Tears of the Cows 1,285 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) This is something I’ve wondered for a while. Is there a method to this? How does one predict if a game is worthy of being not only purchased, but possibly purchased multiple times, with the thought that you’d leave several sealed. some games are worth insane value, and it makes no sense. Uncharted 2’s whatever “premium” version for example is worth almost 2k! Probably purchasable for under $200 at the time. That’s a 10:1 mark up.. at least. Houses aren’t even close to this. Easy fucking flips! Imagine if you bought 100… or 1,000. here’s a list at “most valuable games”, but of course.. you’d have to find a buyer. Who the fuck would buy these games.. and why? https://howchoo.com/g/n2jkmmixn2i/rarest-video-games-of-all-time Edited January 20, 2022 by ghostz Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. House 3,371 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Anything that didn't sell too hot at launch and will have collector interest in the future, it usually work best with niche IPs that has a dedicated fanbase. I sold so many Japanese trash at a profit you wouldn't believe. But it's imperative that you keep your games in a flawless condition, or better yet, sealed. Finding a buyer is easy. Ebay it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) This thread reminded me I got to sell my World of Warcraft Collector's Edition (first edition). It's worth roughly $600-$800 (CAD). Edited January 20, 2022 by Ramza Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 4,078 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I had a pretty sizeable collection of niche PS2 games that I sold all to buy a fuckin PSP at launch they would have been worth so much nowadays. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m guessing you didn’t buy it at launch ? What was the original price? Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,313 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I had seen that the Danganropa had a pretty high resale presence on ebay, so that's why I preordered the Decadance Special Edition. Currently, the resale markup is only 30-50%, but it just barely came out last month so there's still quite a few available on ebay. Gonna just sit on it for a while and see the item become more scarce. Link to post Share on other sites
