I am figuring I would rather enjoy the TV now, and be one of the few guys I know that has one instead of saving games (that may not increase in value much more) that I probably would never play very much anyway.
 
Just a tip for your future auctions, don't bother putting a Buy It Now price on an item with at .01 starting bid. You are just wasting a nickel per listing, nobody is going to jump on it, they will just bid .01 and your Buy It Now option is gone.

Damn, if your Lunar had the manual with it, I would be all over it since I already have the case.

Then get a divx/xvid DVD player and download HDTV XViD rips.
 
Why does everyone here think games are such an astoundingly good investment? If most games depreciate rapidly in price, and a couple double in price in 10 years, you're highly unlikely to make much money. I had a massive collection of turbografx games and yeah some of them I sold for $50-$100, but when you figure they all cost ~$50 to start and most sold for $2-$15, i didn't exactly get rich. I've never known anyone to successfully invest in games. A guy I know who ran a game store tried it and ended up going out of business. I agree with the OP that a HDTV is much better in terms of actually getting use out of something.

only to be outdone by Deathtanks Zwei on the sega saturn.
 
Games are only good to keep if you want to play them again, want to share them with someone, or if you just like to be a packrat [which I am, nothing wrong with that.]
For every game you buy for 20 and sold for 30, you probably have 10 you bought for 30 and traded for 1.50 or something. Ironically, the mass appeal of games now helps ensure that there is even less chance of them being an 'investment' overall. If you want to 'invest', every time you buy a game, take that same amount of money and buy a savings bond. You'll do better.
On-topic: Guardian heroes: is that the 2-d, 'layered' beat'em up, or the strategy RPG?
 
lol u can just take shipping into account with your max bid, havent u seen items that have buy it nows for a penny but shipping of like $49.99, and if u dont like it, dont bid, there is no need to complain. Look at other people's shipping for games and tell me how it is.
 
Regarding Heart of the Alien and Flashback.

Are the manuals in good condition? Your Flashback manual looks bent.

Are the discs scratch & scuff free?

Are the cases cracked at all?
 
The Heart of the Alien manual is in good condition except for the stains I described. The disc had a couple scratches but was professionally resurfaced (does not have lines like the disc doctor) and looks to be in great condition. Off hand I am not sure if the box was cracked, but if so I can swap it out for one of my own sega cd boxes. As for the Flashback (complete) everything is in great condition. I would have noted if there was significant bending to the manual. The disc did not need to be resurfaced as it is in almost immaculate condition.

Guardian Heroes is a beat'em up scrolling fighter such as Dungeons & Dragons + RPG elements(level ups, etc..).
