These games any value

[Ghost]

Hello all,

I have a big load of games here I really wish to get rid of; to make room, but also to make some money so I can buy other games I really would like to have.

I don't expect loads of cash, I am just curious.

Hi Ghost,
i am interested in "Syndicate Wars"
I will PM you.

[Buleste]

I think i saw ST:BOTF go for £14.99 onm ebay recently but i think that was in mint condition.

[Harrison]

One game that I instantly noticed was Star Trek Klingon Academy. This is a very rare and hard to find game. Even a few of years ago it took me some time to find a copy. That should be worth at least £25, and even as much as £40 if you get some interest.

It is quite an extensive list. Are all of the games for the PC? I had a quick scan though and most are not worth much. Around £1-5 each at most. Many can easily be found on ebay selling for £0.99p at the moment which isn't very good at all. However some are equally worth a bit more.

Also if you sell some of them in bundles. Such as the Civilization 2 games you might make more on them.

Doom 3 and expansion combined will however only be worth around £5 together.

Empire Earth games are worth a bit more. Around £5-7.

Starfleet Command 3 is quite sort after and worth around £25-30. And Birth of the Federation is also worth around the same price.

The Half Life games combined would only be worth around £5-10 at most.

I highly recommend you post them for sale on AmiBay. You should get a lot of interest in quite a few of them on there. Plus you won't need to pay any sellers fees like ebay. Just make sure you state the prices you would like for each if you do post them for sale as you can't ask for offers on there.

Hello all,

Most of these games are in very fine condition and I always took very much care of them, there are some exceptions of course but I don't expect big prices for them.

Well as you said Harrison, most of these games are rather run of the mill, I want to sell them as I really need the space they now occupy, plus a little extra cash is never bad.

Yes, I will probably bundle games like Doom 3 + Expansion, the Civilization games etc, expansions are often hard to sell solo.

In general I would like to believe in the honesty of people when I ask them for a fair price but you must always keep self interest in mind, would you pay more for a game you really want if you can ask a lower price for it?

Perhaps some of you can give me some fair suggestions.

As for Amibay, sounds like a good place to start.

[Harrison]

The sad truth is that regardless of how much most games cost new, and how well you took care of them, most are worth very little second hand. Look for most of the games in your list on ebay and you can get them for 99p plus postage. It really does show that buying new games is not really a good idea, and instead waiting 6 months to a year to buy games after they are released will save a lot of money.

In general I would like to believe in the honesty of people when I ask them for a fair price but you must always keep self interest in mind, would you pay more for a game you really want if you can ask a lower price for it?

I base the value of games on current real world prices. The actual prices I could buy a copy for on ebay and other locations. If you can physically buy a game for 99p then that is really all it is worth. Why would anyone who is after a game pay £5 when they could get exactly the same game for 99p?

[Ghost]

Hi Harrison,

Well I meant more of the rarer titles, not the ones that aren't worth much to begin with.

[Harrison]

Well, from your list anything that is from the following game series/franchise will be of more interest and sell for more:

Star Trek
Star Wars
Empire Earth
C&C
Wing Commander
Civilization
Elite 2

Your best bet is to do a quick search for each of the games on ebay and see what they are currently selling for.

I bought a copy of Syndicate Wars for the PS1 today for £4.95 so I'd imagine you could get about that for it if you sold it.

[Ghost]

Guess I forgot to remove Elite 2, or should I sell it? :P
