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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bro I remember walking miles with my uncle to buy that game when I was a kid. We didn't have the money to get home because the game was a bit more expensive than we thought. Still worth it tho'. Awesome game. Not as good as 2 IMO.

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

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.
