Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout (Original) Factory Sealed

[Big O]

Does anyone here know how much the original 1997 version of this game is worth factory sealed?

[PapaStu]

It's price has dropped big time over the last few years thanks to the Atari re-print. It should still pull at least 50-100 if it were to go up at the right time, but opened copies have gone into the dumper (I got mine for 30 just over a year ago) so thats probably gone into the dumper a bunch as well.

Buyatari foolishly had one listed on ebay for $399. Needless to say he didn't get any bids. Like you said Papastu, the only time that game saw those kind of numbers was before the Atari reprint. It's no longer considered rare when you can buy the reprint factory sealed for $10. But I agree, it should still net you $50-125, but any more than that and someone is wasting their money.

It was 20 cent day. Listing things I have no intention to sell is not foolish. I've raised it to an artform. Are you the guy who tried to get me to sell it for $50 while the auction was up?

Anyway I see the original release as a big sleeper. Its still very hard to find sealed and could be the hardest ps1 game to find factory sealed. Dragonball was a big impact on children who grew up during that time period and they will remember trying to get ahold of this game. They used to call my store all day long looking for it. I got more calls for that than I did for the Nintendo Wii. While this title did fall out of favor with the reprint when people finally attempt to collect every ps1 game ever made this will be one of the last will need. Its not down for the count its still a PS1 grail.

You have a sealed USA copy for sale at $100 I'll buy it.

Well atleast you didn't waste any money on the listing fees, lol. And no, I didn't try to buy it from you. I knew it would still be yours when your auction ended. As for this being a holy grail--not anymore. Although not as common as most PS1 games, it's much more readily(and now affordably)available than it was 5-7 years ago. You can still find it, just not sealed(very often). I remember two years after the reprint came out a factory sealed one went for $60. I'm glad I didn't buy it because it really isn't worth that much anymore. Above I said it should go for $50-125 but I seriously doubt there are that many people out there that would pay $125 or more for it. I'm a hugh DBZ fan but I wouldn't pay more than $40 for a sealed copy.

I've been around along time and watched items go up and down. Trust me on this one. This one won't be cheap forever. If you can find one for 40 bucks buy it now. You can more than double by reselling to me today.

I stand by my statement. A sealed original release is a grail. Its true it has cooled off and no one is looking at the moment but they will. Now is the time to buy. There are just not enough to go around for all the DBZ or PS1 collectors. Once they all try to go out and find one the price will reflect it.

I'm definitely with Buyatari on this one... if it's at a low now take advantage of that, because the game is incredibly hard to find. REAL collectors know the difference between this and the Atari re-release and eBay simply confuses the matter, two factors that will ultimately raise the original release quite highly on PS1 collectors' sought-after lists.

If Joe said it than it's gotta be true. And I do have a copy, just not a sealed one. I think that if the DBZ movie ever comes out it will definitely go up in price, even the unsealed ones.

Complete ones will be worth something too one day but just try to find a sealed one now if the price is low. IMHO anything under $100 is a steal. After looking for a bit you will see they are very rare at any price.

how does one differentiate between the original copy and the re-release?

Simple. The original release was by Bandai - the rerelease was by Atari. The original release had Goku on the cover looking all constipated and stuff, and the rerelease has him in his SSJ4 form, with a huge chimp in the background.

Game Rave has a picture of both for comparison.

Lol at constipated.

It was a BIN

Notice that all the buyer is buying are Dragon Ball Games ???

I should offer to sell him mine.

[Buyatari]

Yes you are right an opened copy was won by the same bidder at just over $100.

Looks like that one was a BIN too (at 105 and change). Possibly another lets list it high, its only 20cent listing day fun?

Doesn't matter to me if its going back up or not, I've got my copy.

The second one was an auction with a ridiculous starting bid that the buyer still decided to bid on.

In my opinion, it is worth over $100 but there is also no way it is worth the $300 this one sold for. Somewhere in between ($200 or so).

This was my thinking too, just because of how much demand it has lost over the years. But others think it's a nice long term investent.
