    Hi,

    I've just been looking on ebay and some of the games in my collection are worth quite a bit. Most valuable one seems to be Panzeer dragoon saga for Sega Saturn that i picked up new for 9.99punts ,they'res one on ebay at the mo and it's had 17 bids @ 114quid :)

    Also alot of Dreamcast games i have are worth afair bit too.Is it worth hanging on to these,are they gona get more valuable as time passes?

    What games have you got that are worth a lot of money?

    I've got a mint copy of Suikoden 2. It's the PAL version which is even rarer than the NTSC version which goes for 200+ US dollars. It very rare and very sought after since it puts the final fantasy games to shame.

    I've also got a PAL copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga as well but it's unboxed. I'd never sell it though, it's my favourite game ever.

    I've all the PS1 final fantasy games including Final Fantasy Tactics. They are definitely not rare but highly sought after.

    I've also got Vagrant Story, Front mission 3, Chrono Cross, Vandal Hearts, Lunar (unboxed) and Lunar 2 (with everything except the pendant) and promo copies of Vandal Hearts 2 and Castlevania symphony of the night.

    I have 2 copies of xenogears but they aren't rare since ea and square decided to rerelease it :(

    I wish I had a copy of tactics that worked on my ps1.

    I have a very rare Versus Final Fantasy 7 strategy guide.

    Its a little torn but a great read. Seen it going for 100s on Ebay.

    Not sure, will have to root about to see if anything is of value in the collection,
    I take it an unboxed copy of Super Mario Bros/Duckhunt isn't going to cut it?

    I've got KulaWorld and Kurushi for the PS
    Also Castlevania SOTN complete for PS as well.
    I've got a ton of other stuff, I'll make a list and post it sometime, although maybe someone could tell me the type of stuff we're talking about?
    Is it the like of Steel Batallion?

    I too have Vagrant Story somewhere, a mate gave it to me for nothin' so, happy days!
    I have a Virtual Boy with an almost complete US collection of games.
    I also have skullmonkeys, resident evil directors cut but I'm not sure if they are valuable really, just hard to find these days.

    Lemme see. I have Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy 6,7,8 & 9, Galerians, Jade Cocoon and Parasite Eve, but Parasite Eve is NTSC. I have Resident Evil Director's Cut with the RE2 Demo. That's it really, everything else is stuff you could still get from Ebay.

    The only games I have that *may* be worth something are, Meta Galactic Llamas Battle At The Edge Of Time (good old Jeff Minter and his whacky titles for games) for the Vic20, an original cassette copy of Zaxxon for the C64 and an original Jelly Monsters Cart (excellent Pacman clone) for the Vic20.

    I doubt very much they are worth anything though.

    Klonoa 2?
    Ico (first print)?
    Gitaroo Man?

    I have Grandia, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Castlevania SotN, Megaman x4 and Megaman x5 for the PS1. Have a perfectcopy of Jet Set Radio for the Dreamcast. Also Have Kevin Keegan's Player manager for the SNES but it's very primitive.

    I think that all your copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga are actually worthless and as such you should cop on, put away such childish things, and give one of them to me, go on, you know it makes sense!

    The thing is that games for the modern formats, PS/PS2/Xbox were published on such vast numbers that there really isn't any supply problem, they are out there, probably in attics across the land, not quite the same thing as an Ultra rare Nes competition cart, or a limited edition MSX, a difference reflected in the prices.

    I mean, my Vectrex, 1983, beautiful device, retro as they come, only really sold for about a year before being discontinued, but because there were so many sold they have never become so rare as to be valuable, so you can get an unboxed example for about 100 euro or so, not too bad.
    Only some of the games have become obscenely pricey, the light pen, the games to go with it, some limited promo games and materials cost serious money.

    I have Klonoa on the PS, a lovely jap copy of Pocket Fighter, it's gorgeous and seriously underated.
