The collectability for sealed DS games is usually marred by the cheap Chinese bootlegs that flood eBay and bring the price down on the genuine copies. A sealed copy of Tetris DS used to be worth something and now, thanks to Chinese bootlegs, they are only worth around $40.

[phear3d]

princess peach isnt oop i think. just hard to find atm. TRU has a bunch of them still at full price. they were oop sometime last year but before black friday i saw them restock these. alot of other major retailers have probably order them and just waiting to get restocked. mario kart wii is still pretty hard to find in stores and sells for twice as much last christmas.

[Link927]

It all depends on your area I guess. I see copies of Mario Kart Wii everywhere. Princess Peach is only avaliable at TRU, but still plentiful.

[eastshore4]

Not the Korg DS 10 simulation? How about Electroplankton? Or Rhythm 'N Notes?

That's it! It was electroplankton!

I agree with you on Castlevania, though even though they have had reprints, they are still relatively pricey because they are sought after and wanted. For example the Castlevania 2 pack seems to be going for a decent amount now.

I was always under the impression that games like SOTN fetched a higher price(even after it became available on PSN/SNLA), I thought I once heard that one of the GBA was quite valuable too. I also sold my GB copy of Castlevania Legends for like $35

as for SOTN, it doesn't fetch as much as it used to be since its available through PSN and XBLA. you can buy it as low as $15 nowadays and with the PSP port now also a GH title, the value have really come down.. before the ports, it used to sell for $40-$60 and one cag i remember sold it for $500 used including the official guide (i remember seeing a post about it almost 2 years ago).

as for the GBA, before OOE for the DS came out, there was a couple of sealed Circle of the Moon that sold for $200.

[mistermoravec]

I have capcom vs marvel 2 for xbox. I bought it at costco for a little over 30 bucks when it first came out a few years ago (2003, I think). A friend recently saw I had it and asked if I would sell it to him for 50 bucks. I was shocked at told him I only paid 30 bucks for it and that was when it was new...but I would look for one for him online and it would probably be way cheaper than 50 bucks...I haven't been able to find one,...is this a rare game?

[schuerm26]

Been meaning to ask this for some time now. I saw at a store a Tony Hawk's Project 8 game for the XBOX. It was a limited edition and it came with a Project 8 Skate Deck (I think that's what it's called). It was a skatebaord but not sure if it had wheels or if it was just the actual board. Is this rare at all?

Yes I realize Tony Hawk games aren't worth anything but I hadn't ever seen or heard of this limited edition.

[Doomstink]

Symphony of the Night still sells for around $40.00 if you do a Buy it Now listing. Auction styles always end around 30% - 50% less than Buy it Now listings. I tend to take game's values at their "Buy It Now" prices rather than the low end auction prices.

[jibberjabo91]

Can anyone please respond and tell me what to do with this final fantasy VII Game for PS1 it is Greatest Hits and all 3 discs in perfect shape with the booklet and original case only having 3 or 4 minor cracks. BTW i bought this game from a friend for only about 5 dollars because he said that it was a piece of crap but i didnt think it was b/c i thought it was valuable or so i heard.....

[rigo707]

Are pokemon crystal version and gripshift rare

[Friend of Sonic]

What about Mario Teaches Typing 2? I had no idea there was a sequel, but had to grab it. There's one completed listing on Ebay for 22.00.

[jibberjabo91]

There was actually a sequel to that game? That is one thing that i didnt know. Well i never heard of it at all, it could possibly be a rarity but idk.

[Friend of Sonic]

Yep. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_is_Missing!#Mario_Teaches_Typing_2

Blew my mind too. It was worth the 2.99 I paid... and it made up for the copy of Star Trek: Elite Force 2 I found a month ago that was missing the first disc. :bomb:

[jibberjabo91]

Yeah i did not even know that it was a game i guess it is valid now though.......

[freund219]

Hey. I was wondering if Madden '41 is rare. I have it for the qbox 1080.

Is this rare at all?

Yes I realize Tony Hawk games aren't worth anything but I hadn't ever seen or heard of this limited edition.it is but its not worth a whole lot of money. i remember buying it at target when they put it on clearance, got one for nearly $30. its a cool thing to have but its like a madden collectors or limited edition... they dont hold a value very much. just keep it and maybe in 5 years it'll be worth more than $100 :). i warn you though, finding a box that will fit that gigantic thing isn't easy. i traded mine to a cag and after 3 days i just decided to create my own from a regular cardboard box.

Symphony of the Night still sells for around $40.00 if you do a Buy it Now listing. Auction styles always end around 30% - 50% less than Buy it Now listings. I tend to take game's values at their "Buy It Now" prices rather than the low end auction prices. its easier to sell at a price you truly prefer but sometimes its alot harder to and tends to stay on longer than it should be. its good for those who doesn't really want to let it go cheap. but there will always be that small percentage that it'll sell pass the minimum BIN price with regular listings..

[ChernobylCow]

I saw a sealed PS1 Dinocrisis at HPB. I didn't want it, but was wondering if it was worth the $6. (the sealed packaging was sticky with tape residue and minutely slit).

On Amazon the cheapest SOTN is a heavily-scratched disc only copy for almost $30.

I saw a sealed PS1 Dinocrisis at HPB. I didn't want it, but was wondering if it was worth the $6. (the sealed packaging was sticky with tape residue and minutely slit).

It should be worth about $30-$40 - finding someone to buy it is another issue.

[aniousjoe]

(the sealed packaging was sticky with tape residue and minutely slit).yeah get it. i keep wanting to get the one i saw before but im not sure if its still there. i found a store that had 15 copies of these but at the time, i thought $10 was too much for it. i wanted to offer him $5 but he seems to be set at that price.

[sp00ge]

An absolute shock to me! I listed a sealed Platinum Hits version of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 on Amazon, pennies below the lowest price, and it sold. How much, you ask?

Item: Star Wars Battlefront II [Xbox]
Condition: New - New
Condition Note: Brand new and sealed! Platinum Hits version!
Listing ID: ***********
SKU: YO-II72-6823
Quantity: 1
Purchased on: 01/28/2009
Buyer's Price: $64.46
Shipping: $3.99


Not bad considering I paid $10 for it a few months back.

[freund219]

WOW!! It's worth that much???

[Rozz]

Less than a year ago it was worth only around $15. Over the past few months it has gone from $40-$70 sealed (PH or original, both sell for the same amount). I sold one for $50 a little while ago.

[SDC]

Is Tales of Legendia rare? I just picked it up for $20, but then I realized I was thinking of Abyss.

re: Symphony of the Night - I still get $40+ for GH versions, the last complete black version I had went for $60 in only two weeks. Sometimes they sit around for a while, but hey, I'm running a store, not trying to make a "quick buck".

This is assuming complete, and in NM/M condition.


I've seen VERY LITTLE drop in value in ANY game due to a being released again - just b/c the game is available for play - sometimes, the original becomes more valuable.

I bet Chrono Trigger (SNES) isn't dropping in price at all right no.

Yes, it's a fun game, but its far from being rare.

Here's one for you guys:

Heavenly Guardian (PS2)

I know it's a piece of crap title (look at Ultimate Duck Hunting for fuck sakes!), but it only came out on the Wii in Japan and the company who localized it (UFO) ported it to the PS2 in the process. I'm thinking somewhat of a limited run here. Might it be worth just letting it sit for, I don't know, a decade or two? :lol:

Good, eBay will ban you for selling the game. I got two "account suspension" warnings back in the day for selling it. I've avoided it ever since.

I don't think that game is very rare, have seen it floating around. Still, its value lays not in the rarity but in the fact that it has the original arcade game... I would value it at around $15 to $20.

Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes???

[chronodev]

Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes???

I'd say the Twin Snakes is a pretty sought after game. Assuming it's complete with box with instructions, I'd value it at $40 maybe even $50.

[xdl]

I sold three twin snakes in the past few weeks for 25-30 each. They aren't worth 50 or 60 like they once were.

[eastshore4]

Yeah Twin Snakes goes for about $20-30 from my experiences. Back when MGS4 was launching I was able to sell a copy for $65, but since then I've sold two more for $20, and $26 respectively.

Perhaps some folks can offer some suggestions on these;
Legend of Zelda: Adventures of Link(NES) - I came across a cart-only copy in spectacular condition; the ebay selling average shows it going for upwards of $25, but none of the auctions/BINs seem to be fetching that amount.

Graffiti Kingdom: Same deal as Zelda. Average sale price puts it at like $25+, but it's been hard to figure out if it's really worth that much.

I came across a copy of Pikmin 2 for $5 the other day, should I be holding onto it to see if it increases in worth, or is it best to sell now with that wiimake of the original gaining buzz for the series?

Oh, and one more... what's the current going rate for those club nintendo game and watch collections? Still waiting on mine to arrive, and I'm sort of curious as to the worth.

Yeah I don't think the LOZ: Adventures of Link is worth $25 just for the cart alone. Some Ebayers will set a high price and leave the item up for months, and eventually it might sell, but that's not a reliable source for a value of a game.

The NES Rarity Guide (http://www.rarityguide.com/nes_view.php) values the loose game cartridge at $10, might be worth a little more to someone who collects Zelda

[chosen1s]

Agreed. I just searched Ebay and I'm seeing $10 for cart-only. Does the "Ebay average" include new/sealed and "Complete" in its calculations?

I've never heard of the Ebay average, it sounds like a tool I wouldn't be surprised to see Ebay create, but I have not seen it.

If you list something on eBay and use their pre-filled item information, they'll tell you the average selling price of the item based on what the item sold for when other people used the pre-filled item information. They don't distinguish between new and used.

If that's the original FF Tactics, I would snag that, it's worth quite a bit(and a good game). Silent Hill 4 fetches about $20 if I'm correct, outside of that I don't think any of those other titles go for more than $10, so depending on their asking price I would probably hold off if you're buying to collect.

I'll have to double check, but I believe it IS sealed. I picked it up from an FYE in NY state the other day for a penny. :lol:

It was clearly marked 1 cent on the price sticker too, so that made it easier to argue for getting it for a cent if it didn't ring up like that.

I also picked up 2 copies of the guide for Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom for PS3 at the same store. They were also a penny.

Watching the look on the cashier's face when stuff rings up as a cent never gets old.

Everquest Online Adventures (if it isn't "Frontiers") is one of those "don't touch it with a ten foot pole for flipping" games. Even at a penny you might get stuck with it.

Is it rare?!?!?!

[Vinny]

Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2 plus, no manual.

Very rare, though no manual means it loses a bit of value. I think could still get at least $50 for it though.

If anything, I was going to just try and sell it to my one buddies' brother-in-law, since he's into WOW and his family has a PStwo(slim), so maybe they could play it online.

After checking the prices on Ebay, I figure I'd make a bit over what I paid, but it'd be better to just try and sell it offline to him.

[Hydro2Oxide]

Symphonia was a Player's Choice title if Im not mistaken.

I could see Tales of Vesperia becoming rareish. Yeah, I wouldn't trade it in. Im assuming the trade in value is only around $20 or so. In all honesty I don't really ever see it going much below that on ebay or amazon. It might not become rare but it will probably be one of those titles you will always get at least $20 or so for at the very minimum.

[Persona7]

Yeah, Vesperia has held its value and it seems impossible to find in B&M stores unless you go to gamecrazy. I hope they do another reprint and maybe drop the MSRP.

I want to get a sealed backup copy.

It's possible... but not probable. Most Nintendo published DS games hold their value well but most Mario Sports titles don't so it could go either way. I'd guess no since the game sucks and all.

Extremely. 500+ on teh zBay.

Fairly rare, I think. Definetly worth a lot more than 5 bucks.

[phear3d]

vesperia's oop for now, but i think they'll reprint it. theres still a ton of copies floating around you just need to look further. namco does a great job with keeping the high ranked games inprint. its actually a good game and it helped bring back the prices of the old tales games (from GC to PS2, except for tales of phantasia for the gba).

as far as mario hoops for the ds, its been oop since 2007. i dont think it'll go up in value anytime soon since its not that great of a game. maybe in about 2 years when they decide to bring it back. somehow i think some of these older ds titles will be re-released on the dsi marketplace. i could be wrong but there is a big possibility.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

I think I've asked about this one before, but here goes:

Hooligans: Storm Over Europe(PC)

I bought it back before EB got sucked into the abyss known as the EB/GS 'merger' for about $3-5.

The basic premise of the game is you take your band of hooligans to the bar and get them drunk, then proceed to try and cause trouble/riots.

It's a fun family game. :razz:

What's the deal with the Club Nintendo Game & Watch collection? I was looking to sell mine, and when I looked on ebay they all go for @ $30, but they're all the Japanese versions(which from what I understand, you can actually buy the JP version instead of only earning it through points like over here). I noticed someone listed a US version with a starting bid of $40, but I forgot to check on it. Is there any real value for this? It sure was a pain to earn it, so I figured you might get a good amount for it but I could be very wrong.

[pfp]

Looks like Starfox Super Weekend competition is sold for $300, but it doesn't look like anyone's buying it.

MVC2 for dreamcast, is $50.00+/- $10

I assume cartridges are "cartridge only" yet discs are "complete in packaging"

[xverion]

yeah sorry about that didn't specify. MVC is complete in excellent condition, no scratches on disc with instruction book. Starfox only came with the cartridge.

I sold a disc and back artwork only M vs. C 2 for the DC for $45 or so last week. It was either 45 or 54. I think 45 though. Could have put it higher as it only was up for 4 days or so and was bought.

I purchased Jazz Jackrabbit for GBA new and sealed for 7.50 at FYE. I can't find anything on Ebay but a current listing for 69.99 BIN-- still there. No completed listing data for me to see. I assume it's a good pickup though-- opinions?

I believe that game had a very low print run, but it's apparently not in high demand. Kind of like NHL 2002 for GBA.

Hm... interesting... it makes sense, I've never seen the damn thing.

But Jazz Jackrabbit always seemed like a cool game (never played it) so I don't mind getting a classic platformer, even if it's only worth 15ish. Thanks!

There's a difference b/t "rare" and "valuable".

Not that you shouldn't think highly of your collection of valuable games. But there's a difference in rarity of Persona (if I want a copy, there's only 3 on eBay right now) and FF7 black (of which there are over 25 on eBay, and that's only the ones with the word "black" in the title.

Two games in question

Resident Evil 4: Collectors Tin (Game Cube)
Aliens Vs Predator (Jaguar)

Are either of these games rare at all? I know RE4 isn't rare, but I believe the Collectors Tin was. I didn't really know\if they were rare...

[facemeat]

Alright, I know this game is rare, but right now I'm looking for a price on it:
Tomba (disc only, heavily scratched, works fine)
I bought it at a flea market a couple years back for $1. I know it's worth a fair amount, I just don't know what it's worth in that condition.

Tomba seems to be about $70 complete/min - I'd think $40-50 for people who DON'T CARE ABOUT CONDITION/RARITY and just want to play the damned game.

I found my Suikoden IV wall scroll, still sealed, kicking around the other day. Makes me wonder if I have any of the other promo items (coin, book, etc.). Any reason for me to dig around and see if they appear? I can't find any completed auctions except for one wall scroll that isn't the one I have.

It's nice to see someone with a valid question who actually bothered to do some research first... and not see something like "how much is so and so worth!?" for once.

Anyway, the Suikoden IV promos that were given out via a Konami site were pretty rare at one point. I remember seeing the scroll sell for $10-15, the coin sell for ~$30 and the soundtrack for about $10-20. This was a while ago (like the year following the promotion) and the last time I saw these was in an auction with all 3 items that sold for $40 (summer of last year).

I'd think they'd be worth a decent amount of money if you sell them at the right time... like the release of the next big Suikoden game.

Just saw this thread. Whats VGPC?

I can't find any completed auctions except for one wall scroll that isn't the one I have.they go for quite alot when you bundle them with the other freebies it came out with (the coin, and the ost).

Two games in question

Resident Evil 4: Collectors Tin (Game Cube)
they sell for $10-$20 more than they did last year, so about $30-$35. i wouldn't sell it for that much. i have a used copy also and i'll probably hold onto it longer.

Thanks. I'll have to take a look in my box of promo crap I have. I think I saw the coin mixed in with Finny with Fish plushy, Everquest II hat, Pokemon tins, and other odds and ends.

And as far as holding out, that's what I was doing with all my sealed GC Resident Evils, waiting for 5. Too bad it looks like I'm still going to lose $20 or so on the RE4 Gamestop edition.

Rare: PS1 Discworld

DiscWorld isn't extremely rare but it does sell for about $30. There is a longbox version of DiscWorld too, which is more rare.

DiscWorld II is an interesting one (http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/game/playstation/discworld-ii-mortality-bytes). It was selling for about $50 last summer and has steadily dropped almost every month since then and only sells for $30-35 now. Any guesses on why it has dropped in price so steadily?

Any idea what to list it at?

I see a ton of the newer King's Quest Collection on Ebay but not any complete of this older one. It has 7 games plus Mask of Eternity preview. It also includes Colonel's Bequest, Dagger of Amon Ra and Mixed Up Mother Goose.

I see some on Amazon at the $45 price point, but is there any way to tell if there have been any on Amazon that have sold close to that price point?

How rare is the Sony Pocketstation PS1 memory card, got it in a craigslist lot last week. Also anyone know the going rate of a Sealed PS1 Dragon Warrior 7, not too many completed ebay auctions on either

I'd value the sealed Dragon Warrior 7 at $100

not very many of them at the moment. but it was pretty common but people really has no interest in them. but to answer your question ive seen them go from $55 to $70. maybe you could get $100 for them one day just save it if you have it.

A few months ago, I bought a new one for $32.99 off of eBay before shipping.

They're not that common domestically, but they're not that high in demand either. If you've used it, you'll see why. :bouncy:

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a good idea on the worth/rarity of these games using VGPC and Ebay, any suggestions?

I'm trying to sell these:

Classic NES Series: Xevious *CIB* (GBA) - Paid $5.00
Classic NES Series: Ice Climber *NEW/SEALED* (GBA) - Paid $10.00


I saw these at the local game crazy and was interested, but I was curious if they might increase in worth down the line:

Shin Megami Tensei: Raidou vs. the Souless Army *New/Gutted Copy* (PS2) - $35.00
^^^ I heard they're releasing a sequel to this sometime soon, do you think Atlus will issue a reprint or this one will simply go up in price when interest peaks?
Dr. Mario/Puzzle League 2 Pack *NEW/SEALED* (GBA) - $30.00

Those NES Classic games probably won't be going up in value much since they're not really that popular. Mario Bros. seems to be the only one that went up in significant value and even the other popular games (Zelda, Metroid, and Donkey Kong) haven't jumped too much.

Devil Summoner already went up in value a few weeks ago and it's calmed since. I saw complete copies going for ~$60 but the price has dropped since then but still higher than what it used to be before Devil Summoner 2 was announced.

I'm not familiar with the Dr. Mario/Puzzle League double pack. If it's two individual games shinkwrapped together then I'm guessing it's not worth it. But if it's both games in one cart, then I have no idea.

It's 2 games on one cart. The average selling price seems to be around $20.00, but since alot of GBA games are cart-only I'm thinking it might go higher for a complete, sealed copy.

[Frosty The Batman]

Not a game but any thoughts on the Street Fighter gamepads?
I saw the Blanka 360 one at Best Buy and considered picking it up.

*edit, I don't think they're rare now but what I was questioning is will it be?

[lilchubz11]

alundra for the ps1

how much is this going for?check out rarityguide.com for the value of dragon warrior vii. but for alundra, $20 is too much. you can get it for much less on ebay sometimes (you just need to watch alot of auctions). maybe $10 would do. i actually received this as a trade on goozex recently and i cant remember where i put it. lol.

heres a fun fact: alundra has 9 different discs variants. can be found here. (http://www.game-rave.com/psx/playstation_perfect_guide/releasedgames/alundra/index.html)

I'm trying to sell this:

DJ Max Portable 2 Black Orpheus Edition (PSP)

It's out of its original wrapper and has a couple small dings on the package...any idea what this is worth?

[psychofish]

How rare is the Nintendo DS Browser? I know it's discontinued, but is it really that hard to come by? Worth hanging on to?

Anyone answer this? I'm contemplating trading this on GameTZ but whenever I look this up it's worth more than a DS game. But I don't need it and would rather have a game instead...

[phear3d]

ds browser is worth some money. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Nintendo-DS-Browser-Nintendo-DS-Lite-INTERNET-DS-NEW_W0QQitemZ110349134063QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_ Games_Games?hash=item110349134063&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4%7C65%3A16%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318)

but i think they have one of the DSi built in so the value could go down. im not sure but we'll find out once it comes out. its probably a good time to sell though

[MidnightMarauder74]

I've got Lunar Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar Eternal Blue Complete for PS1. It's been opened but all the goodies are there. I took extreme care of both games. They are close to being new. Any ideas on how much each are? I really liked both games so I'm pretty sure I'll hang onto them.

If you mean "worth hanging onto" from an investment standpoint, I couldn't start to answer that. It's higher now than it's been in some time though.

If you mean from a "using it" standpoint - that thing is a monumental failure. I had one "complete", tried to use it thinking I could probably gain some value out of it, and it was such a headache I took it straight to Ebay and never thought about it again until now :)

I know there are a few other games that did that and some of the art is considered valuable. Any idea what I'm talking about?

Thanks for the response! I checked out your website. Pretty informative!

On RarityGuide.com, I found out that I have 3 of the top 4 rarest Saturn games:

Panzer Dragoon Saga (I remember buying this at TRU at the very end of the Saturn's run and not having a clue as to how limited the copies were!)
Shining Force III
Guardian Force

All 3 were bought brand new. I opened and played with all of them but they are all CIB and M/NM condition.

Should I sell? Probably not cuz I love my Saturn collection!

[Shady3011]

Yeah. I wouldn't if you plan to keep your Saturn around. You most likely won't see those again.

[neiname]

Not that it's all that rare but I have a Xenosaga III hologram edition on PS2 (I think it was Best Buy or Gamestop exclusive), is it worth anymore than the normal $15-25 I would get for any CIB Xenosaga III?

[Doomstink]

I would value them at $100 each

Little too high.

You'll actually get around $55.00 for the first one and around $75.00 for the second. I sold both a couple months back for those prices.

That would depend on how hardcore the Xenosaga fanbase is. There's one on eBay right now at $49.99, but who knows if there is any fans hardcore enough to pay that much for it.

I'd recommend listing it as a limited edition instead of a hologram edition. Limited edition sounds classier and more rare, might lure in more unsuspecting buyers/hardcore fans/completionists.
