Brand New Dragon Slayer Sealed Mint ... What's it worth?

tbone3969 · 08/26/2014, 01:42 PM

Hello. I have a NIB MINT Dragon Slayer. I was wondering what you guys think it's worth. I was thinking of selling it or trading it if the right deal came along. I really just want a complete version with the map. I bought this years ago to play but never got around to it so it just sat sealed.

neutopia6 · 08/26/2014, 01:44 PM

I'll give you my soul for it.

NecroPhile · 08/26/2014, 01:47 PM

It's clearly worth $600. Ebay hath spoken!

tbone3969 · 08/26/2014, 01:49 PM

Ya well I am the one listing it on eBay... lol

I just wanted to see if anyone would offer me anything for it.

NecroPhile · 08/26/2014, 01:52 PM

I'll wait 'til you up the price again. $600 is chump change.

tggodfrey · 08/26/2014, 01:52 PM

You have it listed on Ebay for 600.0? Get out of here. Just leave. We dont want people here that wish to rip people off

PunkCryborg · 08/26/2014, 01:54 PM

I believe it was $59.95 new. It's probably worth less by now though since it's not technically brand new anymore.

BlueBMW · 08/26/2014, 01:57 PM

I always remember Dragon Slayer being a $40 to $50 game, so I'd guess a sealed one maybe $150.... but then again all sanity has left video games so some idiot with too much disposable income will probably pay stupid money for a game they cant even play.

Since it obviously wasnt worth the $500 you were asking, surely its worth the $600 you're asking now...

There were a lot of new old stock copies floating around a few years ago for 50-60. It's not among the rarest turbografx games and is more common as a sealed game than a lot of others are.

tbone3969 · 08/26/2014, 01:58 PM

It's free to list on eBay so I figured why not. I know it's not worth $600 but I was just curious to see what kind of offers would come in. So far I haven't gotten any offers and it's been up for over a month. Pricecharting doesn't have an accurate price for a new copy so I came to this forum to get the forum's opinion on what it's worth. Anyone want to tell me what they think it's worth? CIB versions seem to go for anywhere between $100 - $250 depending on if it has the map and overall condition.

blueraven · 08/26/2014, 02:00 PM

I paid $30 shipped priority mail about 2 years ago. I also have a Japanese copy that I got for $8.

tbone3969 · 08/26/2014, 02:03 PM

I never meant any disrespect. I own 2 TurboGrafx Cds with 1 copy of the 3.0 card, A SCD attachment and CoreGrafx set up, and a boxed SuperGrafx. I am a legit collector and I love Turbo/PC Engine stuff. Everything works as well. I had to send both CD units out for repair to get them working properly.

BlueBMW · 08/26/2014, 02:04 PM

Honestly if you are really serious about selling it and want the "market" price you need to just list it starting at $0.99 for 7 days. There isnt as much precedent on sealed items so its really hard to gauge a price for such an item. In such cases you're best to just let the market decide. Maybe youll get $150, maybe $350, really depends how bad people want it and whether or not you get two fools fighting each other.

tbone3969 · 08/26/2014, 02:05 PM

I have been offered $300 on Nintendo Age and turned it down. Mainly because I think its so cool. Recently I have been thinking of unloading it to get a CIB copy to play.

PunkCryborg · 08/26/2014, 02:06 PM

open it and enjoy

BlueBMW · 08/26/2014, 02:07 PM

Its kind of a fun game. Nice voice overs

I've traded sealed games for opened copies before. Most notable I traded a sealed US Cotton for an opened cotton and another common game. Could I have made more selling it and buying an opened copy, probably but it was worth it to get two games I could play for one that I'd have to open to play.

blueraven · 08/26/2014, 02:09 PM

I beat the game. It was a lot of fun. I would discourage you from selling it because it is a lot of fun. If you would rather have the money than have fun, well....

I'd keep it. Unless you can't get the smell of cat piss out of the map (true story). That would be grounds for selling the game

I picked up one of these at that time along with some other members. I think one of them even had a video showing himself opening the sealed game.

there are so many things wrong with your posts that I dont even have the time to call them all out.
just open the fucking thing. i bet the map is in there...then BLAMMO...you have a "complete" copy.
now...if it was truly "NIB", then maybe worth $600 since you would be the only person in the world with the "box".

mint.

P.S. good introduction. people that come here thinking its an appraisal house always have good experiences.
P.P.S. nintendo age

tbone3969 · 08/26/2014, 02:20 PM

You got me there. Yes technically there is no box. I know this. So just new and sealed.

I agree, its definitely not a $600 game.

Never really got into VGA. I like to be able to play my games.

jelloslug · 08/26/2014, 03:02 PM

You should one up me a make a raffle for it here.

ToyMachine78 · 08/26/2014, 03:03 PM

Its only worth as much as someone is willing to pay you for it. Same goes for comics, cards, figures, etc.

I've had many items in the past that were worth a lot according to whatever official price guide, yet anytime I would try to sell them at a convention or what not, no one was willing to pay remotely close to the guide price.

My advice: put it up for auction starting at .99¢. Whatever it ends at is what its worth.

Go sell it on NA for $300, buy an open copy off eBay for half that, then take the $150 profit and shove it up your ass.

BTW...i have a sealed lords of thunder that I'm taking offers on.

tbone3969 · 08/26/2014, 03:12 PM

Hey I'm a collector first businessman second. If I can make a quick buck why not?

What's wrong with that?

However there are some games I have that I will not part with for almost any price (I say almost b/c there comes a tipping point where money can buy anything "Everyone has a price" as Ted DiBiase would say)

Oh ok that makes me feel better.

I was hoping to trade and maybe get some mods done through this forum so I don't want to make enemies. I was hoping to maybe get my SuperGrafx region modded. If that is even possible.

Over priced Turbo stuff and price gouging is a sore subject around here so might wanna keep it to yourself if you don't like the answers you are getting

Yes, Necro.

tbone, pretty much everyone who posts a "HEY HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE OF THIS GAME" thread gets their ass handed to them on this forum. Diehard turbo fans reside here who get insanely pissed when the price is driven up by people looking to make a quick buck. You're not special.

Gasoline on the fire. You're asking for this post to continue on for ten pages.

NecroPhile · 08/26/2014, 03:42 PM

What bothers me most about this thread is tbone has already done some research and decided what it's worth. Why waste our time when you don't really care what we think anyway? Go make a for sale/trade thread and stop beating around the bush.

I disagree. I usually use Pricecharting as a guide. They say it's worth $119.99 new but they also say a CIB copy is $199.99. Doesn't make any sense. When Pricecharting fails me I then research eBay to get an idea but considering I can't find any completed listings for a new copy on there either I came here. I see nothing wrong with that. Call me crazy?

NecroPhile · 08/26/2014, 04:06 PM

You presumably believe it's worth more than $300 (else you wouldn't have declined the offer) and you know $500 is too high (else it would've sold).

Are you honestly trying to say you'd agree with us if we all said it was worth say $200? Don't lie now.

tbone3969 · 08/26/2014, 04:08 PM

I would say somewhere between 300 and 500 hundred. Prob $350?

NecroPhile · 08/26/2014, 04:13 PM

Exactly my point. You've decided what it's worth, so you're wasting everyone's time.

Opethian · 08/26/2014, 04:29 PM

this thread topic is misleading. it should be changed to:

CrackTiger · 08/26/2014, 04:33 PM

I think $100 is fair for those who want to pay a premium for the novelty of tearing it open.

This thread seems disingenuous at best. Ignoring that, there's a simple solution that possibly hasn't been discussed enough so far in this thread: you HAVE a complete copy of the game. If you weren't trying to flip it for profit cuz "Businessman!" then you could just play it now and use the map should you ever get lost.

Doesn't really matter what you think its worth. It only matters what potential buyers are willing to pay; which varies from arena to arena.
