I'm thinking of selling some sealed games. WARNING: for the weak of heart

[mobiusclimber]

Here's a recent sale for MKR sealed: Ebay.

[Tokimemofan]

I've seen Magic Knight Rayearth go for $80 in the wild, new. The market was flooded with this and a few other Working Designs titles 4 years ago when the company died.
Edit: Digimon and Zelda are extremely common and I doubt that they are worth more than $20 and $40 respectively

[jcalder8]

Man, it's starting to sound like I should just open this crap up and keep it, if they only go for what CIB copies go for.

If that's what you're thinking of doing I'd suggest trading them. Keep the sealed games sealed.

Digimon World 3 is worth more than $20 opened.

You should open them and play them how games are meant to be used. Give all the sealed collectors a heart attack.

If you do this, you have to record the unsealing on YouTube. You just have to.

[Lanzo]

hmm. Ya I don't know pricing too well but if I recall about a month ago someone on these forums said they picked up a sealed copy of OOT collectors sealed for 60. Probably had to do some searching.

Yes, but to put it up on YouTube you'd have to immediately light the games on fire after unsealing them

Digimon World 3 is worth more than $20 opened.

Seems you're right looks like both of the titles I added are worth $50-60 new.

Yeah I think I paid $53 last year at open auction for my Majora's Sealed and it doesn't have any tears in the shrink and very minimal wear at all. Maybe a very slight crushing on one side.

They really barely break $70 at auction no matter how MINT they are, it's not a rare title.

A sealed Zelda OoT is probably $125 is in the gray cart form. In the Collector's edition, a non-seamed version is around $200-$250 and a seamed version is probably double that.

whats a seamed version?

Well, since I'm getting such conflicting info (some at 2k monies others at not much over $200 monies) I'll say what I was thinking price per game was then everyone can say how bad I'll be price gouging.

Digimon World 3___$60~$80 (I don't really know on this one but I do know CIB goes for $25~$40)

Zelda___________$80~$100 (a very maximum wear, sun faded one went for $70 on Ebay)

Phantasy Star 3__$??? (I have no clue on this one there's a sun faded VGA 9.0 for $450 so IDK maybe I'll VGA it and say $250)

Magic Knight Ray_$120~$150 (I've been keeping up with Victor Ireland's Ebay sales and if he had anything at $100 in the last 3 years I would have got it, most of his sealed games are reserved at $200 or more.)

Keio____________$250~$300 (maybe more I think the reason it goes for under that sometimes is it's so under the radar people don't know or think to look for it)

MKR used to be less (50-70) when there was still new old stock around on ebay, obviously its jumped up in price since those auctions dried up.

There was a guy about 4 years back that had a stock of old Sega CD games including several sealed KEIOs. I won two copies for 220.00 and 176.00. He sold several others, not sure the amounts but I think they were in the 160.00 to 250.00 range.

Yea, that's probably who I got mine from he put a new one up every few weeks but like MKR all that has dried up.

So is ebay still the way to go with sealed games? Or is it all about Amazon these days?

Sorry for that, I was just overwhelmed by the items in the post. XD

It's okay, as you can see with the prices that I put I don't think they're even near 1k but I do think they will/ should go for more than the same games open go for.

My vote goes for Amazon. Most sealed stuff I get in sells fairly quickly and for prices that would make Ebay store owners w/ high BINs blush.

Everything N64 seems to be pretty common and even to find sealed. Hell, I bought a nearly-sealed Majora's Mask of these very forums - some years ago but still. Also have bought & opened a Perfect Dark within the last couple of years.

That's a bad example, Perfect Dark is probably the most available Sealed N64 title there is and is only worth about $10. That's like me saying "Everything SNES seems to be pretty common sealed" and then listing F-Zero and Space Invaders as my examples.

whats a seamed version?

Zelda OoT Collector's Edition came with two different seals. One with the traditional Vertical-Seam that you expect on most SNES and N64 sealed titles (N64 seals are complicated), and one without the seam. The V-Seam versions are much harder to find and worth at least 2-3x the value of the non-seamed version.

Non Seamed just ended on eBay for $178:

Mine (with the V-Seam) is not for sale, but would probably grade VGA 85 and I've turned down offers above $500 for it.
