My old game is worth what?!

[Amethyst Wind]

Apparently ZOE2 is worth a decent amount, it's scarce or something.

This is exactly why I'm holding on to my copies of Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War. They're worth pennies now because everyone's got a copy, but one day they'll be rare, and these two games can stop blighting my shelf with their presence. There're also copies of Final Fantasy VII and VIII in my house which'll be worth something soon.

Are you kidding me?! When Alien Archeologists dig through the remains of our planet, there will be a whole archological layer denoted by GoW and CoD4. You'll be able to date events 2007-2009 perfectly.

Most games depreciate shockingly. Even "rare" games for SNES don't seem to fetch much. Remember that they were £50-£60 new, hardly an investment!

i sold a copy (mint, in box) of the original Starwing (thats starfox's first name) on the SNES, for £200 on ebay.

Better then the shit at USA Gamestop, I went to return a game i bought for $50 dollars, and they gave me $15 store credit back, then as i was browsing, someone wanted a used copy of the game i had returned, they sold it to them, used, for $40. Fuck you Gamestop. Fucking assholes.

Yeah, check this out, I bought Suikoden II for the PS1 at a Pawn Shop for $5 when I was like 10, which if you haven't played, stop reading and go play now! It was in O.K. condtion with its case and book, and I sold it on Ebay for like $150, its a really good game and now apparently very rare.

Really? You must have seen them coming. There are 3 copies boxed with manuals on there right now for £25. Still overpriced, as the cartridge itself goes for £3.99. I've got one upstairs.

My daughter sold three of her old GBA Pokemon games on EBay through my account and made roughly $175.00 USD. That is just some crazy shit! Some game just gain value as time passes I guess.

I know beautiful katamari for the 360 is pretty rare right now $55 Canadian for a new one and $39 used but it came out in 2007 so a view more years and It will be a damn good investment.

 

[Brown Cap]

I sold Playstation games that were pretty popular back in the day a week ago.

I had 6 games

I got $3.11 for them. One game was worth only 23 cents

Most games get cheap as they age. But as they age even more they go from old to retro and they get harder and harder to find. So when you see a pretty good game when it drops to a pretty low price it usually means in the next few years it will start to appreciate in value if its a game people actually want. Its a supply and demand thing. The sequel will probably start to follow the same road eventually.

Yeah. My problem now is my PC won't run it, lol. The engine crashes, even in compatibility mode.

If you have a multicore PC trying turning off the extra cores.

This is how I fixed my Silent Hill 2 compatibility problem any way.

How would I go about finding out/fixing that? I'm not particularly savvy when it comes to working with the magic-tube-surfing boxes.

I have an old super-nes version of final fantasy three hanging around, last time I checked it was worth about 120.

This. Explains why Chrono Trigger is so goddamn expensive. Final Fantasy VII not so much because, newsflash, I can get it on PSN for $10, NOT $50+.

Anyway, none of my old games are worth anything, unfortunately.

 

[Total LOLige]

its probably so much because it might be hard to come by these days

You're a sharp one, aren't you?

no need to be sarcastic
