Sealed PC and IBM games.

[8-Bit Archeology]

I have a few games I cannot value simply for the fact that I am having no luck finding comparisons.

All are sealed with little shelf wear.

Ultima - Savage Empire for IBM

The first Championship Drag Racing by Bethesda. Not Burnout. CD For IBM.

Beach Head 2000 for PC.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Ultima: A lot of money. Especially if it's mint.

Championship Drag Racing and Beach Head 2000... probably not much.

Ultima - Savage Empire for IBM
Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire is worth about $100 sealed give or take. I think there might have been a few different versions of this, if so it might depend on which version you have.

So I have been looking for more info on that, Hot Rod: Championship Drag Racing game for IBM and 100% compatible.
I do NOT have one that says Burnout.
after all of my searching I found this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Burnout-Championship-Drag-Racing-PC-CD-fine-tune-muscle-car-race-simulation-game-/250907073902

A Disk Only that sold for $89.99.
Mine is factory sealed and the only flaw is a jewel case pressure crack on the back. the crack is thin but about 1 and a half inches near the top of the jewel case.

I am short on money and want to sell this item but have no clue as to the best way of doing so, without gambling on an ebay auction.

I would be greatful to any help that can be provided.

This game came in a large cardboard box, so I'm not sure why you are claiming it's factory sealed. Also, it's not clear that the disc only copy sold at $90. It just says the auction ended, not that it sold. There are multiple used copies for sale on Amazon starting at $50. New in the box I would estimate it goes for $70-$80. The only way to know for sure is to list it on Ebay and see what the market will bear. It's a niche of collectors/gamers that will be interested. I doubt you'll get much interest here.

It's only "worth" money because of dumb Amazon sellers who want to dupe some schmuck into paying lots of money because it was made by Bethesda.

OK for one, The band that says SOLD would just say ended if the item did not sell, as many of my items have. And two please look at what you are responding to. I said my copy DOES NOT SAY BURNOUT. it is a pre burnout copy. All of this information took hours of searching the internet and local shops and collectors, to obtain. The non burnout edition is not on amazon, gamegavel, ebay (any longer and the only one is a year ago) and many other sites have been checked. There is only 2 stock photos of this game online [bing,google,yahoo] and they are only tiny thumbnails. one that leads to epinions with barely any info. and the other sent me to the ebay link. Plus there is nothing to say this came in a cardboard box. The only edition that I saw a couple of that did, where players choice editions.

I came to the "What its worth" for help not guesses. And I dont know how to add additional quotes but the Its only worth what amazon says to rip off people quote is a joke. How can you be a member of a site that promotes collecting, and bash a game because you dont know about it or dislike it. I could say the same remark about Stadium Events or Cheetahmen 2. But this is a "whats it worth" page not an opinions on what I have page.

Please to anyone with any info or knowledge on pricing this item, I need your help.

You're correct that it does appear that listing sold. Having said that, games of this type appeal to very specific types of PC gamers who are also drag racing enthusiasts. I'm not aware of anyone like that here and I'm also not aware of any specific reason why a pre "Burnout" copy of the game is somehow super valuable or more rare. Heck, I don't even understand why someone paid that kind of money for a loose disc. I'm a PC game collector and like most PC game collectors, I only collect complete in the box games. Apparently people just want the disc to play the game, so having a sealed one that isn't complete probably isn't going to be much more appealing or valuable to those collectors. As such, your best option is to simply list it on Ebay and see what it goes for.

By the way, I rechecked the Amazon listing and it's quite possible that some of those copies being sold are the same as yours. A lot of times Amazon sellers choose the closest item to what they already have and list it under that rather than creating a whole new listing. Also, there is someone on Gametz who has a NIB copy for sale and nobody has it on their want list and that is a hotbed of PC game collecting. I suspect very few people care about this game.

As a side note, being an arrogant prick to the people weighing in here is neither welcome nor appropriate. If you don't like our advice or contribution, please ignore it or go elsewhere.

They didn't. While the auction does say sold, no feedback was left for that item so it can't be confirmed that the transaction went through successfully. I doubt it happened.

You're probably right, although racing PC games are a weird thing where there do seem to be some F1 and other niche titles that command premium prices. I don't know much about this particular drag racing game, so I wouldn't necessarily discount the auction completely. At the same time, I feel pretty confident that there would be more discussions about the game and reselling it if it was one of those really prized titles. In any event, I'm not sure why this guy is making things so difficult. There are plenty of places including Ebay where he can set a high BIN and accept offers or better yet do an open auction and see what the market takes it to.

I thank you for the real info. Im not trying to make it difficult. Its just i have been burned a few times and am tryingto find out as much as possible. Beeing as there is little to no info i wanted to see if anyone here knew about this title.

Post script. Why do many forum users act like your wasting their time. Yet use their knowledge and time to insult someone looking for info. <~thought that was what forums where for.

Polotics I hate thee so.

I don't know. Why do new forum members like yourself constantly join forums like this one either to sell things or to obtain free information about what something is worth? How about spending some time contributing to the forums before you pursue your own financial self-interest?

Have been. In classic gaming. Which is the only forum i can really contribute to. Dont act like because i am new to this forum, i dont know how they work. Its very cliche for you to try and give me a hard time. But...this is the internet. I dont care. I enjoy the game talks here. I dont need to enjoy you. Hows about you go piss someone off who matters if i am so insignificant. Cheers.

Well, so far, you're acting just like we are. I imagine you'll fit in just fine.
