Your Top Five Most Valuable Video Game Collectibles

[digitalpress]

List 'em here!

Whether it be rare games, hardware, memorabilia, prototypes... Figure if you were going to sell five of your things, which five would net you the MOST cash! In no particular order.

Who's up first?

[Sylentwulf]

Just to sell for the most amount of money:
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Dragon Warrior 4 complete in box
Glib
Rescue Terra I
Swordquest Waterworld (Or Obelix/Springer maybe?)

[Keir]

Laseractive 3D Goggles
CIB Amiga CD32 console
Laseractive Console
Atari 5200 Masterplay Interface
Atari 2600 Death Trap

I probably have some CIB C64 disk games that would be worth more than Death Trap, but I never bothered to figure out their value (because I ain't getting rid of them!)

[Alex Kidd]

About the only things I have taht would net more than 100 bucks on their own would be my Mario Bros arcade unit or Mr. Do! arcade unit.

They both still have their Title Marquee on the top/front, as well as their controller overlays with instructions and window with art over the actual moniter/tv inside. The only things missing are the side panels. They're only plain blue at the moment. And someone must have had a hard time getting the controller over lay on Mario Bros. cause it's got these big rivets on one side. You wouldn't notice it so much if ALL of them were the same but one side has nice little screws and one side has these BIG rivets.

[bargora]

Radiant Silvergun
Steel Battalion
Battle Garegga
Atari 5200 Wico sticks
RARE GREEN DREAMCAST RARE RARE.

[samuraiX]

well I guess if you count arcade games...

Donkey Kong Jr. dedicated cocktail table

as far as other oddball rarities/ highly valued items:
US Garou Mark of the Wolves NGH
US Metal Slug X NGH
JP Magical Drop 2 NGH
MIB NES Stack Up
US Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer NGH

but I guess what do you expect with Neo carts =)

[GrandAmChandler]

You all will just have to wait and see at Philly Classic 4! X_x

[CrazyImpmon]

I have all 6 Ultima games for C64 complete in box. I know the earlier games would be worth a fortune.

Smurf 2 for SMS. They'd probably sell better from an USA owner than from European owner.

Vectrex system.

Maxi-15 in cardboard box.

Fiber optic World of Nintendo sign.

[Six Switch]

Not that many,come on I'm 15 give me a break! :(

Well here goes:

[Quintracker]

[maxlords]

Damn..I can't match some of those...wish I could count the two-player cocktail Joust pinball game I had (worth over $5000) but I sold it with all my other arcade games.

I'd have to go with:

Panzer Dragoon Saga (minty fresh!)

Stack of brand new unused PCBs (untested and some are unidentified)

Turbo Duo w/Dracula X and a convertor (ok, I'm combining things to add value, I admit it!)

Suikoden 2 (pristine mint)

Sega CDX system

Most of my stuff isn't in the multi-hundred dollar bracket...but I do have a LOT of it! :) Oh and Six Switch, let me know when you get MM so I can send you that IQ! :)

[Mr-E_MaN]

I would have say that I don't have that many games that would fetch a lot of money...

I have earthbound complete. But I'm not sure if any other game I own is worth anything... maybe one of my Super Mario/Duck Hunts LOL

[ventrra]

3 things for me instead of 5 ...
Coleco ADAM computer
Cuttle Cart
Midway's "Sea Devil" Arcade machine

[Raccoon Lad]

Let's see...

Unfortunately, I couldn't talk the owner in to parting with it so it has to go back next week. :(

No clue what my Arcade games are 'worth.' Eye of the beholder syndrome. The most valuable I have is either Joust 2, due to it's limited production run, Star Wars (by Atari) cockpit version, or Discs of Tron cockpit.

Video game stuff...

'sealed' Glib (although the plastic wrap shit... whatever you call it... is torn in three different spots)
sealed Panzer Dragoon Saga
loose Stadium Events

[Cheese]

[chrisballer]

My 3 panesian games 2 complete one with ins

boxed like new top loader

Not really sure a bunch of stuff around the same value as the last couple things i listed up there.

Brand New NES Sports Set (Boxed, complete - I opened it, but NRFB)
Neo Geo (dedicated 6-slot) MVS cabinet

[Raedon]

Neo Geo CDZ
complete Chrono Trigger
Complete FFIII
complete FFII
large Megaman collection (of which I suck at)
Sonic Adv. LE

[GaijinPunch]

In no particular order..

1) Turbo Duo prototypes (Space Fantasy Zone, Silky Lip, Angel's II)
2) Saturn promo Atomic Runner Chelnov
3) Space Fantasy Zone Flyer/Print ad
4) What's Shenmue (sealed)
5) Dreamcast (Super Black Model)

[Vroomfunkel]

There was an Atomic Runner Chelnov game scheduled for the Saturn?? I lvoed that game on the Megadrive ... what's the Saturn version like? I wanna have it!!

Anyway ... not especially in order, my top values are:

Yu Yu Hakushu (box, manual, cart)
Steel Empire (box, manual, cart, reg card)
Panzer Dragoon Saga (PAL version, complete with outer card sleeve, all in excellent condition)
Metal Slug Deluxe Edition (box set with RAM cart, very good condition)

now, that's the top 4. I'm not sure what would come next .. you'll have to choose from:

PS2 console
Region and Speed modified PAL Saturn
Bomberman Party Pack for Saturn (Box set of Bomberman, Bomberman Joypad and Bomberman Multitap)
Shenmue II (PAL Dreamcast, boxed in good condition)

I guess it is probably the Party Pack - I've no idea how much it is actually worth. I just know that I paid a lot for it, cause I am a complete Bomberman addict, and I had to have it! Heck, I even bought Bomberman Wars recently, despite knowing full well that it was probably going to be terrible. And it was .. but I still don't regret it!
