Dragon's Curse Value new sealed?

[Psycho Punch]

I never understood these "What's it worth" threads; well, at least most of them. What they're really asking is (usually): how much can I get for this? And, if that's the question, go to eBay and look it up. Christ, how hard is that?

I think that usually people like the OP are just subconsciously trying to obtain circlejerk-ish replies such as "wow man that's very rare omg don't sell your treasure blah blah blah" and to fish for potential buyers.

Btw, I read some of the stuff at NeoGeo.com. Clearly he's a complete prick. Doesn't actually know what "decency" is, probably thinks the guys at NG.com are jealous of his hyper hella common SNES garbage in plastic wrap.

I think his username sums him up pretty well

That and to get agreement / justification of whatever pie-in-the-sky price they've already decided it's worth, like this chucklefuck thinking it's worth $300 and anyone that says otherwise is an 'immature hater'.

[johnnykonami]

Wish I could go back in time and stop myself from selling my copy of this (among others).  It's no biggie since I've beaten Dragon's Curse dozens of times as a kid, but I'd always hoped to get one again.  I might have to settle for Adventure Island and TED if this keeps up, though.

[CrackTiger]

The OP should have gone to some German videogame forums, from my own experience he shouldn't have trouble finding some likeminded greedy collectard people there, who will congratulate him and things like that.

Now I am really serious. I were on some of those forums for years, I won't ever go back to them.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong guys, I don't say they were all like that. But at least the places I went had a pretty high percentage of them. Maybe I were at the wrong places and stayed too long. Or whatever.

[ObeyMyEgo]

Like I said I understand the hate. I would shit all over me too if i saw that old thread at neo-geo.

Agai, I have no intentions of flipping any of it for actual cash. My bad. I'll take the advice and crawl back into my hole.

Personally, I don't care whether your a douche or not. But seriously, people have already offered you honest advice.

Unless you're blind, I would recommend this link

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_udlo&_udhi&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo&_sabdhi&_samilow&_samihi&_sadis=15&_stpos=19711&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_nkw=dragon%20curse%20turbografx&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

Contains all completed listings of Dragon's Curse on eBay. Should give you a general idea of market value, though I bet you already know.

[ObeyMyEgo]

I did appreciate those who gave me helpful advice.

Blows when you are trying to start over from a fuck up and everyone would rather bash you.

Yet we have a member over there who scammed thousands of dollars on a fake neo geo game and people leave him alone

[esteban]

I collect and I game.

I only have a few sealed titles. Every other game in my library I have played or have the intentions to.

Also like I stated. Wasn't looking to sell it. Honestly have someone willing to trade games I need for my Genesis collection.

As for the collectard thing. I get that. I wouldn't pay 200$ for a sealed game either. I dont even pay retail for newly released ps4 games. I'm that cheap.

But I came across that lot. I bought it for cheap. So it didn't hurt me to pick it up

Yes it is and yes, it has been there forever and is still there in NoHo. I worked there out of high School. The store still rocks and funny as it is, there are still a couple of guys that still work there from when I did which was over 20 years ago. LONG TIME AGO!

That's a good website.  I'll remember that for future reference.

[roflmao]

Hey roflmao.  Haven's seen you in a while.  How are things?

Hey geise! Sad to say, but I think it was facebook. There's a group for everything over there and it just "feeds" it to you all in one constant stream.  Lately I thought to myself, "Hey, I haven't been to pcefx in awhile." Sure enough there's 30 pages of unread messages to catch up on! I missed you guys and will try not to stay away for so long next time.

[Alt-Nintega]

anything sealed should be graded, it adds value. If you wanna play this crappy game download an emulator.

P.S. as far as collectard thing goes. Don't let these clowns get to ya. 99% of this forum are collectards. They like Turbo shoelaces, old urine stained turbo magazine ads and old NEC carboard boxes. Most likely whoever calls u collectard here are 100% hippocrit collectard themselves.

Grade your shit!!!!!!!! It's worth more that way!!!!

Yeah, but keep in mind that it's a Game List, doesn't necessarily mean it's what they have in stock. Still, the prices, for the most part, are quite fair and always have been. Not saying there was never that odd moment though when reading the price list where you go, WTF?

[ObeyMyEgo]

I wouldn't judge someone for collecting sealed shit. I mean how many of you have games just sitting on shelves you never play as well? Once I beat an RPG I put it down. I couldn't play through them a second time. Work limits my time.

Hell I have a few ps4 games still sealed because my time is limited and some games take 20+ hours to beat.

I collect other things like rifles. That only get used 1-2 times a year. Does that mean I should stop collecting them?

None the less I respect your opinions. But calling people out and insulting them just because they find sealed games as a nice display item in the game room is a bit ass backwards.

Like I mentioned in the other thread. If someone wants to offer me a open complete TurboGrafx game in trade I'll gladly open one and trade with you.

[VenomMacbeth]

Why can't you do both?  Unseal your minty fresh game & play it, then put that fresh hotness back on your shelf when you're done. 

Yes, I collect games, and yes, the majority of them sit unplayed most of the time...but they're there because I like them, and I might like to come back to them later.

The last sealed game I bought was a best-of copy of F-Zero for the SNES.  I kept it entombed for a long time, but ultimately I opened it.  I wanted the experience of opening & playing a new game (even though I'd played F-Zero prior to then).

It's the people that collect sealed games just to leave them sealed that I don't get.  The only purpose for doing that is to ensure the object maintains maximum collectard value.

Despite the bullshit Tool is feeding you, this forum is *not* mostly collectards.  We all have a collection, sure, but I can't think of one guy here offhand that buys sealed video games just to hoard them & ultimately sell them. 

We all players up in here.  Don't hate the player, hate the collectards.  Listen to the immortal teachings of Ron Jeremy.

[ObeyMyEgo]

I wasnt listening. I don't care what another man does. I don't have time to judge people for liking something. Unless you're into little kids. Then I got some free time to judge.

I don't care so much about value. I think they look good displayed.

I do get your point. Sitting there sealed I can't even play them. I guess it's like hanging a picture. You can't do much with it. But I'm sure you like looking at it.

[VenomMacbeth]

I do get your point. Sitting there sealed I can't even play them. I guess it's like hanging a picture. You can't do much with it. But I'm sure you like looking at it.

That's an interesting analogy.  And I did keep that copy of F-Zero sealed for awhile for that very reason...

However, the only reason I bought that copy was because I'm a big fan of the F-Zero series as a whole & having a sealed example of one of the games was exciting to me...but not as exciting as opening the game & pretending to experience it for the first time.

Y'see, pictures you can hang up on the wall & everyone sees them, and everything that can be experienced from those pictures is right there in front of your face.  However, if you display a MISB video game, you've basically turned your display into a storefront - nobody that sees it will know what it's like to play the game.

You're better off buying/making some cover art posters of your favorite games, and playing the rest when you can, with that logic.  Between my job & my kid, I haven't found as much time to play video games recently either...but if it's something you care about, you make time. 

  The only conceivable reason I'd see owning video games, but not playing them, is showing off how much self-control you have.  It'd be like displaying a hermetically sealed, delicious cake.  Sure, it looks tasty, but nobody will ever know that for sure because they can't eat it.  All of your friends will be like "omg that looks delicious, how haven't you eaten any yet?"

Every object made by human hands serves some kind of purpose.  Sometimes it's just sitting there & being looked at.  That's for things like antiques & porcelain dolls.  Cars are meant to be driven, toys are meant to be played with, cakes are meant to be eaten, and video games are meant to be played.  I never understood the point in collecting any of those things if you can't experience & enjoy them, unless doing so absolutely destroys them.

I got Shadow of the Beast there a couple of years ago, still sealed.  Price was still whatever is on the price list.  Opened that bitch up and played it as soon as I got home.  Unsealed a copy of John Madden Duo CD Football the same year.  Fuck sealed games.

[VenomMacbeth]

Fuck sealed games.

You didn't get any satisfaction knowing those games hadn't been touched or seen the light of day since they left the proverbial "factory"?  I can't be the only one.  It feels like fucking Christmas.

[Vimtoman]

I've just bought some sealed games

I may open them up. Baa

I also have a Turbo everdrive.

Sort of holding me back from opening them.

[PukeSter]

That's fine. Guess I'm a collectard

Collectards! Collectards!

You really need to dial it down sometimes Gentlegamer. I think almost every single one of your posts contains the word "collectard".

[ObeyMyEgo]

I don't see the big deal about keeping them sealed.

I collect for Genesis and have a everdrive for that system. If I find sealed games I just display them next to the open games.

Anyways. I traded one sealed dragon's curse for a loose copy of crusader of centy.

Like I said don't sweat it. Most these people are collectors here.

Let me put it like this. People collect stamps, cards, weapons, paintings, vinyl, sealed vinyl (cause they have that shit on CDs ffs), posters, sports cards, video games, sealed video games ( I beat this shit so many times that I have sealed version because to me its like a baseball card, its a collectors item), cassettes, underwear, porn, pogs, and the list goes on.

Listen these clowns here, don't let them tell you what to do. They are butthurt because some of the games they wanna play cost too much money and they can never own them because they are such hippocrit collectards themselves. If they wanna play it download an emulator, but NO!!!!! they MUST own it!!!!

I wish I had a Mickey Mantle rookie card. Am I crying about why is it so expensive. These clowns cry everyday about why they never will own Magical Chase or Hero Tomna or something.

Don't open yo shit, Grade your shit!!!! Happy New Year!!!

[Alt-Nintega]

I wanted the experience of opening & playing a new game (even though I'd played F-Zero prior to then).

what are you? twelve years old? "experience". Listen to yourself you sound ridiculous. What's wrong with playing your used one? The whole "experience" is in the game itself, not fetishly opening and cumming while opening new game, like some dumb geeknerd.

Stop feeding new members this bs. People collect video games. They keep the great stuff sealed because they can frame it, hang it and look at it knowing its worth hundreds or thousands. Like paintings. It's an investment.

Video games are not investments, Tool. If you're allocating your income there in the hopes that one day one of your games are going to fund your retirement, well... never mind, please continue to do that. Good luck with that, actually! Any tips on which games I should be stockpiling?
