Does anyone know of any websites where you can find out the rarity or value of old PC games?
I've got boxed copies of Zork I-III, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Faery Tale Adventure (all 3.5") that I want to put up on eBay, but I don't want to sell them for peanuts if they're worth something! |

I once saw the complete collection of Space Quest for 40€ each. And it started at the amount of 0€. So I think if your games are rare they will reach a high amount...

I suppose the average price they are going for on eBay would be the best way to find out. Besides you wouldn't get a sale if they were higher.

I've seen the complete collection of Leisure Suit Larry (1-7) go for $150 on eBay :blink:

Thanks, I guess I'll just put them on eBay and see what happens.
I saw an unopened copy of Monkey Island 2 go for ?100 recently so I thought I'd start digging out some of my old games that are sat gathering dust. A site listing the rarity of games would be really useful, but it doesn't look like any exist  |

In the past, I was looking for an original of "Touch?: the adventures of the fifth muscheteer" and I come in a site of game collectors (that game was saled at 150€ or more :eeeeeh: ) I'm sorry that I've not the link for you...

Those are exceptions though - often because there's something rare about it.
The LSL collection isn't rare - what IS rare is the Quest for Glory Anthology which will always fetch over ?30 on ebay. Other rare games: Touché The Fifth Musketeer -- sells for ?50-100 easily (I know, I sold one copy for ?100 once  )Discworld II in original packaging (none of the re-release stuff) For a good idea, check Gametz and check out the "wanted"/"available" ratio.

Well if its original, good condition or never opened and either a classic or from a small production run you should be able to get a highish price. generally the older the better.
Most SNES games sell for more than N64 now. |
