    Default Need advice on ebaying old computers rpgs

    Hello, I have'nt posted in forever (and honestly my posts always sucked anyways) but I need a little advice and I am sure someone here can help me. I have a box of old computer games, most seem complete, 1 seems to actually have 2 copies inside and I dont want or need them. I sell all my doubles of video games on ebay along with some other crap to support my collecting but I have no clue as to what to sell these for. I wanted to sell them as a lot but then I thought maybe someone searching for a specific title would overlook it. Of course they may all be worthless to. Any advice on if any of these are any good? They are all PC games. Thanks in advance if any one cares to share.

    They are:
    1.Wizard Wars
    2.Castles
    3.Kings Quest - Quest for the Crown
    4Lancelot
    5.Questron II
    6.AD&D Champions of Krynn
    7.AD&D Heros of Lance

    Griking should know if his room is anything to go by:

    Failing that, a Finnish guy called Jukka collects all kinds of computer RPGs and has a pretty sizeable collection, too. I'm sure he would be interested if you want to get rid of them:

    I'd be interested myself.

    Though this belongs in Buying & Selling forum. Not that I mind

    PC games generally don't really demand the high prices that older console games do. But like any other platform there ARE some grails out there. Sadly it doesn't appear that you have any of them.

    There are a lot of factors involved like consoles as well such as what computer platform are they for(PC, Mac, C64, Atari...), who the developer is, are they complete, condition, and so on. There's no real price guide but here's what I'd expect to pay for each of the games that you listed assuming good condition and complete. Of course, you can throw these prices out the window if you find a few bidders who need one of these for their collection and get into a war.

    They are:
    1.Wizard Wars
    No Clue (this is the only on the list that I don't have and aren't familiar with).

    2.Castles
    $5.00

    3.Kings Quest - Quest for the Crown
    $20

    4Lancelot
    $5

    5.Questron II
    $10

    6.AD&D Champions of Krynn
    $10

    7.AD&D Heros of Lance[/quote]
    $10

    I wasnt sure where to put this question, but I do appreciate the help. At least with video games I can look through the guides and the completed auctions. I am clueless about these. I probably will just put them in buying and selling but I have never done that before. Figured I would research a little first.

    I'd agree with the prices posted. And if the games can still run on a modern computer, that helps with price and selling them. Plus if the games are complete it also helps.
