I was bored and was looking through my cupboards and found two of my old and rare Sackboys which I won in an online competition from Media Molecule.

This is not my image. I have the exact same, though. In the same wrapping and with the same letter. But two of them!

I then randomly searched ebay and found that two were selling for £100 and £125! I was so surprised!

So my question is, what do you think your most expensive and therefore rare gaming item you have is?

(I would provide images if it wasn't so late at night. Please provide your own images of your items if you can!)

EDIT: I've included my own picture now.

 

[Trevelyon]

idk, maybe PAL Panzer Dragoon Saga?!

 

[Syril]

I've got a copy of Suikoden II. That's still stupidly rare and expensive, right?

My FFVII copy? It's in mint condition, I myself can't believe how well maintained it is.

 

[Jarmel]

You really don't want me to post pictures in this thread.

 

[Tomat]

You really don't want me to post pictures in this thread.

Oh, but we do.

 

[linkboy]

Probably my copy of Suikoden II

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Panorama Cotton Tea Cup.

I got a couple of signed PSX MGS collector's editions, they are tatty and incomplete so probably aint worth shit.

 

[Strike]

I'd probably have to say mint condition copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence Limited Edition.

 

[ashbash159]

Post it all!

 

[randomkid]

I just found out that some random board game that's been in our basement for years and years that we were planning on giving away is apparently really valuable (seriously, HeroQuest by Milton Bradley is really worth money?)

For videogames, hmm, I've got complete copies of like, a bunch of Playstation RPGs and Harvest Moon 64 and a bunch of SNES games, some of em have gotta be worth something decent.

 

[StuBurns]

I have one of those Sackboys, well, my sister has it.

 

[Boaty McBoatface]

I snagged a copy of Project Zero/Fatal Frame 4 for Wii last year, I've checked online a few times since and I can't find any new copies.

That thing is worth £125 on ebay? I have one sitting on my desk, and while I would never sell it (it's adorable!) I never had a clue it was worth anything!

Well,in that case my 2nd most valuable gaming item is my big box EA games collection. Bought for £2 at a car boot sale, I cannot find any references to this edition on the internets, and it exceptionally rare. http://www.abload.de/img/imag0002x8gx.jpg

Value is unknown, but I wouldn't put it much below £50.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Apparently my PS3 English copy of Aquanaut's Holiday is worth like $150+ now according to eBay insanity *mind blown*

 

[Anth0ny]

<3


I also have a sealed copy of MGS4, limited edition. I'm sure that will be worth a lot eventually.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Not quite rare, but to me, it's priceless.

I also have copies of Frequency and Amplitude signed by Harmonix Staff and Freezepop.

 

[BGBW]

I have one of those Sackboys, but it wasn't really a competition though, more like a promotion. Also have the attached letter somewhere in a folder. Never did buy the game though.

Probably not worth much but I am proud of my Miyamoto signed Link to the Past box.

 

[FlashFlooder]

Nice topic OP. I dont have anything that worthwhile. Rarest things are probably my working 60gb launch PS3 and the Zelda collection for gamecube.

 

[RurouniZel]

Original drawing of Lunar: The Silver Star promo art. Also, Ohji Hiroi's autograph (Sakura Wars)

Mario cartridge signed by Miyamoto during the Nintendo World store opening in NY.

 

[Hey You]

Nothing really. I do have a NES and SNES with a bunch of games.

Current most expensive thing probably my 360?

 

[MotorbreathX]

I owned a copy of X-COM: UFO Defense for PSX. I sold it for about $75. Not too bad...

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Probably Ico or Zoe2 which aren't hard to get at all yet.

 

[JimboJones]

I have a official Mario themed Gamecube controller that i got from club nintendo (or nintendo vip as it was called back then).

Dunno if it's considered rare or worth much though.

 

[Grisby]

On amazon this is going for $80 or so. I probably have another item or two but this popped into my head immediately.

 

[-KRS-]

Probably my cartridge of Mr. Gimmick for the NES. It's definitely the most I've ever paid for a cartridge. It's nothing special though so no point in taking a picture. It's just a cartridge in average condition. I couldn't afford to buy a CIB copy anyway, just wanted the game

I don't have many really expensive games. I think the only other one might be Earthbound, but it has only become expensive in later years. When I bought it it was half the price of what a cartridge usually goes for today, and I also bought it with a weird "For Display Only" box in really good condition.

And I guess Final Fantasy III for the SNES which I have CIB with the map in decent condition, I'd say around 7 or 8 out of 10. But it's not really a game that's even close to being considered "expensive".

 

[KaYotiX]

My copy of Shining Force 3 (on Saturn)

And The CE's of Both Lunar games on the PS1


Nothing worth TONS but still they are semi-rare nowdays and im glad i kept them.

 

[N4Us]

Have the Sonic Adventure LE disc, but it's not in the LE packaging. Also might be one of the few you can actually save a file with.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Not counting hardware, probably Panzer Dragoon Saga.

 

[FloppyDelux]

Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete
Arc the lad collection
Bust a groove

Seem to be rare...

 

[johnsmith]

 

[dc89]

Erm.

Probably Final Fantasy VII for PC. The big box edition. It's in top condition with all inserts etc.

Shame it always used to crash at the chocobo races, I think it was a known compatibility issue with XP.

 

[V_Ben]

I have some kind of metal (possibly pewter) figure of Solid Snake from MGS2. I can't actually find an image of it on google, but it's in roughly this pose;

 

[DiscoJer]

Probably Ogre Battle for the SNES

 

[Traumahound]

I have an F-Zero GX racing jacket that I won in an EB Games Canada contest. Apparently only 25 were produced. (Sorry for the crappy quality pic. I had a shitty camera when I won this. I should probably retake pics of it someday.)

 

[element]

Sander Cohen statue. Present from Ken Levine to employees at Irrational Games. Only 200 were made.

Andrew Ryan statue. Promotional Gift Irrational Games created. Only 200 were made.

Limited Edition Xbox. Only for MS employees.

I've got some other stuff. Panzer Dragoon Saga, FF3 SNES, and some others.

 

[orioto]

But seriously :

It's not much

 

[SpacLock]

I was actually going through some of my old stuff that was boxed up a long, long time ago and found two NES Legend of Zelda gold carts. No packaging for them though.

I also found all of my old SNES games like Super Mario World, Super Metroid, etc.

Oh, and Mortal Kombat 2 for Genesis. Awesome.

 

[Cranzor]

I don't really have anything very rare. Probably my copies of Zelda Collector's Edition and Metroid Prime Trilogy are the most rare I have.

 

[V_Ben]

Damn element, those look outstanding :O

 

[Parallax Scroll]

What's that worth? I don't think I have EB but I have lots of old cartridge games including a lot of RPGs.

 

[Ceebs]

The only real collectors items I have are boxed and complete copies of every Monkey Island game. I would like to see the special editions get a retail bundle so I could buy those as well.

 

[Jarmel]

Oh, but we do.

I hope I don't make too many people depressed.

Let's start off with the uber valuable stuff and work our way down shall we?

Mass Effect poster signed by the development team. Poster is also OOP. One of a kind I believe.

Uncharted game signed by the developers. Only five of these exist.

Valkyria Chronicles signed by the head producer and director.

Fallout 3 poster signed by the development staff. Only 3 of these exist.

No More Heroes 2 Poster signed by Suda 51. Haven't gotten these framed yet due to size(will cost $500 each to frame). One of a kind.

Don't have personal pictures of those right now but here's some images from the contest.
http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9004869

Now onto the more casual rare stuff I have:

Signed Deadspace 2 game signed by the entire development team
Signed copies of MGS1,2, and 4. I also have a sketch by Shinkawa for MGS3. Working on getting this framed.
Signed copy of Eternal Darkness by Dyack(I know)
Then there is the shitload of Mass Effect lithographs I have framed. My main one is the Citadel lithograph. I actually had the Illium one and it got wrecked in transport.
I also have two lithographs by Yoshitaka Amano, one of Terra.

 

[Seven Force]

I have sealed copies of Earthbound (Packaged guide and all) & Suikoden II, but that's about it.

 

[Vamphuntr]

SNES
-Lufia II
-Chrono Trigger
-Secret of Mana

GB
-Final Fantasy Legend III

PSX
-Suikoden II
-Lunar SSSC

[Nightbreeze]

Panzer dragoon saga
Shining force III
Earthbound

I remember I was originally selected to beta test wow and sold my beta account to someone on the ign boards and bought panzer dragoon and shining for with that money! Was so happy since I didn't even have the time to devote to the beta at that time.

 

[BGBW]

Oh, I just remembered. I won a Mad World hoody. on't know how much it is worth, but it's comfy to wear round the house.

 

[-KRS-]

I have sealed copies of Earthbound (Packaged guide and all) & Suikoden II, but that's about it.

God damn! That must be worth a small fortune nowadays.

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Trying to think real hard on this...

I guess my Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker that I got signed on twice by Kojima last year?

Because who else could think to have a copy of Peace Walker signed twice that same day?! NOBODY!! Maybe.

I also had my Onimusha 3 signed by Keiji Inafune that one summer that he came to the Gamestop near 34th St.

Aaaaand I just remembered, my 2 LittleBigPlanet 2 covers that were signed by the MediaMolecule guys there and the 3 LittleBigWorldRecord players. Cooool beans.
