Answer 1

Well, I'm gonna be blunt. If you think because they are old, they are classic, and automatically worth a lot of money, you would be wrong. I'm assuming you're not a big gamer, but maybe I"m wrong.

I would go on Ebay, and search for the exact product, and see what they are selling for. I don't know if you'd get a great number of bids, or listings, but its worth a shot.

I remember standing in an EBGames store, about 6 years ago, and watching a man come in with some old PC games, and he put them up on the counter, and asked how much they were worth. He looked completely crestfallen when the store buyer told him about $1.00, each without even looking it up. Clearly the seller was expecting some ultra high buy price offering, because the game was old, and somehow that made it a classic. I don't know if that's what you think, but wanted to relay that story.

I know Gamestop may buy used PC games, and PC consoles, but I would not sell them there, if you're getting ripped off. Much better to resell on EBay, or Amazon.com for a higher profit.

Another thing you can do is sign on to Gamefaqs.com, and pick the brains of some Hardcore gamers. I bet you'll get a fast response there too.

Good luck!
