its not very valuable.Originally Posted by Kitsune Sniper
many of the popular D&D games has special edition, which are rare, but not that pricey.
Gold Edition of Bauldur's Gate however is both, very rare, and very expensive.
for pc games though, there really arent any rare AND valuable games. the only thing that can really raise the price is the original packaging, since almost everyone threw out hte big boxes, a complete game (regardless of how common) can be very hard to find and therefor valuable.
duke nukem 3d: 1$
duke nukem 3d complete big box: 20$+
thing is, if a game was rare, and popular, the company printed more, quickly, since there are no minimum print runs for pc and no royalties. if a game is rare and sucked, well no one will care and its worthless.
the amount of games for pc is so huge that any kind of actual tracking would probably be impossible since anyone can release a game without any authorization etc.
i collect pc games, rpgs mostly, and let me tell you, the hardest and most expensive games are the complete big box games of popular/good games. not necessarily rare. some of course ARE rare, and those can go up even higher in price. but the demand for them is small. most people either 1) dont care and just want any version to play or 2) arent even aware of their existence. complete copies of fallout 1, 2 and lucasarts adventure games will run a LOT more than the near worthless dragon edition of Ultima 9 (a shitty game, btw)
