As you’ve probably heard by now, the prices for retro/legacy video games have been skyrocketing. Generally speaking a lot of titles have seen a huge boost in value on eBay and the resale market. But when it comes to those rare games, or ‘hidden gems’ that collectors love to hunt, those are going for 2x to 3x their original value.
Recently I grabbed a handful of games that we’ll run through, including a rare PS3 game that’s seen a lot of interest lately. Better yet I got it brand new, with a slight caveat.. Join me for Episode 2 of our game collecting series, where I hurt my wallet for your viewing pleasure. (I’m sorry wallet, but this isn’t your first rodeo).

I bought sonic 2006 for 5 dollars and the first mission kept glitching -.-
I got Folklore for $110 on ebay and it was worth it. Immaculate condition except the plastic wrapping was removed. I'm going to play it anyway so that doesn't matter.
I dont know if you use their site but Video Games New York still has tons of brand new sealed games on vita and other systems. Just grabbed a sealed DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 for ps1 fof 25 bucks
Puppeteer, 3D Dot Heroes, and R&C: Into The Nexus are a few of the games I got way before the prices got silly.
Mann, i recently picked up Folklore too; price was really good (1,000 pesos) which is 50 bucks. This considering the game has sky rocketed the past couple of months.
The catch being click bait 101, smh
It's not a terrible sonic game , sonic 06 ps3 is last good sonic game till sonic forces came out, sonic forces 3rd fav, sonic o6 2nd fav, adventure 2 4th fav and sonic adventure fav sonic game
Folklore I originally played that game at Walmart on the demo PS3! I loved it I just never got a PS3 to actually buy it! 🙁
Why not Oblivion GOTY?
Really enjoying this video format !
You should try to get the platinum in Thumper. It's really difficult
Ryan: Let's… (2 second freeze)
My brain : (talk Playstation!! Talk Playstation)
Ryan: break into these.
I got a used like new Collector's Edition from Amazon it turned out to be Brand New it was sold by Warehouse Deals which is Customer Returns.
I Got Lollipop 🍭Chainsaw for PS3 I Paid 5 Dollars it was Complete and now it sells for 90 dollars or more.
Got a like new copy of Eternal Darkness for GameCube only paid 39 dollars its now valued at over 100 dollars.
On the PS3 and XBOX360 era of games…. Go for the Complete/Game of the year editions as they do have at least up to date patches and DLC on disk(s). So when the online stores do go offline, you will still have all the content.
Do you buy from Play Aisa?
Let us guess. It's White Knight Chronicles.
EDIT: So close lol.
Dark Cloud is a great game!
Would love to see more Nintendo games here.
Game room tour?? 🎮
Still got my sealed copy of Folklore, don't know if I'll ever open it lol
awesome video!
I bought folklore brand new full price when it came out and was kind of pissed to see it go on clearance for like $15. Wish I had bought one to keep sealed but happy to still have most of my ps3 games still. I did sell a few along the way that are high dollar ones now (like lollipop chainsaw which was such a bad game, not sure why it's worth a lot)
I’ve got over 200+ PS3 early year games up to around 2010 at the latest, I’ve never really been a seller or part exchanger of games
I still play a few every now and then, I love my PS3
The best version of FFX is still the ps2 version
I got folklore new sealed 8 months ago for 48 bucks glad I bought it
I looked at my vf5 copy. My cover art is vibrant. So sadly, your cover art could be faded or maybe its the clear plastic.
What do you search to find these including filters I searched game lots and not having much luck to find lots
I remember calling sony one time when playstation network was down and they sent me a copy on until dawn and it had a hole punch
Dark cloud was the first game I ever fell in love with gaming. I wish they made a DC3.
I just can’t believe that there are rare ps4 games already I have the physical release of marvel Capcom ultimate 3 for ps4 and complete in box it sets people back usually $60-90. All because that was made a GameStop exclusive physical release don’t know about the other versions though.
If you own an Xbox One or Series X console Blinx The Timesweeper is backwards compatible via the disc, with updated internal resolution for modern displays, it's aged very well in the graphics department.
$130 for Folklore?
It's a decent game but not worth even close to that price in my opinion. The forced motion control use irritated me as it just felt like an unnecessary gimmick. It probably didn't help that within a couple months of getting a brand new Sony ps3 controller it already had bad drifting and the motion control didn't want to work correctly because of it, so I couldn't even play the game. Luckily my brother dropped me his ps3 stuff as he had moved onto the ps4, and his controller still worked.
Every game I've bought used from Amazon (fulfilled by Amazon) have been in great shape. Maybe I've just gotten lucky.
