Title: Sealed games
Post by: Vimtoman on December 27, 2015, 11:43:45 AM
I cant believe I've just done this but I've Just bought three sealed hucard Games. I've only done this once in the 26 years of collecting PC engine games. That was when I bought Soldierblade when it came out and I opened it straight away and played it.
I've bought and sold my collections three times now and thought the bug had gone and then this year It hit me once again. I've bought consoles I've never had and that's great.
But never sealed copies.
What do I do when I get them?

Same thing we all do, play them.
You can shoot a video of opening and playing them though.

Do whatever you want. Personally, I don't care at all.
If you don't want to open it, I guess you could sell it and then buy an opened copy. Might get a few bucks out of it.

I've bought two or three people's PCE "collections" over the years, but have never sold all of my games.

And I trust you give them an adequate amount of love. <3

Back when I was a broke student I used to buy in and sell out of a console one or two at a time pretty much, but now that I don't have to do that anymore it's much better. I dread to think of how much money I wasted trading stuff in to a local game store.
@OP: Open em.

Did all Turbo games cases have the clear plastic holder thingy?
You mean the hang tab thingy? Based on stuff I bought new, I think all the jewel case titles did but not the cardboard boxes.

Every format got some hang tabs, but many copies didn't. Kinda like the CD2 stickers on Turbo CD games. The only standard definitive outer packaging is the shrinkwrap and cellophane. Without that, no opened copy is truly complete. There are also hundreds of price tag variants out there.

As Black Tiger said, make a goofy video where you open the sealed game(s).
That was brilliant. I'm sure a collector had an aneurism while watching this.
I have several genuinely rare games that I plan to open and play as part of a video series. Before destroying each copy by opening them, I will give a market analysis of their potential value for flipping as-is and after having them graded.

Yes! I can't wait.

I bought that horrible yet cheap brand new copy of Sonic Spike Amazon when they had a whole bunch. Only brand new turbo game I've ever owned. I think it'll remain NOS till the end of time.
I believe diskounters on Amazon still has a few for $9.99. http://www.amazon.com/sp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B000FN946S&isAmazonFulfilled=0&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=A3HF9YROFSMDAQ&tab=&vasStoreID=
