doner24 | 1,195 Moderator · Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think $2,500 for a single CIB game, and I sold the cart for $1800 after as I already had it and made a much more affordable CIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormarov.45 | 32 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I paid about 500 for Magic Knight Rayearth on a speculation. It turns out it was a good deal. After playing it all the way through I will sell it for a profit maybe, or just keep it as a centerpiece.

My copy might be going on a FO listing after that news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy... I could not pay more than $200 for a cd from that era because of the cd rot that seems to have affected many games.. Hopefully Limited Run will get their act together and start remaking these expensive Saturn games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the artist for the manga wasn't one of my wife's favorites I wouldn't have dropped $300-400 for the game a few years back. It is more of a display piece than anything now.

I had a chance to get it for like $3-400 maybe 2-3 years ago at a retro game store in Virginia Beach.. Someone had just brought their entire Saturn collection into the store for sale.. spent a long time staring down all of those beautiful gems, but didn’t think about buying them.. The working designs games on Saturn are mesmerizing to look at for sure though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerkobra | 268 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) $1400 Canadian for a CIB Keio Flying Squadron. I got to pay in installments to a friend over a long period of time, so it wasn't so bad Edited June 25, 2020 by killerkobra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you buy 4 $200 games you don't like? Would you not buy a $800 game you do like? ...with my way of thinking, I want to collect as many NES games as I reasonably can. So, I can get more games at 100-200$ a pop then I can with getting a single 800$ game. Just makes more sense to me. I've kind of accepted at this point that there are several games I will never add to my collection.. An that's okay.

Rage780 | 15 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Not a game but so far the most i spent in my collecting on one item is 400 CDN on a sega kiosk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brockj | 8 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 This thread got me thinking and going back through some of my purchases. I thought Flintstones 2 was my most expensive, but after going through old messages it looks like I traded, so I am something like: Flintstones 2 Surprise at Dino $625 (2013 - NA) (mix of cash and trades) Little Samson - $450 (2013, ebay with $50 off?) Spiker! Super Pro Volleyball - $450 (2019, ebay - cart only, was part of a lot including console, apparently I wasn't the only one who saw the cart in the picture...) James Buster Douglas CIB - $355 (2015, ebay) Bounty Bob Strikes Back - $325 (2015, AA) I was so close back in the day to pulling the trigger on Stadium Events when it was around $3k, but my wife would have killed me, in fact, probably still would even if I got it for $3000 today! Probably the one piece I will never get, forever at 676. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magus | 169 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 My biggest game purchase was probably the Chrono Cross i purchased that was VGA 85+ at $350. I have games now worth much more though, but didn't pay much. BUT my highest video game item, is definitely one of my neon signs or potentially the 2 Chrono trigger Akira Toriyama prints i have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I don't disagree, just kicking myself for holding back 10 years ago on SE. I also never got into SNES, but I recently was looking at the prices of N64, holy crap, I am glad I completed that set before it went nuts! I would have to double check, but I think I only paid $150 for Sculptors Cut. My collections are mostly cart only, boxes were too hard to hide from the wife! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koopa64 | 51 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Let’s see a loose earthbound SNES cart for $230 USD. and this isn’t a game but I paid $845 USD for a 64DD console, included was an N64 console, power adapter, genuine S-Video cable and genuine expansion pak.
