Rare games / Future collectbles that you own... - The Bear and Badger

[Deleted User]

So I've just been sorting through some stuff of mine and I found something I forgot I had -Â

A sealed copy of Monkey Island 2 that I bought from eBay about 7 years ago - I probably paid over the odds at the time but with it being my favourite game of all time I just couldn't pass it up. Does anyone else pick up games with the intention of keeping them to sell on down the line?

I didn't buy it to sell but I have a copy of Snatcher for the mega cd I got of a market stall for a fiver. Worth a few pound these days.

I sold an empty Monkey Island 2 box on eBay about seven years ago for mega cash money. That lamination machine has proved to be a great purchase.

I made the mistake of throwing away all of the boxes and instruction manuals for my Amiga games when I was younger. Â I'm not really that upset about it, but it would have been nice to uncover some of them when I would be rifling through my games collection - for nostalgic purposes.

I have a couple of untouched things, but I am currently trying to get on 3DS games that I know will be rare. Got Cave Story, Tales of The Abyss and Bit Trip...

Fossildog

I have a Gamecube chainsaw controller for Resident Evil 4. Probably not worth much more than I paid for it but it is boxed and in perfect sealed nick so will keep it up in the attic until it is worth zillions (c2097)

Got a Soul Calibur 2 Hori arcade stick for the Gamecube, might end up being worth slightly more than I paid for it in the future I guess. Don't see many around. Also got a Swancrystal and a couple of games, Gunpei Yokoi was the man.

The guy who bought it will probably never find out.Â Assuming you stuffed it with something vaguely weighty, the perfect crime.

The only thing of value I've got left is Samba De Amigo on Dreamcast.

Picked up a load of gamecube games for less than a fiver each when they were being cleared out. Got mgs:twin snakes, skies of arcadia, zelda twilight princess/gold wind waker and paper mario.

Didnt get tales of symphonia which was too much at Â£15 at the time

Also have a sealed dragon quest 5 on the ds, with the intention of opening it one day. Heard its great.

Raiziel

It is.

Billy

None of my stuff is sealed, they're all for playing.

Radiant Silvergun
Ikaruga
Panorama Cotton
Segagaga
Fantasy Zone
DoReMi Fantasy
Cosmic Smash
Policenauts
Waku Waku 7
a bunch of other stuff not worth much.

Cosmic smash is excellent fun

Brooks

It is. Have had the .iso sitting on my puter desktop for literally over two years.

Skerret

I have loads of neat gear, but the only things that spring to mind are me boxed and complete Panzer Dragoon Saga and original SotN.

Plornt

I have a floppy disc version of Doom somewhere. When I come to think of it, it's probably in the attic of my parents place. Have to find that one next time I visit them...

Paul the sparky

Moot, I filled it with a Wet Wet Wet CD. I R WINNING

ZMM

I had Tales of Vesperia for the 360 but I sold it because it was terrible. Â£90 on eBay or something. Once found a sealed copy of Tetris on the gameboy in my garage, sold that too.

I have Civilization Revolution on the 360 which is apparently quite rare. Oh and I still have some of those Xbox 360 launch party faceplates but I doubt they're worth shit, now.

Mouldywarp

I'm basically just reallyÂ jealousÂ of you all now. Mmm, Segagaga.

Skerret

I also have a boxed white Saturn but they're common enough.

Mint copies of PaRappa The Rappa 2, Amplitude, Frequency, Rez and the Trance Vibrator on PS2. Got Twin Snakes And Paper Mario on GC, but they're with a mate right now. Erk.

Also got all three spesh edish of Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandoras Tower. Having an ordering system and 30% off when it arrives in work helped on that one.

Birdorf

I'm in the process of selling everything, just been looking at Amplitude and Frequency, thought they'd be worth a bit more, might hang on to them a bit longer.

Birdorf

Some cheeky sod has just asked if I'll take Â£43 instead of Â£45 for the two GBA Fire Emblem games. Â£2! I like his style, I'd have asked for more.
My ebay new seller limit was lifted yesterday, it's been a mad day and a half so far, just said goodbye to the Zelda Oracle games.

I managed to find a warehouse place on eBay that sold replacement Dreamcast cases, so I have a bunch of pristine Dreamcast stuff. Doubt any of it's collectible, though. I'd be more interested in a Juno 106 or an MS20, so if you have one of those and are a bit simple... call me.

I did this about 5 years ago, I had a whole room full of retro and rare stuff including pc engine and neogeo aes collections.

Sold the lot and bought a car!

Toyed with idea of collecting the odd old console again but due to life and friends moving on I'd barely get used and just sit getting dusty.

Birdorf

Dreamcast games have the best case design ever.

Birdorf

I think it's nice to collect stuff if you can have it out on display, but mine have just sat in boxes for 10 or 15 years.

I got rid of almost everything. What's the point. Something to gawp at every now and again that gets put back where it was. Woah.

Yep. Sold all my stuff a few years ago. Really can't see the point in collecting things any more. I've kept a few GC and GBA games that I 'might play again' but even those will probably go at some point.

hehe, pretty much I have all my consoles and pooters from a 48k spectrum up
one of my favourites is the mega drive micro machines 2 with the 2 extra controller ports on the cartridge and the ability to have 16 player leagues with 8 people at a time playing
They`re all waiting in sealed storage, my mum and dads attic, until I get my new house then i`m gonna have a library room with the whole lot.

brrrrrrrr, beep. brrrrrrrrr beeeeeeeeeep

EvilRedEye

I keep everything I enjoyed. Bit weird I guess, although some stuff I'd struggle to get hold of again if I wanted to. I kinda wish I hadn't sold my Pokemon Blue and Silver, although I don't own anything I could play them on.
