People will crap on paying 200 dollars for a physical game then turn around and buy a collector edition online store for 100 dollars to play it 12 hours early then spend 200 in micro transactions and say you're wasting money forgetting you can sell it and get your money back they can't

Got Panzer Dragoon Saga about 6 years ago. It was going for $700 at the time and a local guy sold it to me for half that. He just had a baby and needed quick cash. Worth $1000 now and it’s incredibly minty.

I found Silent Hill for $1 at a yard sale. Definitely in my top 10.

My most expensive game is Castlevania Dracula X CIB on the SNES. Back in 2015 I decided to get every Castlevania games released in north america. One day in 2018, I met a friend that recently closed his video game store at the time. He knew I was collecting Castlevania games and told me he has the box for Dracula X and he would sell it to me for $160 CAD. And from there, I pieced together the cartridge, the manual and all the inserts. All in good to great condition. In total it cost $500 CAD for everything and as of today I have every Castlevania games CIB released in north america.

That Silent Hill(s) Grab was EPIC. Nicely Done. Tip of the hat. 🎩

It’s Kuon on the PS2, I found a lot of OG Xbox games on FB marketplace and I reached out to the person and didn’t hear back for 2 weeks. I actually forgot about it. We went back and forth and then she said she had other games that weren’t listed and sent a pic of them and there it was, Kuon in the middle of a pile of games like it was an average game. I asked her how much for everything and she said $350 (it was about 30 games total) I agreed no problem. After keeping what I wanted and flipping the rest I actually made about $50 and added a PS2 grail.

Halo 3 Legendary edition - Around £200 but it does come with a Master Chief helmet!

My best story is: I bought a used PlayStation 1 on eBay. The console was in a bad condition and didn’t want to open. I wanted to send it back but then I did get to open it and found Suikoden 2 in it! Worth 120€ here in Germany. What a treasure box! Of course I kept the damn console but especially the game!

You guys nailed it. It is all about the story. I went to a community garage sale and got Ninja Gaiden 2 and 4 NES controllers for $5. The lady said her son was supposed to be there selling his video game stuff, however he decided to go off with friends for the weekend and she just wanted rid of everything. My regret, I should've just offered her a lump sum and taken the whole box. But now watching guys like you I am much wiser. Keep up the good content fellas. Cheers

Only three games in my collection are above the $200 mark. 3) Custer’s Revenge CIB for Atari 2600, 2) Godzilla CIB for PS4, 1) Devil’s Third CIB for WiiU. Best deal was on Godzilla; it was sitting on the preowned shelf at GameStop with a clearance sticker on it. Out the door for about $15.

Sometime in the mid 90’s my brother came home and tossed me a new copy of Earthbound. It turns out due to the lack of sales Best Buy had a ton of copies they were selling for $10.00. I still have the game and guide.

Awesome vid as usual, fellas. I don’t have anything TOO crazy price-wise, but my most expensive game is a CIB Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance on Gamecube. Ugh, Gamecube prices. 😭

My most expensive is Super Metroid CIB. I bought the loose cart first from a dude in a FB group, then I got the manual on a SNES manuals lot and the box from Ebay. Ended up paying in total $115. Worth 275-350 nowadays

I love when my wife and I find expensive games at garage sales and thrift stores. Got some rippers in my collection and also have sold some rippers to fuel the collection 🤘🍻🤘

Current most valuable game: I recently found a near mint CIB copy of Def Jam Fight for NY for PS2 at a thrift store. Paid $0.25 currently worth $165.

Power blade 2 for $3 at a flea market as a kid will probably be my coolest snag

It's always cool to reflect on the value of these games in a collection. Personally my pricey games are Resident Evil 7 collectors edition, still brand new in the box and House of the Dead for the saturn. RE7 sold out before i could buy it retail, so i waited until i found a new one at slightly more than retail. HOTD was a game that i scored on ebay in the middle of the day during an auction for $46 years ago.

Here is the top 10 games in value according to Price Charting in my Collection. 1). NWC Grey #143 (NES) 2). Blockbuster World Championship II (Gensis) 3). NES Lottery Cart (NES) 4). Stadium Events (NES, loose) 5). Air Raid (Atari 2600, loose) 6). Zelda Test Cart (5 screw) 7). Daytona USA Championship (Net Link) (Sega Saturn, CIB) 8). Zelda Test Cart (3 screw) 9). Nintendo 64 Test Cart (Rev B) 10). Outback Joey (Genesis, loose) I have been collecting since 2001 when I was a freshman in Highschool. At the start of COVID 2020, I had 3k+ games in my collection. During COVID, I sold a vast majority and now have around 50 items left, with all of them holding some historical significance in gaming history.

I don't have many opportunities around here to visit gaming conventions or have many facebook marketplace sales, but one of my coworkers sold me an atomic purple gameboy color and 3 games (1 was super mario deluxe) for $40. Worth $80. One of his son's was demolishing an abandoned building where some crackheads were living, and found it there. Good condition.

Sculptors cut bought for $150 in 2012 and cib mint Chrono trigger I got in a lot years ago

Got my copy of Jack Bros. For the Virtual Boy at Blockbuster. My Grandpa bought me the system and a bunch of games when they were selling off all the VB stuff. I think I was 7 or 8 at the time and wouldn’t realize the gem I had till many years later. It’s definitely the most valuable game I own now!

Tetris on the game boy lolzz 🦎🦎

A GameCube with the official component cable at a Goodwill in Pasadena, CA for 29.99 was best pick up I had.

Being in the UK, while none are over a hundred pounds, I did buy Snake, Rattle and Roll and Battletoads for the mega drive as I find it interesting to see 90s games by Rare on a Sega machine - and they have risen since I got them a few years ago. Also I still have Final Fight CD from growing up- remember buying it for eight pounds brand new in the 90s so that is quiet good value now

There is nothing better than finding a ripper in the wild. Stop at EVERY garage sale you see, people! You never know what’s waiting for you. Probably just a puzzle and some Xmas decorations but it could be Earthbound! 🤘

My most expensive is Panzer Dragoon Saga. After hearing how good it was, I picked it up for $350 several years ago, thinking I could sell it after I beat it if I needed to. I'm really glad I got it then rather than now for $1000. Chrono Trigger is also up there. I called my local Target almost every day back in late 1995 or early 1996, and one day they finally had it. I had to sell my CIB EarthBound to pay for it. Finally the first Persona game on PS1. I picked it up for $50 at my local used game shop maybe 8 years ago, before Persona exploded with P5. It's going for over $300 now.

I bought a collection after a good night of poker at a friend’s house. He knew what he had but I paid about 40-45% for the collection. Several bangers but The Misadventures of Tron Bonne was the jewel! He brought me several nice strategy guides for free the next time I hosted the poker game!

Wii u prices def hiked when the store closing was heavy in the news cycle. Would love to see some more game hunting videos from you guys

A few years ago, I picked up a loose copy of Go Go Hypergrind at a local Goodwill for $2, then later got the case and manual off of eBay for $80.

Most expensive and impressive I've had was Clock Tower 2, got it (and syphon filter) for $20 in college from a friend before he went to jail. Sold it for $600 on Ebay. ^_^

Panzer Dragoon Saga is the most expensive game that I own. Got it back in the early 2000's. Paid 191+ total for it. Boy im glad i got it back then lol

I’m in the minors with mine, but still proud of it. I bought an nes, 60 games, 4 player with 4 controllers, 2 action sticks and snake rattle and roll controllers for 300 bucks about 10 years ago. Ubi softs last crusade was in the collection and game eye claims it as my top game at 175. Followed up by my favorite mk trilogy for Saturn at 150

I wanna say off the top of my head Castlevania Dracula X on the snes I have a loose copy that I bought for $190 at the time and now it’s worth $338 loose

A big takeaway from this video for me is how much fun and exciting it is to hunt and find these in the wild. One of the best feelings as you both know. I have a few of these in your list and (break out the ruler 😂) my most valuable is a sealed Harvest Moon 64 I found in a Toys R Us bargain bin in Buffalo NY in the late 90s. Take care fellas.

You guys make the best videos...hopefully you can keep us entertained for many more years to come! 😁 And nice Metal Jesus Rocks cameo.

I have Rule of rose English version. Now it was banned in England before it was released and the only reason they’re in circulation is because it was given to gaming journalists to review. I paid £1,650 I have seen them go for £5000 😊

Awww sheeeet yall got the tattoo with your cib punisher. $$$$$! Very nice Genesis games you have. And R-type Delta is a real classy title to have. Superb rarity, superb quality.

I think I need to dig through my games and see what I might have! Can't wait to see you guys in a couple weeks at MGC!!!

2 weeks ago i drove an hour out of town for a fb marketplace score! crusader of the centy cib for $300 (cdn) plus about $75 in fuel. not bad for a $1600 game!!

My most expensive is ncaa 14 I used to get every year as a kid even though it’s not valued super high but it’s definitely gained value since I bought it back in 2013

I LOVE episodes like this one! Keep it up boys!

I have Guardian Heroes CIB for the Sega Saturn, years ago a friend was just giving away his Saturn stuff (insane I know but this was before anyone cared about Saturn collecting), I had never heard of the game but thought the cover was cool so I grabbed it and little did I know what it would be worth one day!

I sold my copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga on ebay for 100 bucks when ebay was a very new thing. I had no idea back then they would make games outrageously expensive.

Bucky O' Hare boxed (no manual, can't find it unfortunately). My best friends gave me their entire NES collection around 1996. They had moved onto the N64-playstation-Saturn generation and they said "here you go, enjoy." This is still my all time favorite game from that system. I remember ALL of it was a Christmas gift and I was completely overwhelmed, one of the best gifts I have ever received.

Great video. Love the stories behind the games. In the UK it's so hard to get bargains anymore. I think my biggest win is PAL Megaman X3 on Saturn. I paid £19.99 back in the day after loving X1 on the SNES. Kept hold of it and it's a pretty pricey game now. Not that I'll sell it, the nostalgia means a lot to me.

My top 10 most expensive games in my collection are: Haunting Ground, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, NBA elite 11, legend of heroes 3 song of the ocean, Disney sports basketball, go go hypergrind, fire emblem path of radiance, stunt racer 64, Super bowling, rat attack. Keep in mind, I got some of these on release day for retail price and some were passed down to me. They're all complete and in excellent mint condition

My most expensive game is Pokemon SoulSilver big box CIB, at about 270 - 280ish on pricecharting. Its actually a game I've had since the Christmas the year it came out lol

yes! wiiU follow up vid!

So I bought a huge lot of games about 350 games total and took out the games I wanted and took the rest to a buddy of mine who owns a local game store and let him pick through what I had left. And I ended up with enough trade value to buy his copy of Haunting Ground for the ps2 which is worth $400. 😊 great video guys! Keep killing it! See you at SoCal Expo in June 😊

I think it's a shame that prices on older games are out of control. I remember when snes ,nes,ps2 and 2 were priced fair. Now prices are ruining our hobby.

Mine would be Final Fantsy Pixel remaster ESRB version for PS4. Bought from square enix store for $75 +$25 shipping. Worth $900 now.

I have Castlevania BloodlinesCIB cardboard version . Had no idea it was worth that much. My favorite Castlevania that I've completed

If you guys are trying to value your top 10 games should you include collector's editions or just single games?

If you guys liked The Devil's third, I would recommend Wanted Dead. It's made by the same developers and it plays like a Xbox 360 or PS3 bad action game but it's really fun. There's a ton of weird and wacky collectibles including some really funny mockumentary cooking show videos, yeah it's hard to explain that you just sort of have to play it.

I just love the smell of my game collection in the morning :D

My most expensive game is a CIB copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends for the Gamecube. I wish i had a cool story, but i walked into a gamestore with credit and bought it.

Devils Third is £48 in the UK right now if anyone wants to buy it.

Just to be clear, where you live REALLY matters if you can find games on the cheap (with any kind of consistency). In my area, if you wanna get stuff cheap, you basically have one option: garage sales. And boy do you need to make that basically a weekend job if you wanna get anything out of it. Right before the pandemic, I decided to just for it all summer. I literally went to something like 100 yard/garage sales. Of those visits, I think I found 2 sales that had anything worth mentioning and they were SWARMED by other resellers. I only tell this tale to manage people’s expectations. I do think if you live in the midwest or the south you have a much better chance of finding stuff on the cheap.

My most expensive games; Mega Man X3 Mega Man X2 Mega Man 5 Castlevania Symphony of Ths night (original BL) Castlevania Chronicles Cotton 2 (Saturn) Samurai Showdown Anthology (PS2) Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)

When I was a kid had cleaned yards and mowed lawns to come up with enough money for a new sega cd game. I went to toys are us and was looking over the games I could afford, and was amazed at the art cover for popful mail. If I remember it was 50 dollars. And got that. Who would have thought that game is so expensive now. I got the game cause I wanted to play it and pretty much the only one with a cool art cover. There was I think lunar but looking at the back cover it looked like a side scrolling adventure game which it was, and that sold me on getting it. I still have my original copy from that purchase long ago complete with everything including the sponge thing that I suppose was to help the disc stay in place.

Einhander ps1, radiant silver guy SEGA Saturn, Disney spots basketball GameCube & all version of ncaa football 2014…..nice video guys the best of the best

The most expensive game in my collection is Chrono Trigger for the SNES. The box is in rough shape, but I have the manual and all the inserts. I don't really have an exciting story. It was probably a Christmas gift, back when the game was new. The second most valuable game in my collection is the original Persona for PS1. After playing P5, I wanted to play the earlier Persona games, and had been on the lookout for the first game. I found it in a bargain bin at EB Games! It was something like $10. I knew it was rare, but had no idea how valuable it was until I decided to put my collection on Price Charting and saw what it's going for.

Some of my most expensive are games I got at the end of the 6th gen or for the 6th gen consoles during 7th gen, when people didn't care. Skies of Arcadia for gamecube is up there, as well as RE2 and 3 for gamecube.

I used to work at Fry's Electronics and they got Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition in so I bought. My brother is a big Fire Emblem fan and he lived in Cleveland so I let him borrow it. Well one of his roommates came into his room and stole a bunch of his stuff and one of them ended up being the cartridge for Fire Emblem. So 2 years later and I so that a Gamestop had the special edition cartridge like 70 miles away for $69.99, so I rushed down and bought it.

I bought devils third new at Gamestop but it was "gamestop new". Still complete though

I managed to score Haunting Ground for 15 euros, it was from an old stock at a game store, so it was brand new, sealed:)

Not my most expensive, but I would say as far as rarity I ended up with a loose copy of Musha for the Genesis from a lot of loose carts and manuals back in 2019. Inquired on a Facebook marketplace ad and purchased a lot from this guy and he said he had another handful of games that he would send me pictures of before listing to see if I was interested. Ended up paying $35 or about 12 additional games that being one of them. Wasn’t fully aware of its value until I posted my pick up on Discord. Craziness.

Another great video boys! Don't know exactly which are my most "valuable" games, but 3 quick ones; Afrika on ps3 (got it for $1), misadventures of tron bonne on ps1 (loose, $10 from blockbuster), and haunting ground on ps2 (loose, $0.25 from GameStop when they were clearing out their old games a few years ago) Keep rocking guys 🤘

Some straight heaters!

My most expensive games in my collection would be Silent Hill 3,Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the Dreamcast & Cannon Spike also for the Dreamcast.🙂

Xenosaga 3 PS2 - $175 (disc only), Def Jam FFNY PS2 - $170 (cib) and many more.

Actually got a few of these games when they were much cheaper.

Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike for DC and Einhander for PS1 both cib are my most expensive games

All of mine are Saturn games. I own a full set of Working Designs titles (no variants though). I was just a super fan of them I was a teen when the Saturn came out (yes, even Sega Ages). Also, probably Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre on the ps1 :)

About 10 years ago, I placed an order for Panzer Dragoon Zwei on Amazon. I paid approximately $15, if I remember correctly. I should note that this order was for the disc only. When I received the package, it seemed abnormally fat. I figured, "Sweet. Guess they included the case, accidentally." As it turned out, they made a much more drastic mistake than that. When I opened the package, I found a COMPLETE, nearly mint condition Panzer Dragoon Saga. Man, I hope someone wasn't fired over that blunder. Sadly, this game is no longer in my collection, as I sold it to cover more important expenses, but it's still a great story.

I got heavy hitters. First silent hill both black and greatest hits label, all silent hills on PS2 including both black and greatest hits of silent hill 2. Resident evil long box, rival schools, Gundam assault 2 sealed, blue reflection Japan version, parasite eve 2, and dino crisis 2.

Great list! Always nice to find some games for way less than retail value!

and to half quote the great randy savage you guys in my opinion are the cream of the crop of youtube and the retro gaming community!

Here's my top 10 currently: 1. Clayfighter Sculptors Cut N64, loose 2. Ogre Battle March Of The Black Queen SNES, CIB 3. Final Fight Guy SNES, loose 4. Earthbound SNES, loose 5. GG Aleste Game Gear, loose 6. Shining Force III Saturn, CIB 7. Mega Man X3 SNES, loose 8. Dragon Force Saturn, CIB 9. Mega Man Game Gear, loose 10. Chrono Trigger SNES, loose

Mine is Rule of Rose for the PS2

I have quite a few just because I'm a gamer that's been around awhile, but most expensive is probably Pokemon Box on the GameCube. Complete, unused sticker for the memory card. Grabbed it while in NYC at the Pokemon Center and didn't think it would become some holy grail.

During the mid 2000s, I was an avid PS2 guy and loved the Def Jam games. Sold them for next to nothing to GameStop to build up the PS3 collection. Fast forward much later and I purchased piece by piece the Greatest Hits FFNY coming in at about $150 on price charting now. I was super surprised the Guacamelee! One-Two Punch collection on Switch is about $80 now. While I don't have the box art, I purchased the WiiU Wolf Amibo bundle of Twilight Princess HD from GameStop who sold it in box for next to nothing. I thought I was buying the disc only game and the Wolf and box were an amazing bonus. Happy Hunting guys, loved seeing you on MJR's channel last week.

Top notch video guys. My most expensive game in my collection is Canon Spike for the Sega Dreamcast CIB

Just watched the video and I love you guys. While I'm a very casual gamer (don't collect games), I'm a collector of books and comic books. Currently hanging in my home office is Captain America #295 and The 'Nam #1. Now both books really aren't worth the paper they're printed on. But Cap #295 is the first book that I bought with my own money, and made me fall in love with the medium. And The 'Nam #1 was the only comic book my dad ever gave me money to buy. Thankfully I was able to complete the run before he passed. But what you guys said about it's not all about the value, but the stories behind. That really hit me. Sorry to ramble, but thank you for this video. Made my night.

My most expensive retro game is klonoa on the ps1, found it in a lot with the gba game together for $20

I think the most expensive game I own in my collection is probably Pokemon Soulsilver, CIB with the pokewalker and everything in like-new condition. Parents bought it for me on release 15 years ago for $40, never would have thought it hovers close to $200 these days.

Time Crisis 4 Guncon 3 bundle complete. Got it from a buddy for helping him move!

Streets of Rage 3 - £175 🇬🇧

PS1 stuff is salty these days, glad I grabbed most of it years ago. I remember picking up a mint copy of R-Type Delta at a garage sale for $0.25, Popful Mail for $1 at a flea market, multiple copies of Silent Hill for $1 each at various places, Haunting Ground for $4, Jetsons Cogswell's Caper in a $20 bundle. One of the biggest out of pocket payments I made for a retro game was $120 for Sculptor's Cut, but that was just over a decade ago. I LOVED Goose Island's Hex Nut Brown, but I haven't been able to find it for years now. Not sure if it's even made anymore.

As one of the 17 people who had a Nintendo Wii U, I heard about how bad Devil's Third was I had to have it. I picked it up, new on Amazon for $30. For once, my nearly infinite backlog helped, keeping me from opening it. Completely unaware, I was going to open it and play and just thought "Let's see what it's worth before I unwrap it"... I got it digitally before the shop closed and got the best of both worlds. A shi**y, fun game and a stoopid expensive sealed game. Great episode. I have 5 of the games on the list as at one point I decided I would never sell another game after getting $2 from Funcoland and realizing it was worth more to have it available if I ever wanted to play it again. Believe it or not that game was Bubsy on SNES.

I have quite a few games from multiple generations. My expensive games off the top of my head are Xenosaga III, Phantasy Star Online Episode I&II Plus for GC, Brave Fencer Musashi and Diablo 1, both for PS1. All CIB. I have quite a few honorable mentions, too

digging the editing...nice job....got Rule of Rose for $165....pretty sure its worth alot more

If you don’t have Crusader of Centy and Magic Knight Rayearth you’re not real collectors 😂 I appreciate your guys work and collection throughout the last few years

That old video of devil's third by you guys, I was able to get the download b4 the servers dropped😅😊

The Stone cold Steve Austin was strong in this video! 😂

Great episode guys. Price Charting tells me that for me it is Bad Conkers Day CIB, then SMB CIB, Def Jam Fight for NY CIB, then Power Stone 2 for the one and only dreamcast.

its crazy how much axiom verge is worth seal now. It was offered on the epic games "free game of the week" a couple years ago for PC. Great game if you're looking for your Metroid fix.

I always wanted Einhander and R-Type Delta but even back in the day they were almost impossible to find used and they were never much cheaper than retail. My most expensive is definitely Star Fox Super Weekend I bought from SicCooper. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity after not jumping on one for $400 over a decade ago.

I thought I was the only one that liked the first Castlevania game the best

Robert ZORTMAN?? I didn’t see that coming!
