Check on Ebay. Everyone has an account. Even Amazon or Half.com. Some people I swear live in the stone age of online retailers.

Ebay and the likes tend to be swarmed with professional retailers who are waiting for Mr. Right to buy their overpriced titles - thats why I am asking at the heart of PC Engine gaming :)

Well, if they are selling, then obviously people are willing to pay whatever amount it sells for. Just saying.

I'd say maybe $175 for Sylphia and $350 for Sapphire.  Are you actually selling 'em, or can we look forward to you asking again in four years?

So what?  The money at least has a chance of being useful, and maybe they'd go to someone that'll set them free from their plastic prisons.

As they're both factory sealed in this case the Sylphia is worth more than the Sapphire.
A factory sealed Sapphire is much more common than a factory sealed Sylphia.

FREEDOM!  No PCE game should be left in the plastic. Games are meant to be played damn it!

That goes for ANY video game...

I knew this person was bragging the moment I read the thread title. It's clearly obvious he's not even thinking about selling because who doesn't know what is a common game and what is a rare game without doing some research online.

I collect sealed games, and so I can sympathize a little bit and can see both sides of "Games are meant to be played", but part of my hobby, besides playing games, is collecting sealed games and even in some cases, not even playing the sealed games ever in any form (buying their used counterpart). I don't regret it at all. I think of it as a showpiece, so to speak.

Just the way it goes!

Funny, after reading your post I checked his history. He's been here a long time, but sadly all about selling, eBay spamming, or 'what's my stuff worth' now. No interest in the community.
