Brand New Dragon Slayer Sealed Mint ... What's it worth?

[tbone3969]

Exactly my point.  You've decided what it's worth, so you're wasting everyone's time.

You know what NecroPhile you are right.  In my mind it's worth $350.  Thanks for your help leading me there.  Take care.

P.S. I love this forum already.

Doesn't really matter what you think its worth. It only matters what potential buyers are willing to pay; which varies from arena to arena.

I'll trade you a sealed Cosmic Fantasy 2 USA for it.   It's worth way more because it's in a box.

The box adds like 400$ probably.

What bothers me most about this thread is tbone has already done some research and decided what it's worth.  Why waste our time when you don't really care what we think anyway?  Go make a for sale/trade thread and stop beating around the bush.

I disagree.  I usually use Pricecharting as a guide.  They say it's worth $119.99 new but they also say a CIB copy is $199.99.  Doesn't make any sense.  When Pricecharting fails me I then research eBay to get an idea but considering I can't find any completed listings for a new copy on there either I came here.  I see nothing wrong with that.  Call me crazy?

The only price charting you should ever use is game dude. http://www.gamedude.com/turbog.html
Although I'm not sure what planet they are from where Magical Chase is worth less than Might and Magic 3...

Hey I'm a collector first businessman second.  If I can make a quick buck why not? 

What's wrong with that? 

However there are some games I have that I will not part with for almost any price (I say almost b/c there comes a tipping point where money can buy anything "Everyone has a price" as Ted DiBiase would say)

You're Tommy!

Are you Tommy?

You've got to be Tommy!

Whoa easy there NecroPhile.  Is that anyway to treat a new member?  lol

Why so hostile?

Don't think you're special; I mean to everyone.  It's part of my charm. 

hehehe

[geise]

You turned down $300 for Dragon Slayer?  Well good luck getting that here, and just so you know the guy wanting it for $300 (if that really did happen) has no idea what it's really worth.  Now a days it's worth what some moron just getting into turbo is willing to pay.  There is really no definitive answer anymore.  Me personally I wouldn't pay more than $75 for a new sealed copy.  It is no where near a rare game.  No where near that.  You should've taken the money and run if that's what you're looking for.

WARNING! INCOMING BATTLESHIP Arsehole APPROACHING!

Hello.  I have a NIB MINT Dragon Slayer.  I was wondering what you guys think it's worth.  I was thinking of selling it or trading it if the right deal came along.  I really just want a complete version with the map.  I bought this years ago to play but never got around to it so it just sat sealed.

TRANSLATION: I was hoping generate interest here to get as much money as possible. I will claim that I already turned down $300 to ensure that offers are $310+

MY RESPONSE: Good bye.

EPILOGUE: It would have been nice to actually have a dialogue before your true motives (GREED) surfaced. On second thought, I guess this was for the best. You can always suck my left one, though. C YA BUD!

A friend of mine in high school lost a testicle. Apparently he got sick and in the process of violently vomiting, his nut flipped upside down and strangled itself. Similar thing happened to two other people I know, but they were able to get to the hospital and save their nut before it was too late.

Think about this every time you cough or puke. It could be the death of one of your nuts.

It's OK, Nulltard. There is a reason you have 2 (Do you still have both?).

GIVE ME YOUR SEMEN

Give me an invoice, for that newfangled ArkanCard.

Defender, and Deep Blue. Give it to me, Arkhan.

Also, Arkhan, do you have something you can autograph, that I can frame and put on my wall next to Sharpie's cutting board??

[Arkhan Asylum]

I can autograph anything ever.   Apparently my silver sharpee scribbles are worth $$$$

Arkahn,


Forget this mess on PCEFX, you got something 8x10 or so, you can at least initial?


If so, you have my info, contact me, you will beat S(sp)harpie.

Do it! You'll live near Gary Busey.


* edited to add - make it reasonable. Gotta have some common sense!

[esteban]

You can always suck my left one, though. C YA BUD!

Este, I wonder... do you have a right one? Or does the left one hang lower and is thereby easier to access? You're always offering up your left one for the sucking.  Surely there's a reason for it!

My left one totally hangs lower, ever so slightly.

It's more accessible.

[Miracle_Warrior]

If someone on NintendoAge offered you $300, you should probably take that.  Beamer is closer with his $150 estimate than you are with your $350 estimate.

I never meant any disrespect.  I own 2 TurboGrafx Cds with 1 copy of the 3.0 card, A SCD attachment and CoreGrafx set up, and a boxed SuperGrafx.  I am a legit collector and I love (possessing and broadcasting that I possess) Turbo/PC Engine stuff.

Hey I'm a collector first businessman second.   If I can make a quick buck why not?

What's wrong with that? O:)

However there are some games I have that I will not part with for almost any price (I say almost b/c there comes a tipping point (I am in constant search of) where money can buy anything "I will do anything for money" as tbone3969 would say)

I was hoping to share my passion for Turbo/PCE gaming trade and maybe get some mods done through this forum so I don't want to make enemies.  I was hoping to maybe get my SuperGrafx region modded.  If that is even possible.

I get collectards being completely oblivious to the concept of video games serving any purpose other than as collectardibles. Hence the "tard' part of the title. What amazes me is how so many can jump straight into a forum that is clearly not supportive of collecardation and is obviously about the subject they are set building off of, but then still be shocked that they aren't being congratulated on their pride and instead continue to assure everyone that they are elitist possessors. I wonder how many of them sign up for Black Hair Media and then lash out at everyone for not lining up to pat them on the back for their boasts of video-games-as-dust-pedestals hoarding?

Why people whine that we are retards trying to massively reduce the price of the game at the expense of the seller? And why are they afraid to go into a no-reserve 0.99 one week auction?

Agreed! I don't watch ebay prices incredibly closely, but, I've never seen Dragon Slayer sell for $300 or more (CIB seems to be selling for ~$100 recently).

I just don't think that there is enough popularity for the series (or even perceived rarity) to drive that price that high).  Plus, the game really isn't that rare.  E.g., I bought a shrink wrapped copy just a couple of years ago for about $40.  Prices seem more inflated now, but I would think that $150 would be the high end for a shrink wrapped copy (unless you find someone crazy enough to pay more... such as $300).  I really doubt that a no reserve ebay auction would go that high.

[johnnykonami]

I believe it was $59.95 new. It's probably worth less by now though since it's not technically brand new anymore.

This is actually my line of thinking with buying new "old" games.  If brand new, I'm willing to pay up to original retail price if it's a game I really want.  Of course that doesn't take into consider scarcity and other factors, but generally that's my attitude.

You can make a quick buck selling plasma and semen. How noble are those acts?

It's because they know they aren't going to get the rediculous price they want.

Look, I'm just trying to get a decent value on this. I already own 2 Sealed NIB turds with just one sealed bottle of urine. I want a fair price for this or a decent trade.

But seriously, if you want a value on it do as suggested, put it on ebay for 7 days at 0.99 and see what you get.

[escarioth]

Got mine on ebay last month ...complete with map and all at 56,77$us....
600$ ? nah i dont think it worth this much

I don't know what you're talking about. . Shrink wrap easily adds another $550 or so in value to any thing. For example, a used VHS copy of Pretty Woman is worth about 50 cents to a dollar. . add some shrink wrap to it, and you've now easily got a treasure worth about $550.50 to $551.00.

It's simple science really

[wildfruit]

Can I just have the shrink wrap? I'll give you £1 . Shipped.

Oh i see
ill stick to the used complete copies for my part. I even saw video games stores that re-shrink wrap old games to sell them as brand new one. i dont trust brand new anymore since then (except if it just came out), if its used and complete i'm fine with it.

I heard some Gamestop stores do that, sell used copies by re-shrink wrapping them.  Although, they aren't technically "used," since all they did was take off the shrink wrap.  But still, I'm a hardcore collector, and I don't like anybody tampering with my copy! 

I used to own a game store and had a professional shrink wrap machine.  It is possible to make it look brand new. 

As for a brand new copy of Dragon Slayer, I think the OP should just put it on Ebay as an auction to let the folks on there vote with their bids as to its true value.  I highly doubt it would sell anywhere your perceived value price.

It was a local store called GameQuest.  Initially, we carried a ton of Japanese imported and some domestic games for all the consoles, from retro up to the current generation.  We also had a lot of Japanese goodies like Gundam/anime toys, wall scrolls, and memorabilia.  Later on, we carried Japanese anime and movies as well.  It was nice when you walked it.  It felt like you were in Japan for that moment.  :-)

Celophane may require a machine, but anyone can afford a shrink wrapping setup, which consists of a roll similar to saran wrap, a simple heat sealing strip and a heavy duty hair dryer.

The last, new, VHS I opened, was NOS. Someone found a box of a title in a back room, I took one. It was a Key Video release of, "Tomorrow's Child". An OK movie, for what it was/is. Fun opening the shrink-wrap, since across it vertically was a white, "Key Video" stamp of originality. Sad thing is, after I sold most of my VHS, and was moving the remainder, something impacted that specific cassette sleeve, near where the hub was, and damaged it. Oh Well, I was keeping it, anyway. I took that as a sign, since that was the only sleeve damaged.
