What's the value of?...

[vhal_x]

It was only $270 RRP, but he paid $2500 for his copy as he bought one of the Exclusive editions of ebay (only 12 of them).

The exclusive editions weren't a planned CE, it was because they took 12 more orders than they should have so they just gave out an extra special CE (with one extra print I think is all it includes) to the first 12 people to email back to a message that was sent out xx

[Idiotekque]

Jeez... Did they come with Curt Schilling's fingers and toes?

[vhal_x]

Haha

I was wanting one when they went up for preorder, but you had to pay the $270 up front, which was too short notice for me (especially as it sold out SUPER fast)

But no chance would I have paid $2500 for it, even if it is one of the 12 exclusives xx

$2500 is a ton of money to have invested on this. Buy low, sell high; not the other way around. Who's honestly going to pay that much again for that game? The price was so high for it then because people were excited. It was something fresh and exciting. As time passes, will people still be as jazzed and ready to drop $2500 for an Extra Exclusive Edition? I'm not so sure. I mean, I'm sure there will still be interest in it; but $2500 worth of interest? Good luck though. Please make sure and let us know just as soon as you decide to sell it.

Yeah, it was the hype that caused it tbh.

I wouldn't even have dropped $1000 on it, even though I desperately wanted one (Just a Signature edition I wanted, not an exclusive, and for the Signature Edition I'd have went to $500 tops) xx

[MortalMonday]

To be fair though, until one of these Extra Exclusive Editions comes up for sale again, we really can't say for sure what's going to happen; and lord knows there are plenty of old CEs that command insane amounts of money these days (see Fortune Hunter Edition, Ultra Limited Edition, Survival Edition, WoW:CE)

All you need is one or two people that really want it, and you're back in business.

It's just the thought of having so much money tied up in the game, and the possibility of losing a sizable amount of that invest that makes me cringe...

Does anyone know what games are known to be among the most valuable; and how much are they worth?

[vhal_x]

Games as in CEs for them?

Dead Space Ultra edition: Usually £500+
Uncharted 2 Among Thieves Fortune Hunter Edition (wasn't a retail edition, was a competition): Usually $1000~ +
Kingdoms of Amalur Signature Edition: not sure of the going rate anymore. I'd pay $500 max for one though, considering they were $270 at release.
Kingdoms of Amalur Exclusive Edition (the one limited to 12): Last one sold for a lot less than $2500. About 6 out of the 12 managed to find themselves on ebay within the first month of release

Not sure which others, those are the ones in my mind right now though. Don't own any of them GRR! xx

Mint and perfectly sealed?

This would suggest 70+

For ones released through, retail, here are what I like to dub the big ones:

Mass Effect 2: Seen some sell for $300 now. Wut. Average around $225-$250

Tales of Vesperia CE: $250 seems to be average now, but you can find some with dents for $180-$200

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1: $350

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2: Saw one sell for $500, next week 2 sold for $300, some are up there for $250, so odd range.

Mass Effect 1: anywhere from $500-$750

Bioshock 1: In absolute mint condition without broken drill I've seen them sell from $700+, broken drills but mint box sell for like $450, beat up box anywhere from $150-$300

Assassin's Creed 2: You would not believe what these go for. Around $400-$600 for xbox 360. It's nuts.

Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition: $1300 seems to be the going rate recently

Fallout Survival Edition: Man I wished I picked these up when they were cheap, they go for $750-$1000 last time I checked

Kingdoms of Amalur Signature edition: Seen them sell for $1000 round launch, now they have trouble selling for $700. Eww.

Kingdoms of Amalur Exclusive edition: The most limited edition for any game there is, but god dammit why didn't they all put it in one box? The bane of my existance. First 3 sold for $3000, $2000, and $2500 (the one I bought, number 5/12). Last one that was up sold for around $1500. They may go down even further. The hype on this site was telling me they may go up to $20,000 in a decade or so, so I bought it as quickly as I could. Mistake. Hopefully it will pay off though

Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition: These have sold from $4500 to $7000. There's a few listed on ebay for $10000 with 5 sold, but the 5 sold have all been around $7000 it says.

Those are the biggest ones off the top of my head, hope that helps
