I picked up a large box full of sealed PC/Apple games from the swapmeet on Sunday and wanted to see if anyone here could help me out on prices (or if anyone's interested in buying, shoot me a pm). Everything looks to be new, tho some games wrapping have small holes and one diskette in a plastic case (it folds open and has a hangtab on top) has been accidentally opened (I'd guess, since the contents appear new). Here's a list of what all I got (pix coming soon):

Transylvania (2 copies, both from Polarware, one is Apple //gs, //c, and //e with 128k, the other is Apple 64k and this one's wrapping is coming loose)
Talisman: Challenging the Sands of Time (Polarware, Apple 5 1/4" disk, 128k)
Holiday & Seasons Electric Crayon Deluxe (Polarware, Apple //gs etc version)
Honeymooners (4 copies, all First Row Software, all 256k IBM)
Twilight Zone (First Row, IBM PC)
Voyage of the Valkyrie (Sams, Apple II 48k, Dos 3.3)
Regatta: a Sailing Game (Sams, Apple II 48k, Dos 3.3)
Spelling Sorcery (2 copies, ComputerEasy, Apple II)
Astro*Talk (2 copies, ComputerEasy, Apple II)
The Perfect Career (Mindscape, Apple II, 128k)
The American Challenge: A Sailing Simulation (Mindscape, Commodore 64/128)
Micro-Telegram Software Linking Apple Computers to Western Union, Telex & TWX (Microcom, extensive wear to box, tears to wrapping)
Zoom! (Discovery Software, IBM PC 256k)
Geopolitique 1990 (Thunder Mountain/SSi, "Contains Two Versions!" Apple II 48k, Commodore 64 & 128)
Voodoo Island (Thunder Mountain, Apple II, 64k, sealed in that hangtab plastic case I described above, this one is sealed tho)
Gamma Force in Pit of a Thousand Screams (Infocom presents InfoComics, Apple II, 128k)
Suspended (Infocom, commodore 64)
Zone Ranger (Activision, Commodore 64)
Screen Editor (Commodore 64)
Mind Pursuit (Datasoft, Commodore 64/128)
Ferrari Formula One (Electronic Arts, Commodore/Amiga DOS, sealed in baggie)
PGA Tour Golf (Electronic Arts, Manual sealed in plastic w/ tape on top, game in the middle of manual)
Ken Uston's Professional BlackJack (Apple II & IBM versions, requires DOS 1.0)
Mind Prober Jr (Apple Diskette, this is the accidental opened one)
Reading Keys Level 5 & Reading Keys Level 6 (Avant-Garde, two separate releases, Apple II)
Grade 3 Spelling & 2 copies of Grade 5 Spelling (American Educational Computer, Apple II, 48k)
Meteor Storm (Royal Software, Atari 400 or 800, 16k RAM)

Softsmith Software (Apple II, 24k):
Acey-Deucey (four copies)
Color Me
Drinks on a Disk (two copies)
FCM: Filing, Cataloging & Mailing (two copies)
Firebird (two copies)
Gold Rush
Guardian (three copies)
Lazersilk
Lunar Pinball
Max-Command (two copies)
Micro Barmate
Midnight Malady (two copies)
Multi-Disk Catalog III (two copies)
Secureguard (two copies)

I know, I know, this is a LOT of stuff, and I don't expect anyone to price out everything for me. Maybe a rough estimate, or just prices on anything pricey in here. Hell, I don't even expect sealed game prices, maybe just what they go for used (I'm not even 100% these are original seals, tho for many it looks like a definite). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anything by Infocom, sealed, is worth quite a bit.

Personally I'd like to buy a couple of those but I doubt I'll be able to afford them...

Shoot me an offer. I didn't pay a ton of money on this and I need to get cash quick. Obviously I'm not looking to give shit away but I'm not looking to get rich either.

Aside from Infocom, those First Row and Polarware games are worth some money. Do you a pic of Suspended, and Twilight Zone? I'd be interested in buying these two if you're selling.

Unfortunately, after looking over Suspend, it's obviously a reseal. I can see there's cheap-ass price stickers under the wrapping. Some of the other games definitely look new, others I can't really tell. I'll get some pics up when I have a chance, likely later tonight.

I've posted sealed Infocom games numerous times on eBay and they never seem to get much interest.

As auctions or buy it nows, and with international shipping or not?

Because the Europeans seem to be into sealed Infocom games. Or they were, in the past.

It really depends on the game and the platform. Sealed Infocom games aren't really all that rare with the Commodore ones being the most common in my experience. The older non-grey box customized package ones go for a ton, especially if they are NOS.

I've added pix. Noticed a few others are obviously resealed, but again some look like definitely new. I'm thinking of opening a few just to see condition - if there's cheetos dust inside, I'll think they're all pretty much used and resealed.

I've slowly been adding these games to my Ebay (http://www.ebay.com/sch/mobiusclimber/m.html?item=350586786858&_trksid=p2047675.l2562&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&rt=nc) account and so far I've sold Talisman for $100 shipped. I'll be adding pretty much all of the games if anyone is interested (all of them with a "make an offer" option.)
