Most money you've ever made selling a game?

Postby BanjoPickles1 » June 24th, 2014, 11:07 pm

Back in 2001, I happened upon a CIB copy of Earthbound for $15 at a comics store. Obviously, I snatched it up before my friend saw it.

For years, it sat on my gaming shelf. Finally, two years ago, I was planning a trip to Maui and I really wanted to go hang gliding on the road to Hana. Since it was a family trip with my now-ex wife and stepsons, I didn't think it would be right to dip into our trip fund for something that only I would do.....so I went to eBay. I knew that Earthbound was highly sought after, but I was not expecting what I found! My copy wasn't entirely mint, but it WAS in good condition. I ultimately parted ways with it for $300, $285 more than I paid for it! Two years later, I downloaded it for $10!

What's say you?

Gameboy Advanced OG Model.

$5 bucks. Didn't go through with it. But the GBA is too awesome to let go of so easily....

Picked up sealed copy of PS1 Diablo at Goodwill of all places. I got $180 for it. It wasn't worth it,that's why I won't sell anything unless its a duplicate anymore. I always regret it. SO many boxed NES titles I've let go. I also got $90 for a boxed copy of snowboard kids 2 I got for a buck at a garage sale. I miss that to.

Burk-Sounds like it was worth it to me, considering you can easily get Diablo on the PC for much much cheaper and with expansions.
