    Default The single most valuable video game you sold or traded?

    what was the single most valuable videogame that you sold or traded?
    Do you regret it?
    Was it worth it?
    or were you happy with the sale and/or trade?
    I sold a MINT condition copy of PANZER DRAGOON SAGA along with my Saturn model 2 U.S. ver and my whole collection for DREAMCAST money before its launch now dont get me wrong the DC was worth every penny but DAMN I cant believe I left PDS in with all my other games when i sold my beloved Saturn

    I haven't sold anything valuable. :P Once I get my paws on something valuable, I hold on to it forever. o_o

    My boyfriend has seen a lot of rare games come and go, though. I know he bought and sold Dragon Ball GT Final Bout at least once (twice, I think). He only got about 35 bucks when he sold it, haha. That was back when it was relatively new, though, so it didn't have much value then. He doesn't care much that he got rid of it since the game sucks anyway. He also FOUND a Turbo Duo and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood when he moved into some new apartment building. The Turbo Duo met its sad fate to a falling TV. With nothing to play it on, he sold Rondo. He got more for it than Dragon Ball, but it was still nothing compared to what you can rake in on eBay for it now. He's also sold off plenty of SNES games, including RPGs.

    I traded a copy of Radiant Silvergun to someone on this board. I didnt regret it because i had 2 copies of it and I got a couple of great games in return.

    I recently sold an NES Game Action Replay to a fellow member here for $50. I kind of regret it now that I saw it go for $200 on ebay, but whatever.

    I knew it was going to erase itself anyway.

    Sold Beatmania IIDX 4th Style for around $80. Don't really regret it cuz it's not as good as the rest, and that's what I paid for it, and it bought me a Pop'n controller.

    I have many regrets:

    Trading Psychic Assassin Taromaru ($220 game. Why didn't I check ebay?!?) + 4 other Saturn games for a LOOSE Turbo Duo System

    Selling Keio Flying Sqaudron for $20 and trading my expensive Sega CD RPGs for some cheap 'crap' and a fake Coleco Protoype.

    A few years ago, I'd say about 4-6, when I traded in shitloads of my NES games to funcoland for money for my DC + N64 things. I mean everything I traded in I regret because lost money on everything, and spent like 4 times as much getting it back.
    But the games that stick out the most and really hurt were:
    Mega Man 1-6
    Dragon Warrior 3 + 4
    Final Fantasy

    I know there were a couple more that really stuck out but can't remember. I didn't get shit in trade in value for these games!!! Lost all kinds of money, but I was broke and needed new N64 things! (Like Zelda:Ocarina of Time)

    Probably the rarest game I ever got rid of was a mint complete copy of Tactics Ogre for PSX. I saw it in a mom and pop store and bought it for the express reason of selling it on eBay, but just the same if I could do it over again I would have kept it. I know that isnt very juicy or anything but its the best I can do. I dont generally get rid of games unless they are doubles.

    Rodland, Mr Gimmick, and Devil World, loose, and Trolls in Crazyland complete.

    Unlike others, I can't say that it was a mistake.

    I once traded a girl a copy of Bubble Bobble 2 for Chrono Cross when it was new. My NES hadn't worked in years and I got the game in a bundle at a garage sale, bad trade in retro spect but I discovered later I liked Bubble Bobble 1 a lot better anyway and I now own that. So no I'm not kicking myself in the pants over it or anything.

    Otherwise I don't sell my games, I've pretty much kept every game I've ever bought. Replaced a few that were in bad shape however.

    I sold a sealed Mtn Bike Rally / Speed Racer for about $350

    Also sold a DBZ Final Bout for $230

    Don't regret either at all.

    Hmmmm...the most valuable console game I ever sold was a factory sealed Steam Hearts for PC Engine. I got $300 for it...don't regret it one bit. That game sucks.

    As for most valuable EVER....I had a 2 player Joust pinball cocktail machine (in rough shape) worth about $2000 that I sold as part of a large arcade lot for $10,000, and so I sold the $2000 Joust machine for around $200 because I sold everything in a huge lot. I DO regret that. Coolest pinball game ever...VERSUS pinball...2 player simultaneous *sniff*

    I think mine's pretty lame, lol. I sold a complete (sans overlays) copy of Diner for Intellivision actually just about 1 hour ago. R7's are the rarest I have in my collection, just a few. Kinda regret it since I only payed 5 bucks but bills needed to be payed and I had no system to play it on and it didn't thrill me much on emulation.

    I buy and sell a lot of games, but most of them I sell are used and I get only average prices for them.

    I've sold PC games for good prices -- FF7, FF8, Gabriel Knights Collection, Axis and Allies: Iron Blitz, King's Quest Collection (all of those for around $60-90) but I think the most I ever got a video game was $50.

    I traded in "Final Fantasy 2" and "Shining Force" in at a local game store.

    Do i regret it? No i dislike RPG's and i got them (cheap) for the sole purpose of selling them on Ebay or something. Since the market for FF2 wasnt so good it went towards "Sonic Adventure 2" and "Shining Force" netted me a Saturn Backup Cart"

    Zero regrets for trading away those things.

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    I need to get mine to ebay quick!! I got mine for free and have never used it. I didn't think these went for so much . Any input from some fellow users?

    I sold both Snatcher (Sega CD) and a Namco Museum Vol 2 for $78 and $85 respectively. I wish I could have kept them both.
