Dear God. Can't you provide links so we don't have to hunt down what you're talking about?!

If you go to completed items and look at other PS1 Game Sharks you will see identical ones selling for $6 and $7. This is probably a fluke, although the most recent versions of Game Shark that came out on the PS1 are worth a bit. They don't make them any more, you see.


Okay, the GBA Gamesharks are bringing some coin, again I believe it's because they are in demand and not made any more. The Codebreaker dsics for both PS1 and PS2 have been worth something for a while. I've sold loose copies of v9.0, v7.0, and v9.1 on PS2 for like $50, and that's nothing because the pre-v10 versions don't have the special features. IIRC the Codebreaker discs themselves are no longer made, but they have a thriving active community of people who still use them.

Hope that helps.

Yeah I got distracted sorry. I did notice that the description on the $99 one more detailed but these things are things I have been too lazy to throw away and at this price I could sell them for at least $150 if I can find my other one.

I believe there's a number of expensive or rarer cheat devices. Try to look around for these.

US Gamecube Gameshark older revisions
US GBC Gameshark Pokemon Crystal edition
PAL Master System Action Replay
PAL SNES Action Replay MK3
Famicom Game Genie

Well, the SNES PAR is explainable because it's a rare and supposedly the only version that can break region-locking on some games (including the high-demand Terranigma PAL).

[theclaw]

Well yeah. Also Japanese market devices are by default at least somewhat hard to find. If mainly because most sellers in Japan don't bother offering them for western buyers.

[SparTonberry]

I never heard of a "Famicom Game Genie". The only Famicom game enhancer I've heard of was known as the FC Rocky, and supposedly that was only made like a decade after the FC was discontinued. So, pretty niche product there.

[theclaw]

Indeed. Famicom Game Genie was released in apparently South America. Not Japan, obvious from lack of Japanese packaging.
Also cannot be identified by its boxart...
