I don't collect games. I prefer to play RPGs with frameskipping. I still have the box, and at least half of the strategy guide.

Yeah, I really need to get around to selling this.

I don't think I will ever sell Earthbound for at least a few decades since the music licensing issues make it so it'll probably never see a US re-release.

I do sometimes want to sell Suikoden II though. I would really miss it, but you HAVE to think that it's gonna hit PSN at some point for $6 and cut the used price in half like what happened to Suikoden 1...right?

Actually rare? Clayfighter 63 1/3 SC, since it was rental only (though I don't have a box for it).

Other than that, for stuff that people think is rare and such because it's in demand, you could just look at my collection since that's why I bothered to go through and add it. >_>

Jeez, didn't know this was even rare. Guess that makes my list over Tactics Ogre.


You know, I'm not even sure WHY Mega Man 7 sells for such high prices.

It's not especially rare (Tactics Ogre is still actually rarer), and it was re-released (on THREE CONSOLES) in the Anniversary Collection.

I was under the impression that it was rejected by Sony of America due to the glaring translation/audio errors. I can't find a link backing this up, but I remember hearing it.

Still though, that's a quality control issue, not like Earthbound's legal issues.

I still feel like it's more likely to happen down the road, or I guess maybe as the series dies maybe no one new will care?

I don't know which ones are rare necessarily. I mean, I know a few, but I don't know if they'd really count.

Suikoden & Suikoden II
Koudelka
Raidou Kuzunoha 1 & 2
Saga Frontier 2
Legend of Legaia (**** yeah man)
Star Ocean 2
Bushido Blade?
All three Shadow Hearts?
MvC2 on PS2
I should have some badass Dreamcast games somewhere too.

Big boxes like Earthbound (also Mario Paint, maybe others?) were NEVER "sealed". If you got every component of the package in like-new condition and put it all inside the box properly, there would be no way to tell if it had ever been opened and used or not. If you see one sold with shrinkwrap, that's one that someone shrinkwrapped after the fact to fool buyers.

Also I am impressed that Chrono Trigger has held 2/3 of its used value even after getting re-released on DS and ported to the Virtual Console and PSN.

Really shows how much of this is collectability versus how much is desire to legally play.

Dragon Warrior VII

Are these actually rare? I just guessed loosely based of that site.

None of the Playstation games have cases, though.

I don't have much with a notable sell price. Best I've got are Bust-A-Groove 2 for PSX, Crusader of Centy for Genesis, and Pulseman for the Japanese Mega Drive (although I just bought that one on Friday night, it hasn't arrive yet). Only Bust-A-Groove is complete though, the other two I bought loose and with one or two extremely minor nicks on the label so I could get them cheaper (in the $40-$50 range instead of $100+) since I really only care about playing them.

BTW the best price guide I've seen around is on dinkydana.com

I don't see anywhere that it says but I am pretty sure the prices are for complete games, but I could be wrong; $157.95 for a complete Earthbound seems a little low, as does $2.95 for a ton of unpopular common games.

First off, if it had a very limited run, it's at least uncommon in my book.

Furry Tales
Lufia II (PAL version in English)
GrimGrimoire (I don't know, is this rare?)

I mean, I have like Suikoden II and both Lunar for PS1 too but those games aren't really that rare, there are plenty of copies out there, it's just that there's not enough to fill demand and those that have them don't really wanna sell them...

I think most people are judging it more by sell price, which is easier to gauge in a meaningful way than actual rarity. Earthbound for example is not particularly rare, but it is highly sought-after so it commands a higher price.

I also have Pier Solar, that Genesis homebrew RPG that came out in 2010. That one was really up there for a while, but as they've reprinted it the price has gone down. It might go back up again once you can't get it new anymore, but it's still worth more than what I paid for it originally.

The only other homebrews I have are Battle Kid and Nomolos on NES, which are both readily available on retrousb.com, but if they ever go off the site I'm sure they'll jump up. Homebrews can really be valuable because they often have such limited runs, and collectors who want ALL the games always want em.
