I was told by someone via pm you guys think im looking to unload it for cash. I can assure you I'm not. My buddy has a huge sega collection from doing tag sales. He told me to figure out what its worth and he will trade me sega stuff of equal value.
He has a crusader of centy i desperately want. Was hoping this may be up in the 300$ range so i can just add cash for that game.

If I was going to resell wouldn't I have just put it on eBay with like a 200$ reserve?
I collect. I don't scalp my fellow people. (http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu138/Lelouch_Rebellion/Mobile Uploads/IMG_20160103_023639_zpsdqnj0rpw.jpg) (http://s641.photobucket.com/user/Lelouch_Rebellion/media/Mobile Uploads/IMG_20160103_023639_zpsdqnj0rpw.jpg.html)

Alright. I guess I did something wrong. Glad to see everyone acting mature.
Welcome to the internet.
We prolly act like children because we honestly do not know. Worth is what you can get, sealed random game might not be documented as much as Drac X or even MC. Dragons Curse is is(was) available on Virtual Console for $7 so there is a start. Retail was $50 like punk said in '91...calculate inflation: $87. Being sealed does not have as much importance in this group for the most part, there may be other forums that put more "value" on sealed games.
Personally, if I had two sealed copies of Dragons Curse, I'd put it on eBay to avoid the crap on here. Have you pieced out the lot you bought per item to give your actually cost? That would give you a starting value, and just ask double. 100% return is pretty good in this financial market.

You will find most people here support the "open it and play it" vs the "collectard" mentality. Most people here, I find also will not pay an absurd price for a game they can get for much less opened and in good condition.
This community supports each other I have found. In terms of raffles giving away games that you are looking (hoping) to be worth $300 sealed. So of course you might not get the best treatment out of the gate.
Just remember, it's just material, it's worthless junk to most everyone in the world. It's only worth something to those that "collect". But to people that would like to enjoy those games they may offer some money toward it but not what you would want. So the price here, is exactly what PunkicCyborg said, $49.95 new unless you can find an idiot to pay more.

I collect and I game.
I only have a few sealed titles. Every other game in my library I have played or have the intentions to.
Also like I stated. Wasn't looking to sell it. Honestly have someone willing to trade games I need for my Genesis collection.
As for the collectard thing. I get that. I wouldn't pay 200$ for a sealed game either. I dont even pay retail for newly released ps4 games. I'm that cheap.
But I came across that lot. I bought it for cheap. So it didn't hurt me to pick it up

Nobody here has any insight into the value of such a thing. We regularly rail at eBay prices. This community is about playing games and internal selling. Questions like "what is the value of x" go over about as well as a lead balloon, in part because nobody wants to answer a question like that, and in part because few here really know. We could probably tell you what a chip-only copy would be worth, but not sealed.

@OP, the crap you ran at NG.com alone leaves you in the dust here. If I were you, you might just want to crawl back into whatever hole you crawled out of and pretend you never even found this place. Crap like that doesn't give people warm and fuzzy feelings. As for you apologized, good for you, you said something entirely too stupid and ridiculous and people bashed you for it and made you feel like the Jackass that you are, so you apologized because you know you look like the Jackass that you are. Yay! Doesn't mean A.) People have to accept it, so stop saying "I already apologized", and B.) people have to like you and accept that you are a Racist, Homophobic Assclown that said stupid stuff and blew his cover. So please, stop acting like everything is okay and that everything is right as rain.
Lastly, what is the game worth? Hopefully nothing. I'd hate to see another flipper gain something cool out of being a heartless douche bag. I'm tired of seeing cool people getting screwed over or out of stuff by flipper douche's. It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it or trade for it, so instead of asking us, why not just ask your buddy what he's willing to trade for it because the end game is that the value would ultimately be at his discretion, correct? I'd laugh though if he decided it was worth a bag of popcorn and a punch to the face.

You don't have to be literate to know that using idioms you don't understand the workings of is just like...pretending to talk. It's barely speach, more like an animal convincingly imitating a human. Like a cat using a toilet. Well, bad example, since that aparently works. More like those videos of dogs saying "I love you." The owner is delighted, everyone else is horrified or just puzzled.
Btw, I read some of the stuff at NeoGeo.com. Clearly he's a complete prick. Doesn't actually know what "decency" is, probably thinks the guys at NG.com are jealous of his hyper hella common SNES garbage in plastic wrap.

The OP should have gone to some German videogame forums, from my own experience he shouldn't have trouble finding some likeminded greedy collectard people there, who will congratulate him and things like that.
Now I am really serious. I were on some of those forums for years, I won't ever go back to them.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong guys, I don't say they were all like that. But at least the places I went had a pretty high percentage of them. Maybe I were at the wrong places and stayed too long. Or whatever.

Yeah, but keep in mind that it's a Game List, doesn't necessarily mean it's what they have in stock. Still, the prices, for the most part, are quite fair and always have been. Not saying there was never that odd moment though when reading the price list where you go, WTF?

I wouldn't judge someone for collecting sealed shit. I mean how many of you have games just sitting on shelves you never play as well? Once I beat an RPG I put it down. I couldn't play through them a second time. Work limits my time.
Hell I have a few ps4 games still sealed because my time is limited and some games take 20+ hours to beat.
I collect other things like rifles. That only get used 1-2 times a year. Does that mean I should stop collecting them?
None the less I respect your opinions. But calling people out and insulting them just because they find sealed games as a nice display item in the game room is a bit ass backwards.

Why can't you do both? Unseal your minty fresh game & play it, then put that fresh hotness back on your shelf when you're done.
Yes, I collect games, and yes, the majority of them sit unplayed most of the time...but they're there because I like them, and I might like to come back to them later.
The last sealed game I bought was a best-of copy of F-Zero for the SNES. I kept it entombed for a long time, but ultimately I opened it. I wanted the experience of opening & playing a new game (even though I'd played F-Zero prior to then).
It's the people that collect sealed games just to leave them sealed that I don't get. The only purpose for doing that is to ensure the object maintains maximum collectard value.
Despite the bullshit Tool is feeding you, this forum is *not* mostly collectards. We all have a collection, sure, but I can't think of one guy here offhand that buys sealed video games just to hoard them & ultimately sell them.
We all players up in here. Don't hate the player, hate the collectards. Listen to the immortal teachings of Ron Jeremy.

I wasnt listening. I don't care what another man does. I don't have time to judge people for liking something. Unless you're into little kids. Then I got some free time to judge.
I don't care so much about value. I think they look good displayed.
I do get your point. Sitting there sealed I can't even play them. I guess it's like hanging a picture. You can't do much with it. But I'm sure you like looking at it.

That's an interesting analogy. And I did keep that copy of F-Zero sealed for awhile for that very reason...
However, the only reason I bought that copy was because I'm a big fan of the F-Zero series as a whole & having a sealed example of one of the games was exciting to me...but not as exciting as opening the game & pretending to experience it for the first time.
Y'see, pictures you can hang up on the wall & everyone sees them, and everything that can be experienced from those pictures is right there in front of your face. However, if you display a MISB video game, you've basically turned your display into a storefront - nobody that sees it will know what it's like to play the game.
You're better off buying/making some cover art posters of your favorite games, and playing the rest when you can, with that logic. Between my job & my kid, I haven't found as much time to play video games recently either...but if it's something you care about, you make time.
The only conceivable reason I'd see owning video games, but not playing them, is showing off how much self-control you have. It'd be like displaying a hermetically sealed, delicious cake. Sure, it looks tasty, but nobody will ever know that for sure because they can't eat it. All of your friends will be like "omg that looks delicious, how haven't you eaten any yet?"
Every object made by human hands serves some kind of purpose. Sometimes it's just sitting there & being looked at. That's for things like antiques & porcelain dolls. Cars are meant to be driven, toys are meant to be played with, cakes are meant to be eaten, and video games are meant to be played. I never understood the point in collecting any of those things if you can't experience & enjoy them, unless doing so absolutely destroys them.

People collect stamps, cards, weapons, paintings, vinyl, sealed vinyl (cause they have that shit on CDs ffs), posters, sports cards, video games, sealed video games ( I beat this shit so many times that I have sealed version because to me its like a baseball card, its a collectors item), cassettes, underwear, porn, pogs, and the list goes on.
Listen these clowns here, don't let them tell you what to do. They are butthurt because some of the games they wanna play cost too much money and they can never own them because they are such hippocrit collectards themselves. If they wanna play it download an emulator, but NO!!!!! they MUST own it!!!!
I wish I had a Mickey Mantle rookie card. Am I crying about why is it so expensive. These clowns cry everyday about why they never will own Magical Chase or Hero Tomna or something.
Don't open yo shit, Grade your shit!!!! Happy New Year!!!

I wanted the experience of opening & playing a new game (even though I'd played F-Zero prior to then).
what are you? twelve years old? "experience". Listen to yourself you sound ridiculous. What's wrong with playing your used one? The whole "experience" is in the game itself, not fetishly opening and cumming while opening new game, like some dumb geeknerd.
Stop feeding new members this bs. People collect video games. They keep the great stuff sealed because they can frame it, hang it and look at it knowing its worth hundreds or thousands. Like paintings. It's an investment.

Video games are not investments, Tool. If you're allocating your income there in the hopes that one day one of your games are going to fund your retirement, well... never mind, please continue to do that. Good luck with that, actually! Any tips on which games I should be stockpiling? Speaking of which, where's that market report I asked for earlier? I need your insight on where the Turbo market is headed. Thanks!

Because I no longer had a loose copy, you giant douche. Emulate/flash cart all you want, but nothing can replicate the feeling of opening and playing a new game for the first time on a real console. That is the only reason to collect sealed video games, for me. You do what you like with your infinite funds, paying for shit you can't/don't even use.
Honestly, you sound like the 12 year old. Sports cards? You're really comparing video games to sports cards? Seriously, f*ck you. I'm surprised nobody's found a reason to ban your useless ass.

I've played downloaded ISOs of PSP games almost exclusively since getting a PSP Go, yet I always free newly acquired games from their plastic prison. Unless you're worried about maximizing resale value, what's the point of keeping 'em sealed? I can't read the manual if it's sealed, and I can 'display' them without cellophane just as well as with.

You really need to dial it down sometimes Gentlegamer. I think almost every single one of your posts contains the word "collectard".
Take it up with Ron Jeremy.
You know he was paid to say that, right?
I don't think he gives a crap about your collectard fetish.
Are you impugning the integrity of Ron Jeremy?
The workd's most prolific porn star has integrity? I didn't know that.
Did you know that nullity 's sister contacted him to make that video, and he offered to have sex with her after he was paid? Apparently he smelled really bad too.

You didn't get any satisfaction knowing those games hadn't been touched or seen the light of day since they left the proverbial "factory"? I can't be the only one. It feels like f*cking Christmas.
No, I got a lot of satisfaction from it. It was awesome opening up a brand new game and playing it. But the only way to get that feeling is to actually open it up and play it. Letting it sit on the shelf sealed is pointless.

That is me! But let me explain a bit...
When I was younger I would borrow games from a friend and he stored/played them all in the finished basement at his parent's house. His Mom also did laundry in the basement, and it must have been right near the shelf where he kept everything, because all of his game manuals smelled like that odor you associate with clean laundry. Every time I borrowed games from them and got them back to my little house I would open up the manual to smell that amazing scent.
Now I want to find that fabric softener or whatever she used.

Well.. hmm. That depends. Are you sniffing them for utilitarian purposes or is it some sort of.. stimulating response? An inhalation of old memories flooding through your consciousness, the memorable essence of a lost time and place, folded into the-here-and-now; transcending the distance of time and space.. for just the b-r-i-e-f-e-s-t of moments. And the slow exhale of breath climbing over your teeth, dissipating back into the world.. as the residue of memories tingle and prick among the fading sensations of nostalgia. I dunno. Probably something like that, I would imagine.

Haven't had any old book smell. I think the smell comes from moisture causing slight musty smell on older paper. Newer paper seems less likely to develop old smell.
If instruction book smelled like old book, I;d check the game very carefully for corroded contact or other damage.

I'll buy a sealed game if possible every time, but I open them always. I admit they sometimes sit sealed on my shelf until I'm ready to play them. But having everything in nice new condition is great, because I know I'll take care of it. The used game market can be so depressing with all the messed up cartridge stickers, children's names scrawled in marker (or worse, see pic below), missing manuals, missing other stuff like posters, etc. See my recent unboxing of Cosmotank, my mom found for me for Xmas. Pretty cool to open a new GB game, got a poster which I'm gonna frame and hang up for cool game room decor. I've already played it a couple times and I know it will stay in nice condition for as long as the sands of time will let it. I just think keeping games sealed is a shame. Of course you can emulate in many cases, but one thing I've found is with an unlimited pool of free games, you tend not to want to play any of them. If you carefully acquire just the ones you really want one at a time, you will give them a little more love and attention.
I think everyone here is aware of the supply and demand issue concerning classic games. There's a finite supply and keeping games sealed or worse (VGA graded) relegates them to the status of currency, functionally no different than a $50 or $100 bill, to be passed around and fetishized but never actually used for it's intended purpose. It's a free market though, and if you buy em' sealed, you're free to display them that way. I do think there's a degree of fetishism no matter what, I basically described that above. But get the full use out of your purchase! It can still be kept in nice condition after opening it. And emulation isn't the answer for everything. NEC emulation is pretty good, but I'm sure a few people could point out weird issues with certain games. Saturn emulation blows. N64 emulation blows. Just sayin'.
Title: Re: Dragon's Curse Value new sealed?
Post by: obey my ego on January 06, 2016, 05:02:50 PM
I agree. Emulation blows. But ever drives use real hardware. No issues yet.
I will probably open my other dragon's curse and play it. I can't afford to pay 189 for a open complete copy.
As for my other sealed games. I plan on trading them for open copies of games I can play. The only game I will keep that is sealed is truxton. That game means a lot to me. It was the last game I played with my uncle before his passing.

If you open every single sealed retro game out there, you are destroying rare relics and artifacts. In 100 years all you will see is crappy pos cartridges. They won't be anything special at all.
If you dig a hole in a desert in Egypt and pull out a shit load of Ancient Egyptian jewelry and you act like a moron saying no i'm gonna wear it or i'm gonna let my girlfriend wear it (most likely you don't have one). Instead of submitting that relic jewelry to museum, BUT NO!!! It must be worn, must be played with like a sack of nuts. Get over yourself, people will always collect rare sealed games and will always keep those artifacts SEALED.
Bottom line is, stop shitting on every member that joins who wants to collect rare sealed games because they already have unsealed versions of those same games.

You do realize that nearly all games will have died the bit-rot death - compact disc or rom. It'll happen inside a sealed box just as much as a loose cart or disc. So what does it matter in 100 years???
This is why emulation is important; it preserves this art form and a piece of culture. In the grand scheme of things, given that functionality is waayy more important than the physical display of the item, sealed copies contribute to nothing. The most important thing is the experience of playing the game, and that's what emulation strives to accomplish, even when people think an emulator is 100% - emulation authors are still striving for that last 1 to 2% accuracy. Clearly you haven't thought this through. Game experience > than a sealed game.
The only reason you put so much importance on a sealed game, vs an opened game, is because of how important it makes you feel. Nothing more, nothing less.

The real collector will insist on the full master case of three boxes of games.

I did appreciate those who gave me helpful advice.
Blows when you are trying to start over from a f*ck up and everyone would rather bash you.
The thread is dead, I know, but I've been too busy to respond...
Anyway, I found this post amusing because it gives insight into the broken mind of someone who's completely bought into the wannabe reality TV flipper mindset of collectard pricks. He thinks he "made a mistake" and he's trying to restore his rep, that the problem is that he dropped an N bomb on the Neo forums. But, I knew he was as a$$hole from his very first post and I knew nothing about the guy or his history on any forum so...it's probably not a detail from one thread that tips people off. It's probably something that is obvious in every thread, and probably a lot of places in life. I'm sure a number of people in this fellow's life think he stinks as a person.
Somewhere in this thread there is either this f*ck or Tool comparing a sealed game to a painting, completely betraying these people's psychic tone deafness. Let me explain...
...a game is one of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands or even millions) and the real work was making the software, something that can't even be seen or even verified to exist if the box is sealed. The visible part is a cheap (SNES especially) box with a bunch of dumb logos on it and some (usually) pretty lame art work dulled by shrink wrap. The people who made...Sim City for SNES, or whatever, really just wanted someone I play the thing.
...a painting is UNIQUE. Even a shitty painting, even the painting of a five year old child, even something produced in series, even forgeries, all are unique. What makes them unique is generally all out there to see when it hangs on the wall and staring at them while doing nothing else is generally the way they are enjoyed.
Now, just to be clear, I'm not saying that everyone who collects vintage F1 steering wheels has to attach them to a car and go racing every weekend, things like that which have historical or personal significance that completely overwhelms the once practical use of the relic. For example, the Brittish museum doesn't need to have an actual mummy in every Egyptian sarcophagus they have for the patrons to get something about of their visit. Clearly at some point history takes over. Ancient pottery won't hold water anymore.
However, SNES games aren't there yet. Maybe a prototype Pong machine or something, sure, but a SNES game is just a super mass produced piece of cheap plastic, and I'm a pretty big lover of the SNES.
EDIT: if someone collected paintings and hung them in his personal museum with all the faces of the paintings towards the wall so that he couldn't tell what they were...that would be in line with sealed game collectarding. Only in the way it's presented though, the two are nothing alike aside from that.

^ hey collectard!!! there are plenty of threads on this forum where people are fetishly proud of their boxes. I see regular members here including the ones in this thread that fetishly are proud of their collections, boxes, sealed items etc. Your entire post is all contradictory hypocrisy.
I should not post for like a week or two because obviously you all unite to flame on. I liked it better when you were all eating each other. It was amusing.
P.S. I was never part of a NeoGeo forum, nor did I ever call anyone in my life an N word. You have a wrong guy.

Just a temporary ban. A condition of his return should be that he has to respond to that Fighting Street thread. (https://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji38.png)
A very neo-geo.com move, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Can you lock him in Fighting Street so he can't view other subforums?

I'm sure that will be in people's minds the next time someone here raffles off a double of something.
I guess we all contribute to the world in some way. You can't have Gallant without Goofus, right?
