Well my bro just convinced me to keep it, which is fine. I guess the value will always be there as long as there is a collectors market. Like Earthbound, it could just keep getting more valuable and possibly even plateau for a while.

Emwearz - nice pick ups especially snowboard kids 2.

I would definitely hold onto it for that price, personally. I still have my second copy from years ago, but I would probably still hold on to another one for only $5. Value has been trending down slightly for the last couple years, though. IIRC it was up closer to $200 around 2008/9.

Also, if you're looking for a more efficient, and relatively inexpensive way to change out CD cases, I like this place: http://www.sleevetown.com/jewel-case-parts.shtml

A lot of stores like walmart, staples, office depot carry a 10 pack of clear jewel cases usually at less than $5 a pack, I think made by memorex, only down side is they're missing the "compact disc" logo. :?

A new jewel case makes the games look brand new. 8)

Those cases are perfect for Dreamcast games. For PS1 cases, the cheap games are common enough that I'll usually just use those for replacements.

Lucky for me someone made a very nice donation this morning. :mrgreen: I got all for $25 and Persona was free since I said there was no case and the cashier girl needed to go on break and said "I don't care anymore its free" Unfortunately this all needs to be sold so I can pay bills this month. Sucks coming out of college is this shit job market. Well heres the pics and time to find some nice ps1 replacement cases.

Edit - Just ordered the 3 cheapest sealed ps1 games as case replacements for $8 shipped. These should look great now. :D

That is a ridiculous find.. It's almost like you decided to get several of you most valuable games, take a pick and say you got it for 10 cents hahahaha.. Jk But that is unbelievable.. My collectible life would be nearly complete if I got a haul like you just did..

Die Hard Trilogy 2 is somehow worse than the original Die Hard Trilogy. I just played it for the first time a couple weeks ago. controls are super wonky and the story is ridiculous (in a bad way). Not sure why they decided to make a second one.

I did the same thing a month ago. I got Die hard trilogy 2 for $1 a while ago and I feel like I over paid. The controls and lack of fun in that game kill it for me. Nothing tops Die Hard Arcade unfortunately.
