Hi! This is my first post here! Well, I'm from Brazil, I have a little collection (see in my signature). I have a good english, I think I won't have much problems with it. :D
Well, I have 2 games, I need you guys appraise it.
They are:
Final Fantasy VIII ( Original version, factory sealed )
Psychic Detective ( near mint condition )

How much they can cost? Thanks for all! :D

FFVIII is worth about $5 probably...or you can get more use out of it using the instructions as toilet paper, and the cd as a coaster. :)

I'm serious. I'm not planning to sell it, but I just want to know how much it is. Thanks!

I'm sure you have at a bare minimum $50 with that FFVIII, on eBay I'd imagine that it would go for at least $100... assuming this is the US release.

Yes, it's US release. What about Psychic Detective?

Is there something i missed?? FFVIII when it was brand new was sold for like 30$....umm...what the hell are you talking about Querjek?? It's a crappy at best PS1 RPG...common as hell, nothing special about it...why would it go for $50 or $100?

What Querjek is talking about is that if FF8 is the non greatist hits version. And if its factory sealed, it can go for quite a good amount. Ever check the online auctions for sealed non GH FF tactics or FF7? They can go for quite a good amount.

I completely based my guess off of past eBay observations... and that's what the actual search turns up. I guess $100 is pushing it a bit, but it could happen with today's insanity.

That ridiculous, you can get FFVIII sealed anywhere for like 10-20$

It means I want another game. I have 1 sealed, I want 1 more. :)

yeah... and monkey's fly out of my butt.

Show me the place where you can get a factory sealed one for 10 to 20 bucks and I will show you a dog that can play a guitar with his penis.

Also, don't insult the man's english, he's new around here and from Brazil. Welcome.

Physic Detective... I know it is fairly rare for the PSX. I'd advise you to do a quick search on ebay to see what one sells for and then you can get a rough idea.

Or you can PM kevincure and ask for his all mighty playstation knowledge. I am sure he could give a good estimate on value.

First of all, i went to 3 video game stores in Philly yesterday and there were copies of FFVIII at each of em for like 15-20 bucks...second of all, i wasn't making fun of his english, i didn't understand what he said. Notice i said "no offense." And...that's it..wow, i sound like a douche..sorry, i'm really pissed off.

Ok! It needs to be the original version, can't be Greatest Hits. Needs to be factory sealed, totally mint condition, withoud any crack, excellent wrapper. Please, look at the corners, they usually have cracks. Thanks for all! :)

I can't show you FF8 all over the place sealed but could I still see the dog do that? LOL LOL

no hard feelings here, sorry if i came across kinda harsh there, I just thought you were coming down on the guy that's all. But I would like to see a factory sealed one for 15 20 bucks (non GH version)... and if that is true you would be wise to invest in them... imho.

Well, the demand is not that high, but this is an old game (and I love it!) and it's not that common. Don't forget to get me a copy! :D

Psychic Detective is pretty damn rare, but as of right now the average person doesn't see that yet, so ebay prices are fairly low, between the $15-$25 range (when it shows up at all). Wait a few years when PSX collecting really takes off and it'll go up.

Are these PAL or NTSC releases?

Both NTSC.

I'm sure there are loop holes......but I've searched high and low for this game. Because if I could pick up any psx sealed titles from the FF series that wasn't greatest hits. I would be all over it. I searched 8 states and found nothing.....none of those states included Penn. but....ya never know. I really doubt 3 places had them new and sealed but who am I to judge. Make sure there's no retarded green label and you may have found yourself some friends or some $$. I usually look for stuff like this so I can sell it on ebay and instantly have more $$ to boost my collection, or my pc.....whatever needs love that week ;)

Well I would love to see this magical place that has tons of FF8 non gh sealed. Inevitably anytime someone says game x is worth y, someone has to be a smart ass and state oh that games not rare my store near me has tons of em. Well if your store does thats great but in the other 99.9% of the world it is hard to find and/or rare. Hell I considered it a miracle my BB hat ff anthology and chronicles gh, and I got the last ones they had.
