Saw Halo 2 Sealed for $5. Buy them?

[Mr Unoriginal]

My local Shop-Rite (grocery store) is clearancing out their video games. They had about 5 new Halo 2 for $5 each. Worth it to flip?

 

[Zaku77]

they're not worth a whole lot of nothing (especailly with ebay's new evil fees!!!) Are the non-platinum hits?

 

[mtxbass1]

To flip? Seriously? You'd be lucky to make $2 above what you would pay for them.

 

[Mr Unoriginal]

None of them were platinum hits.

You still won't get jack for 'em, but could you get me one? lol I only have the LE, and I want to have the human version of the manual and what not....lol

get 'em there was a recent listing that ended at $24. You will make some money on the flip but just not a lot and it also depends who wants 'em. I'd say get them. From what I can see on eBay money is there to be made. You spend $29 after taxes and I bet you take in at least $100 after fees and stuff maybe more.

No shit!? Last time I looked they were going for like $10 lol

Right now they could be listed on Amazon at about $19. If you are patient, they might go up over time (as the supply depletes) but it could take years to get to, say, $50.

I'd buy them, put them in a box and forget about them for awhile.

seriously, these are a great find. They'd probably be worth quite a bit more if the servers were still online so that sucks but still worth it.

Funny you say this, I have some sealed Final Fantasy 12 games I got on clearance at TRU for $5 stored away for the very same reason you mention.

 

[sgaldis]

Yeah, I'd definitely buy a few and just stash 'em....it's only a $5 investment.

 

[lolwut?]

I'd take one if you were selling them to CAG's as well. It's still be sweet to play some multi with friends locally

Only collectors would buy these since they're non-platinum hits. I say buy maybe some of them and see if you can sell them for more than what you paid.

For people who actually want to play the game, platinum hits versions aren't hard to find, even new/sealed. My Best Buy might still have a new copy and then there's used game stores still have second-hand copies.
