That's critical. $500 loose ALOT/negotionable/???: sealed All potential buyers will obviously check to see its sealed which is understandable but fine because its 100% genuine and sealed. A retro game store would give you at least $1k knowing its value. This is all hypothetical. --- "God didn't create humans, no, it's humans who created God."

Itachi157 06/24/18 2:13:01 PM #16:	Sell it, I don't really collect games, I only play them. Even if it's rare, if the gameplay sucks or if it's not noteworthy for any other reason than being rare, I really have no interest in trying it. The novelty of being one of the few to try it would be outweighed by the fact that I could apparently get like $1000+ for it. Plus it'd be kind of odd to have a 1 game "rare game collection" that I'm keeping for some reason. <cite>Itachi157 posted [p:903879305] in If you had...
