Your Most Expensive Game of Your Collection

[vhal_x]

Most expensive game I think was Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition, £150.

There might be a more expensive one, but right now I can't think xx

My most expensive was god of war 3 ultimate edition which cost me total of SGD 250 to ship over here. And I got the god of war 3 ultimate trilogy for SGD 200 only! I just started collecting at that time so wasn't too sure which one was worth more. LOL

Hmm, I think my Tales of Xillia Kyuun Chara Pack, though most Japanese CE are crazy expensive. That one was roughly $250 (without shipping, and I picked EMS) if I recall correctly. Was very, very worth it, though. I really love that game and the figures are simply precious.

Edit* Ah found it back, so yes, seems to be the most expensive with $290 total with shipping.

Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition ... not cheap

My mint codex edition is worth the most.

Paid full retail for Reach at launch

For me it was a sealed Dead space ultra and getting it graded.

GT5 Signature Edition, release day price + shipping from UK to US makes it the most expensive I've gotten. Really makes me appreciate Amazon's free release day shipping.

God of war 3 press kit for 175 euro.

How much I paid and how much my most expensive game is worth are two very different things


I very rarely pay over £100 for any game. There was a time when we considered £130 for Steel Battalion to be expensive, and then along came the slew of Guitar Hero / Rock Band bundles, followed by extremely expensive CE's...

These days it seems commonplace to pay over £100 for a lavish CE. A few recent ones I can think of where I have paid around £100 include Resistance 3, Gran Turismo 5, and Killzone 3, not to mention games I have paid more for such as the Black Ops Prestige Edition, MW2 Prestige Edition, Halo 3 Legendary Edition, and Halo Reach Legendary Edition etc... Skyrim and Uncharted 3 will be forthcoming games where I will be paying upwards of £100


But let's forget CE's for a moment. The most I have ever paid for a single game is £230, and that was for Steel Battalion on the eve of the release of Steel Battalion: Line Of Contact. I paid twice the release price for the original game a year after its release as I wasn't aware that Line Of Contact came with it.

Aside from CE's and Line Of Contact, the most I have ever spent on a standard game is about £130 for a factory sealed copy of Pokémon Crystal off eBay. It was the last Pokémon game I required for a full UK set, therefore I was willing to pay the premium on that. I have also been known to pay £100 for several factory sealed N64 games, but no higher

Which brings me back to what I said at the top of my post - My most expensive games I own ar my factory sealed N64 games, where I have personally been offered four-figure sums for certain games. Paper Mario is obviously the pride of my N64 collection, but I also have some very rare sealed copies of other classic games such as Mario Kart 64 and Mario Party 2, to name but a few

Second to these would perhaps be my sealed GameCube games, where I have been offered some obscene triple-figure amounts for certain titles. Mario Baseball is in very high demand!


Out of a collection of over 1,500 games, I estimate that at least 250 of them could easily fetch £100 on eBay, and of those I guess at least 50 or so of them could achieve higher than £200+ (and that's still not including any expensive sought after LE's or CE's!)
