Sapphire and Sylphia - what are they worth on the market?

[Yamazaki]

Just wondering what these two titles are worth atm?

here are some pics for judging the condition of my copies:

[PikachuWarrior]

Check on Ebay. Everyone has an account. Even Amazon or Half.com. Some people I swear live in the stone age of online retailers.

[Yamazaki]

Ebay and the likes tend to be swarmed with professional retailers who are waiting for Mr. Right to buy their overpriced titles - thats why I am asking at the heart of PC Engine gaming

[PikachuWarrior]

Well, if they are selling, then obviously people are willing to pay whatever amount it sells for. Just saying.

[NecroPhile]

I'd say maybe $175 for Sylphia and $350 for Sapphire.  Are you actually selling 'em, or can we look forward to you asking again in four years?

[Yamazaki]

still thinking wether I sell or keep them.

just wanted a quick look at wat they might bring in.

they might bring in some money - but then again I doubt I'll ever find them again.

So what?  The money at least has a chance of being useful, and maybe they'd go to someone that'll set them free from their plastic prisons.

As they're both factory sealed in this case the Sylphia is worth more than the Sapphire.
A factory sealed Sapphire is much more common than a factory sealed Sylphia.

FREEDOM!  No PCE game should be left in the plastic. Games are meant to be played damn it!

That goes for ANY video game...

I knew this person was bragging the moment I read the thread title. It's clearly obvious he's not even thinking about selling because who doesn't know what is a common game and what is a rare game without doing some research online.

I collect sealed games, and so I can sympathize a little bit and can see both sides of "Games are meant to be played", but part of my hobby, besides playing games, is collecting sealed games and even in some cases, not even playing the sealed games ever in any form (buying their used counterpart). I don't regret it at all. I think of it as a showpiece, so to speak.

Just the way it goes!

Funny, after reading your post I checked his history. He's been here a long time, but sadly all about selling, eBay spamming, or 'what's my stuff worth' now. No interest in the community.

What something is worth and what something will sell for on ebay are 2 drastically different numbers

I third this. I personally never understood the statisfaction that people get of looking at a sealed item. to each their own though, I guess.

[RegalSin]

Well I brought Castlevania, Steam Hearts, Magical Chase, Rainbow Islands, for high prices. Why not these???

Just what I said  , to find Sylphia factory sealed is quite rare.
On the other hand a factory sealed Sapphire you see alot more often.

Yeh there's lots of fake Sapphires about, but you see genuine sealed ones alot more than sealed Sylphias.

[Tatsujin]

i didn't see any sealed sapphires in many years except the one in here.

Really?? maybe its just me, I used to see approx 5 sealed Sapphires come up a year.
But other than the one in this thread I've only ever seen two other sealed Sylphias.
 

Saying that I'm completely out of the loop as I've nearly completely stopped buying video games.
Still play all the games I've already got, just stopped buying any more.

[Tatsujin]

you sure they wasn't teh fakelers one?

[Liquid Snake]

Sylphia (sealed) should worth more.  I bought a mint copy in 2010 and spent $190 shipped.
