The "Is This Game Rare?" Thread

[PooperScooper1900]

I always have these types of questions and I havent seen a thread, so I decided to make one.

I am wondering about is The Guy Game on XBOX. My EB has about 3 sealed ones (not guts) and I've heard that this game is rare, but I've also heard that its not.

I am also wondering about Irritating Stick on PSX, a mom and pop store by me also has like 4 sealed copies of it for 5 bucks each.

Thanks!

[Vinny]

No and no.

[phreak5k]

I believe the guy game is rare because one of the girls in it is actually underage, making it child pornography. It should have been pulled from shelves, but I could be wrong but that's what I've heard.

I found a PS2 copy at Blockbuster for $5, picked it up and sold it on Amazon for $30.

[Persona7]

No.

[bigdaddybruce44]

How much is the The Guy Game at EB?

$20 used for the PS2 version. The Xbox version is no longer listed, not even when you search backordered items. I'm surprised this is in their system at all. It even says there are PS2 copies in my area.

Silent Hill 3, is it rare?

Silent Hill 3, is it rare?

[georox]

If yours has Xbox guy games sealed, lemme know how much they are. I've been looking for a copy to add to my collection of "Games that should not be."

edit - just read he said xbox, how much are they there?

If the OP can get his Gamestop to part with em cheap I'm still interested. TBH if any of the employees don't care, its probably out of the system so he could get away with it somewhat.

Just because it isn't on the website doesn't mean it's 'not in the system'.

Anyway, best I can recall, it was around $17.99 the last time I saw one used at a GS, so I'd imagine it's still hanging around that range. Though, if they're sealed and considered 'new', they may be more.

[Bavgate]

How about Rez on the PS2? Rare at all?

[freakyzeeky]

Okay, here's a serious one....

How about Shenmue Limited Edition w/Passport & Soundtrack?

How about Shenmue Limited Edition w/Passport & Soundtrack?

It's fairly rare, as it was just limited to pre-orders. Tt doesn't hold much value though. I have it and enjoy it.

Rez, no, not really. My GC has had 3 or 4 used copies for many, many months. A sealed one could pull some cash, but otherwise, nah.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

I believe the guy game is rare because one of the girls in it is actually underage, making it child pornography. It should have been pulled from shelves, but I could be wrong but that's what I've heard.

That's what happened, from what I remember hearing about this game. I own it myself(one of the only games I have left for the XBox)and I find it hilarious that a game like that was released.

But what happened with the girl was that she 1) used a fake ID to get into the bar where she also 2) signed a waiver form allowing the use of ANY video with her in it on the game.

Of course, who really should get in trouble for this? If you ask me, the game company should've SUED HER for falsely representing herself, instead of the other way around, since she was the one there illegally in the bar.

She and her family sued over the footage and that's why this game is so controversial in some peoples opinions. Even funnier was that some sites reported that her parents even paid for breast implants for her, so how wacked is that family to begin with?

[buffdrew84]

ive seen 2 copies of the guy game on ps2 locally at a blockbuster for 15 a piece that i almost bit on because i thought they were rare.
oh and also


how about secret of evermore, illusion of gaia, megaman x, and tales of the abyss?

[Antic]

I'd say no to all of them. The SNES games fetch between 4-7 dollars, and abyss is in the 40's currently.

[raregamergirl]

Last time I remember seeing the guy game new at gamestop, it was $35 or so new.

Shenmue LE is obscure. Not rare, but not common. Worth around $30 or so.

[Slim Gatsby]

how about secret of evermore, illusion of gaia, megaman x, and tales of the abyss?

With the exception of Secret of Evermore ($15), the rest of the SNES games go for about $7 each...Tales of the Abyss is a weird one; its price has fluctuated like crazy. It was as high as $50 used to a low of $30 new; it seems like its stabilizing out to about $30-40ish used now.

[StarKnightX]

theres always digital press. they keep a running database of rarity and approximite prices for older games. based off there advanced guide that I have :

secret of evermore - $12 , Rarity 2 (common)
megaman X - $8 , Rarity 1 (common)
illusion of gaia - $12 , Rarity 1 (common)

If anyone else has any game rarity requests for anything Pre-PS2 generation , ask me and I'll check it in my guide.

I don't like digital press because they put a lot of emphasis on "test, one ofs, and non official" games as the "rarest".... it doesn't lend much to "quality vs rarity"..

like for me.. I can't find Earthbound on the SNES.. i can find pretty much any other game worth playing on it but that one..

heres a question.. since the xbox 360 has now been out a few years, are there any "rare" games for it?.. i only ask because I was just curious and I hadn't heard about too many "hard to find" games for it.

[PooperScooper1900]

Is the guy game harder to get on any platform because MVC2 is much harder on ps2 than it is xbox.

[raregamergirl]

The only "rare" games so far on the 360 are Transformers Cybertron edition and the T for Teen Collector's Edition of Oblivion.

Even then, neither is valuable, just somewhat rare.

what about bioshock LE?

[SkeletonBrute]

I have a game that I want to know if it is RARE, hard to find etc...

Wanderers from YS III on the SNES, I have it, took it to GS a few years back with a boatload of other games, they would not take it, said it was not in their system.

I enjoyed the game quite a bit, and decided to keep it after all. I think I still have the box for it as well. Anyone know how rare that title is?

Thanks!

I can understand that frustration , but from a collector's perspective , what's going to be the most valuable? Prototypes , demos and short print titles. For perspective on earthbound , it's listed as going for about $25 and is a rarity 2. Considering that so many people can't find the game anywhere , I'd simply chalk that up to anyone that has the game doesn't want to give it up.

Honestly , I don't use the Digital Press guides as a be all resource , but it's a helpful resource for stuff that may or may not be valuable. For example , out of my entire 100+ PS1 collection , only a handfull of titles I have are listed as being a Rarity 4 or higher.

Y's III : The Wanderes from Y's - $10 , Rarity 3 (less common)

Edit : to be more specific with the rarity listing , rarity 3 is said to be "findable through the proper channels , hard to find on the street , but fairly common online.

[raregamergirl]

Bioshock LE is also obscure, not as rare as the other two but not common either. The difficult thing with Bioshock is that placed like gamestop dont take the entire set used, so it is one of those titles where you have to buy it new or not at all.

[mitchondria]

how about a nes version of prince of persia still in box (not sealed)

[PooperScooper1900]

The Bioshock LE is Rare depending on what you have. If it is 100% and i mean everything but the shrink wrap it gets about 80, prices only go down from there.

Prince of Persia - $5 , Rarity 4 (Uncommon) The kinds of items you have to look for but are always within reach.

It should be noted that the $5 price (as well as the prices for all of the above games mentioned by me) is for "game only" no box or manual. Price will most likely be higher with box and or manual but YMMV.

[apokalipze2]

is pikmin 2 rare?

[Gamedefeater]

What about Suikoden Tactics w/ soundtrack?

[Otherguy676]

I think games are also regional, for example I hit up 3 Earthbounds in a month period (never paid over $15/copy, 1 complete w/ guide). I did the same thing for 3 Secret of Manas (never over $6/copy, 2 compltete). On the other end of the spectrum, I haven't seen a SNES Ogre Battle in years in the area and the Lufia's have been pretty elusive. When I went up north, certain "rare" games were easier to find in the wild, while the ones I see a lot in my area were not seen.

I used digitpress a lot, however, they really need to update. Some of the older games are becoming more scarce, and some of the values need to go up. I just lucked into a US Version of Alex Kidd in Shinobi Land and I think digit Press is way off on value, but right on rarity (R7).

[freakyzeeky]

I had a complete boxed copy of Sim Ant that sold for $35ish on teh eBay... I want to the thrift store last year,and it was just there behind the glass.

I think it was an R4 at Digipress...

Samba de Amigo maracas, (original) boxed? Is it rare?

[dracula]

well the 3rd party ones are easy enough to find cheap on ebay, the first party maracas go for very good money.

[georox]

I think games are also regional, for example I hit up 3 Earthbounds in a month period (never paid over $15/copy, 1 complete w/ guide).

eBay isn't regional though, and generally when people are buying/bidding at high prices and it isn't getting lower, its safe to say its kinda rare.

One game i'm surprised wasn't rare: growlanser deluxe edition. The final product produced by the minds at Working Designs :cry:.

With tax, I paid about 100$ for this sucker. I see it going for ~50ish sealed. However, I have no regrets as buying that game was my moment of enlightenment...That's when I learned to be a cheapass :).

Digital Press Ranking and Titles >3 for Xbox,PS2, (GC,360,GBA,PS3,Wii,NDS,PSP) show none >3
* R0: Titles listed with a rarity of zero are simply games that were never released or require more research on our side. You’ll see this listed on ALL “Rumor Mill” entries.
* R1: These are the items you can find or BUY anywhere. When you find a bunch of games, these WILL be in the pile.
* R2: You can find these titles just about anywhere, too, but they’re slightly less common, perhaps in certain areas.
* R3: You’ll find these items through the proper channels (other collectors!), not as common “on the street”, but fairly common on the internet.
* R4: Things get a little harder here, as a title rated as such could have a lower production run, or other factors that pull it out of the common bin, but nowhere near rare. You can start calling titles from herein UNCOMMON.
* R5: The hunt begins. Five are the kinds of item you have to look for, but definitely always in reach.
* R6: If you see a six or greater, at least one of us had a problem finding the title. You call this VERY UNCOMMON if you so desire, or BORDERLINE RARE.
* R7: RARE. A true collectible! Sevens and up represent the “hardest” 25% of the games listed in this Guide.
* R8: We consider these the items you’ll never find by chance (except in those legendary lucky finds!). There are a few eights in this Guide that we haven’t gotten our grubby little hands on... yet.
* R9: The centerpiece of a collection make up the nines. If you ever hope to BUY one of these, prepare to write out a big check.
* R10: Not only is this the centerpiece of a collection, but a ten also means you could be holding a one-of-a-kind (certainly one of no more than a dozen or so) there - kind of like owning a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, or Issue #1 of DC’s Action Comics.

Of that List I only have my sealed Metal Gear Limited which I got via buy it now at 69.99 New from ebay.

The Rarity guide imo is a decent system to compare with as it compares printing for Rarity. Another expensive game I have is Suikoden II (R3), but there are many more copies of that than Metal Gear Substistence Limited (R5) on ebay. And for comparing market Demand Value for (Available Rarity) there is always ebay completed auctions. :)

Note some games still are not represented in their system ie RE 4 Gamestop SE: which had a 48k run and is not rated.

And Collectors may skew marketed rare titles such as

I traded my copy of Secret of Mana for Earthbound (and the guide as well). I got Lufia II by trading in a Square (maybe Enix) racing game and some PS2 surfing game awhile back. I don't regret the trade for Earthbound, but I've been dying to play Secret of Mana again. I wish I could find another copy for cheap. I've had a lot of bad luck buying cartridges that sometimes lose saves when I take them out of my SNES. I'm really not sure if it's my system or the games though.

[urzishra14]

I have those xbox outlaw games.. they were like cheapo at blockbuster when I first got my system and said "hey what the heck?"

I realize I could just "go to ebay" but the thing about sometimes when we are talking about "rare" games is the MAJORITY of them you do not want to play EVER. especially the NES rare games.. most of them are just garbage which is exactly why they are so "rare" because they weren't good products to begin with..

when they are good product and the reason for rarity is a legitimate reason i can see .. (usually late in the console cycle gems, like Earthbound or a company went out of business or lost the license .. the only 2 i can think of are Baulder's gate dark alliance 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 2.. ) some that are a little more "uncommon" are the Lucas Arts Jedi Knight sequels.. they didn't get a proper print run and so they are little bit harder to track down but definately doable if you keep an eye out..

but for the majority of us out here we really just have really common games maybe a few "niche" uncommon games and once in a few of us have the really rare titles.. but really sometimes there is a resaon why they are rare.. they just plain suck.

EDIT: to the guy above me having problems with saves on old cartridges..

you probably need to change the battery in the games themselves.. go to the "old school" forum of this website and it should be a sticky at the top of the page on how to do this. it'll save you lots of hassle.

[cdrober]

Ok, I got a serious question too.

How about "Railfan" for PS3, either Japanese, Asian, or Korean version. I've been wanting to get this game (wanted the Densha De Go! games in the past but never bit on one), but was wanting to find it for $30. Now I'm seeing it getting all sold out or remaining at the $60+ pricepoint.

For anyone currently in Japan or Hong Kong: Are they plentiful there? I'm seeing used copies on ebay for $60, is this what you are seeing in your respective areas?

I still don't want to have to pay $70 w/ shipping or there abouts....but I also don't want to miss out on my chance to own it....

Just to clarify, I'm only talking about the original, not the Taiwanese High Speed Rail version.

Thanks for anyone that can help me out on this.

[monkeydeew]

sealed gears collector's edition?

[jousley]

A game that Im surprised that is already going up in value...used copies already going for over the retail price: Ace Combat 6 with Flight stick. I got one on launch and its SOO much fun.

Samba de Amigo maracas, (original) boxed? Is it rare?

I picked up a set of the official ones @ EB back in the day for $50 around the time they started sky-rocketing on eBay. Not sure what the deal is in the US nowadays, but over here in Japan I just saw a set of the official SEGA ones (Japanese version) for 100 yen, or under 1 dollar!
I'm unsure if they were in working condition or not. I would've picked em up but I didn't really have much time and I was heading to a club later on so I didn't want to be carrying around a big box of plastic maracas. :lol:

Sealed Stubbs the Zombie for xbox worth anything?

A SEALED copy might be, someday, but I know I had 2 copies at one point and aside from being worth $7-8 at FYE, they were worth crap otherwise.

The game was repetitive but fun, but once you completed it there was no real reason to play through it again. I bought it for $35-40 from Blockbuster new and enjoyed it, due to the nostalgia factor. However, even on the cover of the game, it was hailed as 'the zombie game with the Halo engine', just not in those words.

NCAA is the rarest game on Gamecube, production numbers wise. It's worth nothing since people don't really care.

Until I got a PS2, I, being a huge college basketball fan, had to track it down and picked it up used at a GameStop. Even though I paid $20, it was totally worth it for me.

[cranguy]

Do you think Valkyrie Profile Lenneth for PSP will be rare in the future?
I would bet yes on that. Square stopped printing it awhile ago. It's maintained a consistent used price (~$25) and I've sold a few sealed ones in the $50-$60 range.

^^^ that is funny for the valkyrie profile, and i guess it is probably true: it is out of print as as the PSP sells more and more systems over the next 5 years or so, then the # of people who want it will go up, but the number of copies out there will stay the same since it is OOP. so it could sell for silly money.

Ones I'm curious about (all are first pressings; no "greatest hits" versions):

Sega Genesis
------------------
Ys III (Genesis)

Sega CD
-----------
Lunar: The Silver Star
Lunar: Eternal Blue

Sony Playstation
---------------------
Persona
Persona 2
Suikoden
Xenogears
Final Fantasy Tactics
Lunar: Silver Star Story
Lunar: Eternal Blue Complete
Arc the Lad Collection (This one's sentimental, as I ran a petition for it b4 WD got it)
King's Field (back when they used the big cases)
Ogre Battle
Tobal 2 (Japan)

[1SwtDeception]

pretty sweet thread!

can you list the various Shin Megami Tensei series rarity levels?
Nocturne, Personas, Digital Devil Sagas... thanks!

I think Nocturne is the rarest, next is Digital Devil Saga 1, Persona 3? or maybe 2..

For DDS2, that's a common thing, maybe more uncommon.


At least that's what I think and my going to those two GS threads constantly.

I think the Persona series is worth something. The same with the Lunar series, but I'm not too sure on that one. I have it all completed as well, but I don't think it's too sought after.

Suikoden is pretty rare the same goes for Arc the Lad (not too sure on this).

The rest I'm not too sure. I'm tempted to say they're inbetween an uncommon and a rare..

I feel like a collector answering this even..

check the closed auctions on ebay. dds 1 goes for a little over $110 if it is complete with everything mint. If it is just game, disc and manual it goes for $75. New it is about $150 to $175

http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&dfsp=1&catref=C6&guest=1&from=R10&_trksid=m37&satitle=digital+devil&sacat=1249%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=90049&sabfmts=1&saobfmts=insif&fis=2&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D2&fgtp=

Nocturne goes for about that as well, $75 to $95 ish as well

persona 3 is apparently already rare, it goes for $65 new on ebay

persona 1 goes for a lot of money for some reason about $55 complete or $30 disc only.

. It is by far my least favorite, it plays more like dragon warrior 1, if there was any way to avoid the battles every 4 steps it would be awesome

devil summoner and dds 2 go for about $20 each

persona 2 is apparently going for $50 complete

[aquateenfan]

is yoshi for the nes with orignal manual and packaging worth anything?
also earthbound for snes. i played through it once i got it at a yardsale when i was like 10 for a dollar.

I think this thread is *for* collectors :) I'm missing some that used to be part of my collection:


Saturn - Dragon Force, Magic Knight Rayearth, Albert Odyssey, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force III, Fighting Vipers & Grandia LE (I still have part of the packaging).

[buffdrew84]

who would ever, ever give up earthbound, obviously you can tell im a fan. i remember buying it brand new in that huge box a babages near my house. greatest game of all time. i seriously would not sell it even if someone offer 200 bucks for it, but thats just me. I should say that i have never played chrono trigger but wouldnt shell out the money for it considering i dont know if i would like it

Wow, is EB rare now? I remember when it came out me and my best friend (we were both big RPG nuts) thought it was God awful! My only interest in the NES version was because I was in the romhacking scene at the time, and that we were calling it Earthbound 0 since part 2 was our part 1.

Anyway, I maintain that EB still sucks ;P

[Ski Hawk]

How rare is Ar Tonelico complete with artbook and soundtrack?

[reicaden]

Here are a few I'm curious about:

PS2:
-Metal Gear Solid:Subsistence 3 (sealed)
-Baldurs Gate:Dark Alliance 2 (sealed)
-Tales of Legendia
-FF:Tactics (Greatest Hits)
-Valk Prof Silmeria
-Atielier iris 3: Grand Phantasm (sealed)

Sega Genesis:
-Gunstar Heroes
-Comix Zone

I mean, I can see the prices on Ebay, but Im not sure if thats just weird inflation, or typical rarity.

Thanks for the input guys, by the way, I'm sure all of us appreciate you all charing your expertise in the area of rare games :)

Anyone know how much Final Fantasy X, black label and sealed, is worth? Because I picked it up at five bucks at a fleamarket today to play it, only to find out that it's going for $250+ on eBay Buy it Now. :D

Thats kind of a funny statement you make and can stand strong with arguments for games are to expensive nowdays. If you were old enough to buy games on your own in the NES,SNES,Genesis era you would know games were alot more expensive back then.

I think I remember Phantasy Star IV retailing at gamestores for $90.00. Hell I even paid $75 for Chrono Trigger when it first came out at Bestbuy. If anyone remember's the game Genghis Kahn (maybe typo) which I think was the birth game for the Romance of the three kingdoms games for NES I think that retailed at around $80. Either way back then retailers would slap all kinds of random prices on games and us or our parents would shell out for them, but today people do not want to pay those prices anymore unless is a LE version or something. Me personally I would not pay those prices anymore.

Wish i had bought it black label... all i could find was GH though, when i looked for it :(

[schuerm26]

i think ncaa college basketball 2k3 is really rare... smn not so much, it just sucks

I sold a sealed 2k3 for $152 sometime last year.

[Chitown021]

One I hung onto that I thought might be rare one day was Tiger Woods 99 for the PS1. If I remember correctly they recalled the initial release because it had a file on the disc with the whole first episode of South Park.


EDIT: I'm curious about Yoshi Touch n Go and KIrby Canvas Curse for the DS.

[dios]

I have a sealed Ar Tonelico
Sealed original pikmin
Sealed RE4 Premium Edition for ps2
Played one time MGS 3 Sub : LE with everything.
Sealed FF12 SE * lol? *
xbox360 zero hour faceplate * used it a few times *

anyone know if this stuff is worth money? should i keep them in storage for a bit longer?

[Dr Mario Kart]

Everything but the FF12 is going to be worth big money. But wait till Q4 for maximum damage. Dont know anything about face plates.

wait.. FFX on PS2? no way it goes for $250+... I had a black label and sold for only like $15 as did all the other ones..sealed or not that's high.

I just saw the auction, yeah that is NOT going to be sold trust me. A greatest hits sealed went for $10.. you can probably guess how much a black label will go.

Forgot to add i also have a played one time Elder Scrolls : Oblivion Collectors Edition for xbox 360 with the Misprint Teen rating on it.

You mean you saw an auction for it with a BIN of $250 or you actually saw a completed listing that ended at $250? Just because a moron lists it for $250 doesn't mean anything... other than the seller being a moron. A sealed, black label copy gets $50+ but I never saw one going that high. But prices fluctuate too much too follow. Opened copies aren't worth shit.

[aznguyen316]

it's at 249.99 buy it now, not purchased.. couldn't find one purchased.. except two GH sealed one at $10 another at $15 lol.. $250 HA

1-3 go for a good amount of ebay if they're complete and on PS2. You could net around $150 for the trio

Back with the original playstation I would kinda agree with the argument against the "ugly" GH packaging. Whoever thought a green label on a black case looked good is an idiot. Nowadays though I think the PS2 GH red label and the Xbox PH label actually look a bit better than the regular packaging of the games.

As far as being better , if the GH version of the game plays better than the Non-GH version I'm all for it.

I think it's great that many people are anal about non-GH games, because then it's easier to pick up the GH games on the cheap and sell the non-GH ones for more than they're worth.

This situation's good for both sides. 8-)

That's because Earthbound isn't a queer purple spiky hair anime "lol i haf sword" Japanese RPG, but rather a wiity and clever non-anime game that truly captures humor more than gameplay like none other.

[Chitown021]

Ok folks this isn't a thread for debating the black label vs GH or whether Earthbound is a good game. Keep the thread on track.

ar tonelico - yes, it sells for $100+
original pikmin sealed - yes, its easily worth $80+
re4 premium - not anymore, the wii version killed its rarity (it used to sell $90-$150 new)
mgs3s le - it is but you should have kept it sealed, worth $250+
ff12le - it depends on the buyer. if you sell it with the le guide it could go upto $100. but other than that probably less than it was sold for at when it was released.

[Vinny]

Uhoh... it came pre-opened :O

This thread reminds me to troll harder. But, do people on eBay/here care if the disc artwork is damaged?

I've sold games with permanent markers and some scratches on the artwork side... they usually end a bit under average. But something like that... I think might scare potential buyers depending on how anal they were about the condition. Shouldn't hurt the value too much though as some people might just want a copy for their collection, regardless of condition.

[Scorch]

Misprints.. I have a misprinted Saint's Row, but it's not worth anything. In our first shipment, I noticed it. I hate how "gangsta" the box looks with the shiny shit on it, and this misprinted one is awesome. It's the same cover, but instead of shiny letters with black outline, it's black letters with a shiny outline. Check it.

Normal, shiny one:

Monster Kingdom Jewel Summoner for the PSP, is it rare, valuable?
i would grab it when i see it if i were you. specially since they sell them at gamestops for $17.99 used, $19.99 new (good luck). i dont think anyone took that title seriously.

Really? I have my sealed FFXII "LE" + sealed LE guide. They were selling for about $120 at launch, and I'd be surprised if they still went for that much.
there was one that i was watching recently for $100.

i was one of the people who were suckered into thinking it was actually "limited" so i preordered it and bought at launch. it was selling more than $100 but only for about a week of its release. this isnt really much of a limited edition release since they had 10-20 upto 30 copies at GS's across the country.

with misprints, you have to hold onto them for a long time. SR is probably worth $20 used and i dont think anyone would really care too much for a misprint version. if it was sealed maybe.

[SaraAB]

Yeah, I am gonna get the monster hunter if I see it, following usual gamestop rules, if its not complete I don't buy it. I just got VP there for 24.99 + edge, complete and like new, dunno if thats good or not but seemed fair to me as ebay prices can be high for that game, and its getting hard to find.

It's a pretty decent game, IMO worth the $20. I'm playing through it n ow.

[aznguyen316]

it was said earlier in the thread that "rare" games on 360 include Oblivion CE T for Teen. I have a sealed one.. you think sometime in the future this will be worth anything? B/c I'm tempted to open it to check out the extras lol

I would advise against that. If you absolutely have to check out the extras, I'd go with selling the sealed copy and buying a used one for cheaper.

[Guy Mockingdale]

I have a copy of the import Final Fantasy Collection(ff iv,v,vi japanese). It's no longer sealed, but I have all the parts... but my box got owned(corner heavily damaged) in a move. wonder if it still worth anything or every was...

All my discs though are signed by Amano, and he drew a Moogle on the cd portion of the case.

[NismoZZzz]

Granted I feel it might not be worth anything in the future:

Age of Empires III Collector's Edition sealed
World of Warcraft: Bruning Crusade Collector's Edition



And the one I know that will sell:

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence Limited Edition sealed.

[endlessPRO]

looks like Tetris DS is rare atm since they are selling $50+ on ebay.

[StarKnightX]

Got a question for everyone that just popped into my head while I was doing some spring cleaning in my place.

I think we can all agree that having the box/case and manual for a game will definatly increase it's value , but what about accessories? I've kept the boxes for many different controllers and other stuff that I've bought over the years and just wondered if the boxes and instructions for accessories affected the price of them in the same way they do for games.

I would think not if only for the fact that the secondary market for accessories is much smaller than for the games themselves , combined with the fact that most controllers and stuff come in the plastic shells now instead of boxes , which really aren't saveable.

[Vinny]

Kinda makes me wish i bought extra copies of kingdom hearts 1 and 2 when they hit 19.99 so i can put them away for later. bah. dems the breaks.

Nah, that's just a waste. I can tell you that's probably not true in most cases. I stopped opening my games a few years back until I actually got around to playing them. I still have a ton of sealed PS2/XB/GC games and almost all of them are barely worth more than a used copy.

Got a question for everyone that just popped into my head while I was doing some spring cleaning in my place.

I think we can all agree that having the box/case and manual for a game will definatly increase it's value , but what about accessories? I've kept the boxes for many different controllers and other stuff that I've bought over the years and just wondered if the boxes and instructions for accessories affected the price of them in the same way they do for games.

I would think not if only for the fact that the secondary market for accessories is much smaller than for the games themselves , combined with the fact that most controllers and stuff come in the plastic shells now instead of boxes , which really aren't saveable.

Most accessories usually aren't highly sought after... so they have no value. This is especially true for controllers as there's tons of them out there and most people don't care to have the box for their controllers.

There are rare and valuable accessories though... the SuperScope and R.O.B. are two examples and having the boxes/manuals for those do increase values.

[aznguyen316]

I would advise against that. If you absolutely have to check out the extras, I'd go with selling the sealed copy and buying a used one for cheaper.

advice heeded.. just ended up keeping my regular edition oblivion to use to play and the CE is just sittin in my game collection

I'm hoping the Sears near me will clearance the Non-GH copies of KH II they have. I played and beat the game but I would like to get it back on the cheap to put back in my collection.

A Kmart near me had two copies of KHII non-GH for $20. I saw it randomly one day and picked it up... I saw that the other one was still there a few weeks back... wondering if I should pick that one up too.:-k

Is Persona 3 going to retain its lucrativeness now that FES has been announced?

[RSGames]

Is Persona 3 going to retain its lucrativeness now that FES has been announced?

Factory sealed & mint copies with the box, artbook, and soundtrack will.

[phear3d]

it was said earlier in the thread that "rare" games on 360 include Oblivion CE T for Teen. I have a sealed one.. you think sometime in the future this will be worth anything? B/c I'm tempted to open it to check out the extras lol
for a game thats $20 now i dont think you want to do that.

Found more to put on the list o.o

Resident Evil 2 gamecube sealed
Resident Evil 3 gamecube sealed
Resident Evil CV:X gamecube sealed
God of war Black label sealed
Elder Scrolls 4 oblivion CE with Teen rating xbox 360
Castlevania Anniversary Box of goodies that game with Potrait of Ruin.
since the reprinting of RE2/3 for the GC the value of those are no more than $30 (sometimes youre lucky to sell them sealed at that price). RECVX is still pretty rare sealed. probably around $70-$80 (and like always, it usually depends on the buyer and the day you end the auction).

as for GoW original, the value went down. right before the launch of the 2nd game it was selling for $80-$100 (i was on a hunt for it myself). now its half of that. maybe in a year or so it'll get high again. remember that this game is a million seller game.. it'll take time to for the value to rise up again. but it might change since GoW3 is coming maybe this year or next.

the castlevania anniversary promo freebie is rare. i have an incomplete copy but still really nice.. hold onto it much longer.

Is Persona 3 going to retain its lucrativeness now that FES has been announced?
i think it will since the game wasn't even in print for more than 5 months (i think they only printed it once imo). i think atlus held onto their copies to sell it faster then redistributed the remaining a few months later. one should consider that possibly closer to 1/3 of the copies sold are being kept sealed for collection and auction purposes.

[evilomar]

I think most of my rare games come from my Sega CD and Sega Saturn. I've got all the Working Design titles, however....I can't seem to find my copy of Dragon Force anywhere. Wonder how much that goes for.

I am also looking for Keio Flying Squadron on the Sega CD, I haven't seen that on eBay in years.

So here are my rarest games I own (these are all complete and in great condition):

Radiant Silvergun
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Snatcher (which I am giving to a friend for his Metal Gear Collection)
Rondo of Blood

So are these still rare?


I remember seeing so many rare games as clearence items and because I already owned them I always passed them up.

Suikoden 2 for 5.50 at Target
Shining Force 3 for 10 bucks at Wal-mart
Secret of Mana for $3.95 at Heck's

[aznguyen316]

Is Persona 3 going to retain its lucrativeness now that FES has been announced?

I'll let you know in a few hours. I put my complete but used copy on eBay the day FES was officially announced and it's at $42 now.. I prob won't get the $60 range of previous auctions but people are paying the worth of the soundtrack and art book at the least.

oh and this is only a 3 day auction.

[dios]

Oh i just remembered i have a sealed Shenmue 2 on xbox non platinum hits. i dont know if its worth anything * cant find sealed copies on ebay or amazon, and used ones go up for around 24.99. * i just wanted it because i liked the game when i played it.

[bigdaddybruce44]

I think sealed copies of Persona 3 should remain pretty high. Opened copies might still fetch a decent amount, due to the extras, but it obviously won't be a DDS1 or Nocturne situation, where people are playing obscene amounts for opened copies, often without the extra content.

for 7 bucks i'd buy it for myself if it were complete...however i don't think it's worth too much though, i used to see these all the time at gamestop. i think last time i checked they went for max 25 or 30 on ebay though you may want to check.

Metal Warriors (http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/game/super-nintendo/metal-warriors) sells for about $52 on average on eBay, Amazon, and Half. According to VideoGamePriceCharts.com. Your mint copy should be worth a pretty good more than this because it is the average price.

Damn I wish I would've hung onto my copy for awhile longer. I sold it several years ago for $100. Right after the Saturn died I picked up all of the last wave games at TRU on clearance. I got Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, House of the Dead, and Magicknight Rayearth. They're all now long gone from my collection.

[jousley]

I have owned 4 different copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga, but each time, the value tempted me to sell them. Still wish I had kept one.

I know where this game is going this weekend. ;)

[Vinny]

Is Wild Arms 5 sealed in the cardboard box thingy worth anything/might be in the future

No, it has little potential really. The Wild Arms series doesn't have a cult esque following to ensure high collector value. But who knows, in the future it might.

I'm surprised Persona 3 hasn't plummeted yet.. there's been a slight drop but people are still paying insane amounts for sealed copies.

[jjgames]

Is Wild Arms 5 sealed in the cardboard box thingy worth anything/might be in the future

Right now Wild Arms 5 (http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/game/playstation-2/wild-arms-5) isn't worth a ton, $29, but a sealed copy might be worth a decent amount down the road judging by the chart and the fact that it is a niche RPG. Those are almost always worth more to collectors. Vinny is right though, it is not as popular of a series but sometimes that helps the value.

Tales of the abyss is very common right now. Seald stuff goes mid 30's. Check your local walmarts. Some still have them and they are $19.99

Alundra 2 isn't rare or valuable at all.

The $50 auction is difficult to explain. It might be worth about that much sealed, but complete copies don't seem to go for more than $10-15. I guess it was just an anomaly or maybe the result of schill bidding.

[freakyzeeky]

I asked earlier in the week if Metal Warriors was rare, and learned that it was... My complete copy just sold on eBay for a whopping $168!!! :D

Alundra 2 for ps1?
i think the problem with alundra 2 is that it was published by activision, not Working Designs. its silly to think that the value of the game is based on its publisher.. but if you compare their review scores with each other they're not that far. i dunno why WD didnt pick this title.

I think WD wasn't happy with the direction of Alundra 2... I mean, WD always published old school, niche games but Alundra 2 looked and played more like your typical 3D RPG.

Oh, and Alundra 2 sucked compared to Alundra.;)

I know it won't be super rare or anything, but what about the value of Suikoden III for the original print run? It seems there's some difference with if a security seal/strip being present on the first batch vs later editions. I don't really know anything about it...I bought the game at launch and still have a sealed copy because I wound up playing my roommate's copy before having to decide whether I wanted to keep the game or not. If I could just get my original 50$ back on ebay, I would be thrilled.

Same with Growlanser Deluxe, except I paid 100$ for that archaic collection...only time I've ever been let down by a Working Designs product. If only I had known my first college roommate was going to wind up being a hardcore gamer way back when...

suikoden 3 is worth around 30 bucks. i dont think theres any difference between the reprint. its too bad the value of that game went down. i remember it being one of the first rare games ive sold on ebay (sold it for $76 when it was hard to find). growlanser generations is worth around 30-40 for the game itself. so maybe 50 bucks for the deluxe set. even the sealed deluxe doesn't sell for much. it was before heritage war came out (fetching for $100+) but since that game was crap the value went down.

[sp00ge]

Not mega-rare, but I managed to snag Pikmin 2 and Suikoden 4 for $8 each the other night at Family Video. I know Pikmin 2 goes for a bit, but I'm holding onto this one.

I have to disagree with the Growlanser Generations price you gave. All the data I have shows the Deluxe version sells for about $70+ (http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/game/playstation-2/growlanser-generations-deluxe-pack). The last ebay sale was for $81.60. It has come down from $100 sure, but is still quite expensive.

yeah $70 for a SEALED version. not a complete, used one (i think he was referring to a used one he had). but its not that much expensive considering it came out awhile ago. this retailed at $60. $20 profit isnt as much unless you got it dirt cheap. its going to take awhile for it to be expensive again. unless they release a good sequel.

i wish your site would filter out sealed versions. because sometimes they sell for more. when you have a game like Super Mario for the NES selling for not even $3, then a sealed version would sell for as much as $300.

Oh, absolutely. There are tons of titles that are common and cheap used, but fetch a massive amount when sealed.

I completely agree that we should separate out the prices for new games and used games. We are currently working on ways to do this and have it on a long line of improvements we want to make.

The site gives a great baseline though for almost every game though. I hope to be able to have two different prices available to people though in the near future so it is even more helpful.

in a way dont you think it makes the pricing for used/complete/mint or whatever copies inaccurate (just a tiny bit at least). i absolutely love vgchart (http://videogamepricecharts.com/console)and have even recommended it to a few people for their price-check needs. its definitely something that digitpress should have done when they created their database.

Tomba is worth that much!? I just bought a complete Tomba 1, that also had the Tomba 2 disc in the case for $5! I didn't know what it was worth.

Ah, thanks guys.

I should've sold my Suikoden III earlier, I just wanted a chance to play it and figured it would become impossible to find ala 1 and 2. The Growlanser Generations Deluxe I have is still sealed as well (guess I didn't make that clear), hopefully if I hold onto it for a couple years it may become worth something...I'm by no means a hoarder, but I absolutely despised the games and have no intention of keeping it, even if it means I'll have to sell for a loss.

VGCharts is only good for seeing trends and that's it... since they use Amazon prices and track every condition on Ebay (new, used, complete, disc only). I actually use it a lot more often now as Ebay changed their completed auctions to only 30 days.

I can't say for sure that Persona 3 will increase in value, but sealed games with artbook and soundtrack usually fetch quite a bit more than just sealed ones. Some of the old SNES and NES games used to have maps included inside, games that still have the maps sell for a lot more than ones without. I suspect this will be the same with artbooks and soundtracks.

i say wait for persona 3 FES, see what happens then.. the value of persona 3 new went down.

Bummer about getting ripped off by Gamestop. I have when they do that. I try to avoid shopping there at all cost because of that.

Regarding the SMT: Devil Summoner, it is hard to say for sure. I don't have much price history on it, but it has been very steady in the $20 (http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/game/playstation-2/shin-megami-tensei-devil-summoner) for the last 3 months. It comes from a good series collecting wise though. Shin Megami Tensei Nocturn sells for over $100 (http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/game/playstation-2/shin-megami-tensei-nocturne) frequently.

[Vinny]

Would it be worth holding onto a copy of SMT: Devil Summoner? I picked up a copy at GS and was unfortunately a victim of "new game" gutting with it.

I doubt it... it seems like this one isn't as popular. I see used copies all the time at Gamestop and I'm pretty sure my BB (or CC?) has new copies still.

Its worth more than $5.99 for sure, but isn't really expensive. Graffiti Kingdom is about $15 (http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/game/playstation-2/graffiti-kingdom).

The lady who does the voice for Ula is the dance instructor for the musical I am acting in. I'm bringing my dreamcast game in for her to sign!!!:D

I bought Devil Summoner new for $20, so im happy about that. Btw my local store has Noctourne with no manual or case going for $60. You think I should bite with edge or wait for a deal or just screw it and look for one with a case?

Just e-mail Atlus for a case and manual. That's what I did.

Do I just email them or is there a special sitre or something?

That's pretty cool.

I love SC5 myself, it's my favorite music game :)

Just send their CS an email (check their website) asking them if they have any replacement for whatever you need. Depending on their stock, they'll let you what you have to do. I did this with my Nocturne and got a soundtrack and replacement case artwork this way, free of charge.

BTW, just don't advertise this service anywhere... people will just abuse it.

It's not worth much now since the new game came out. It still goes for like $25 used sometimes I think.

[freakyzeeky]

Pocky and Rocky, parts 1 and 2.

Are they rare? Is one game rarer than another?

Just $5. There are cheap on ebay and half.com.

The gameplay is unforgiving, and that makes it not so much fun.

I was having such a hard time getting the game to work, I returned it. I have the one for the PS2 anyway.

Alright got one for everyone , Konami Arcade Classics for the PS1. When I looked up the price on VGPC , I was surprised to see it averaging about $35. Also what about Castlevania : SotN?

On that note about Castlevania , maybe you all can help me with another problem. I'm trying to decide whether to hold on to my copies of FFT (Black Label) , Castlevania (Black Label) and Valkyrie Profile or whether to sell them. I've already got the PSP versions of all three mentioned games (and the Live arcade version of Castlevania too) so its not like I NEED any of the games any more , but I'm still hesitant to let them go.

I sold Konami Arcade Classics for $30 Buy It Now on Ebay over the summer. I'm guessing $30-$35 would be about right.

I can't believe it always goes for that. That must have been a random thing. I know a place with 4 of thos for (I believe) $30 each!

I'm gonna buy all of em, keep 1 for myself give one to a CAG that actually wants it TO READ and not TO SELL and I'll sell the other two.

why did lunar 1 go for that much when i see them go around 40-50+

[schuerm26]

because you get people that get so out of control on bidding that they just bid it up to unreasonable amounts. Did the person pay? Who knows. It happens quite often though. I had a person bid up a complete copy of Wild Arms to $94 and I got lucky because they paid. It truly does happen more often than you would think.

Yeah, that's usually the only reason why that happens.. especially if Ebay's one click bid thing shows up. It's so easy for people to bid out of control.

Holy shit... where did you sell it for $50?

[Pookymeister]

Amazon, of course =]
