The Neverhood seems to go for a good amount, even disc only copies.
Knights of Xentar is supposedly really rare according to the Wikipedia article about it, but I have no idea how much it's worth. I've never seen a copy for sale on ebay and I've been checking for a few years already. Does anyone know how much copies are worth?

I would love to have a good resource for this.
I've had a lot of luck in the wild for nice old PC games lately. Specifically, I found the following:
Martian Memorandum (Tex Murphy 2) PC 3.5" (NEW/SEALED) I loved this game as a kid!
Under a Killing Moon PC CD-ROM with PANDORA DETECTIVE factory sealed inside (NEW/SEALED)
Dark Sun: Shattered Lands SSI (NEW/SEALED)
Ultima VII: The Black Gate PC 3.5" complete with EVERYTHING "PC Gamer Edition"
These are all games I loved years ago, so its cool to have nice complete or new copies of them. Any idea what these are worth? Anyone? Bueller?

There were a few listed earlier this year that went for around $25-40. The Amazon marketplace has some as well, but most are $50 for CD only.
Why is "One Unit Whole Blood" worth so much? Limited run or something?
Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

I have about 15 of these for sale, all different games. I posted them on ebay and couldn't get 10 cents for any of them besides Jazz Jackrabbit (which sold for $30 plus all 3 times I sold one). I've had them on DP for $1 apiece for awhile now and haven't sold any.
Wizardry VIII...
Been wanting this for awhile but it's more than I anticipated.
Didn't realize this one was so in demand!
Can't believe the game didn't do better in sales. Like, it's not really my typical sort of game and even I loved the hell out of it. Reviews were pretty universally fantastic as well, right?
Snatched up the budget rerelease (small box / $20) in '03 because it'd run on my laptop at the time. So happy I did that.

Oh, I thought of another one - Star Wars Galaxies Collector's Edition. When I worked at EB Games, the morons at corporate "pennied" it out (meaning to trash it, technically). Instead I took it home and it sold on ebay for $150.
Here's my feedback thread: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/show...ht=FantasiaWHT
Oh yeah, when I got my copy about 2 years ago I paid about 50 bucks for it! I think the reason it did not do so well was because you could only get it from one place (EB Games, I think?) and they did not have it for very long.
I've sold Sam & Max games for a bit.
Also I believe Day of the Tenticle, at least complete, is worth a few bones.
I've been waiting for a thread like this, mainly so I know what to look for when I visit my local Goodwill. They always have so many different types of pc games(boxed, jewel case, etc.) but I never know what to pick up. Someone needs to make a definitive list of 20-50 PC titles you should always pick up when you come across them.
ALL HAIL THE 1 2 P
I second the creation of said list. I've bought so many PC games thinking that if I didn't like them/couldn't run them, I could sell them with ease. This is just not true.
I'm sure someone will correct me, but I don't know of any PC games that only came in a jewel case that are worth anything.
I picked up my rerelease version at Best Buy *shrug*
