I worked at a pawn shop for 4 years and I learned a valuable lesson in this regard. Collectibles are never worth what they say they are because most people don't want them, and the people who do want them never want to pay full price.
To quote an old adage: a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. The bird in the hand being liquid currency, the two in the bush being a hypothetical valuation of a collectible sitting on your shelf.
There are extraordinarily few collectibles that you can throw online and instantly get a full value bid on. Unfortunately old video games is not one of them.
- dmonitor 4y agoI could see some games scratching that 5 digit mark. I recently saw Earthbound for $4000 open box, and I wouldn't be surprised if that number goes up for unopened copies.
