Rare Video Games Auctions, Sales & Pricing

If you counting down until the start of Memorial Day weekend, you are not alone.

This weekend presents a great opportunity to relax, enjoy spending time/appreciating friends and family, and gaming.

Most importantly, it is a time to remember the sacrifices made by members of the military. In keeping with the patriotic theme of the weekend, we are featuring a game with a rare, patriotic cover. This particular copy of Syphon Filter 3 is rare (and valuable) partly because of that patriotic aspect!

A few months back, we ran a list of the rarest, uncommon, cheap SNES games.

It was a pretty comprehensive list, but we decided it was time to add to it. If you have not already done so, you can check out our original list of rare and uncommon SNES games that are also affordable.

Believe it or not, there are even rarer, cheap SNES games out there if you take the time to look for them. Read more…

WWF No Mercy is a pro wrestling video game that was released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64. This WWF No Mercy N64 was created as a follow-up to the game WWF WrestleMania 2000 which was released in 1999.

WWF No Mercy also ended up being the last World Wrestling Federation game that released for the N64. This game was well liked by gamers as well as video game critics. To this day, it is still a favorite among N64 gamers. Read more…

Cheap NES games that are also rare or uncommon can sound like a misnomer.

However, you can, in fact, buy NES games that are pretty hard to come by but are still affordable. You just have to shop around until you find those NES games that have a respectable rarity score and a reasonable price tag.

It is true that many NES games for sale that are also extremely rare are rather costly. Today, we are going to provide you with a list of those Nintendo Entertainment System games that are both somewhat rare and also affordable. Read more…

We retro hunters are a savvy bunch. We know when particular games are rare or uncommon, they also tend to be expensive. While higher prices are often associated with rare games, there are hard to find games out there that are actually reasonably priced. Some relatively uncommon (and dare I say rare) cheap SNES  games actually exist on the market if you’re willing to dig a bit. Read more…

I spotted an eBay listing for the Pokemon SoulSilver game recently. Although this game is listed as ‘ultra rare,’ you can actually find a handful of listings for the same game.

Heck, these two games (SoulSilver and HeartGold) collective garnered OVER 1.73 million in US sales in their first month. Within 4 years, these games sold 12.72 million copies worldwide. As such, over 12 MILLION COPIES of these games were manufactured (likely a solid 1 or 2 million extra were created as a buffer in the event of shortages).

Ultra rare game – I THINK NOT! Read more…

An incredibly rare Halo Master Chief Helmet was recently listed for sale on Ebay. Before you criticize me for calling this rare, only 2 of these official helmets were ever made. What makes this Halo Helmet even more valuable is the fact that it was signed by executives, engineers, designers, and other members of the development team who helped create and develop the post-Bungie Halo series.

As many of you know, the new Nintendo 3DSXL released 2 years ago back in February 2015. In September of 2015, the Nintendo 3DS released. Both of these handheld Nintendo consoles were released over a year ago to critical acclaim.

So, imagine my chagrin when I discovered that these handhelds have become NEARLY impossible to find in stores. The NES Classic has proven to be a challenge to locate as well. The unfortunate result is that both consoles’ prices have skyrocketed (3DS to well over $200 and the Classic Edition to over $100!!)
