I don't have any sealed games, except the Elden Ring Collector's Edition box which I'm hanging onto until some future point. The only old game I have in-box at this point is Kirby's Dream Land which was the first game I ever got. Problem is, I sold my entire old game collection in the early 2010's. Made about $2000 altogether which isn't shabby, but it'd have been worth probably 5 times that now.

The only collectibles ever worth anything are things not meant to be collectibles, stuff subject to bubbles, or stuff that is actually rare and desirable
Most shit falls under #2. #1 is the dream, and #3 usually gets scooped up before plebs get a shot at it

I've noticed that a ton of other people (including me) sold a lot/most/all of their games in 2010. I wonder what it was about that particular year. For whatever reason it seemed like a good time to offload everything. I was mostly playing PS2/3 and emulators at that point, so everything pre-PS2 didn't serve much purpose anymore except collecting dust. I sold SO MANY mint in-box NES/SNES/PS1 games for like $20. The only thing that I think I got "what it's worth" on by modern standards was the very beat-up complete-in-box Earthbound I had, which fetched $600 or so. Given how beat-up it was (big boxes don't store well over the years if they're in a closet somewhere), I'm surprised I got that much. And of course I wish I'd sold everything in 2021+ instead, at the massively inflated prices of the modern era. Well, if a complete in box Kirby's Dream Land ever soars in value, I've got it.
If I could find a rare "Infiltrator" for NES i'd pay hundreds just to take it out to a mining blast and blow it to kingdom come. Haunts me to this day....we were young kids and my brother got Castlevania for xmas and I got "Infiltrator". 100's of attempts of fucking trying to pass the first round to fly my helictopter i finally make it to stage 2 and die in first minute. I beat almost every single NES game made when I was a young lad including all the traditional hard core ass rape games we all know and love but fuck me if infiltrator didn't almost stop me from being a video game player before I ever started.
Actually...god I'd probably be POTUS at this point had I not gotten mixed up in video games

Yeah I don't know to be honest, I sold a bunch of my SNES stuff to buy a PS2 save for like 6 games with all the boxes... FF6, Chrono Trigger, Ken Griffey Jr Baseball, Secret of Mana, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Metroid (can't believe I remember all of them). Then I sold my PS2 and games to buy a Gamecube, and the Majora's Mask was because my parents were moving and it was in the last box of stuff I had at their house since I had moved out a couple years earlier.

A look back at the year's top sellers, new releases, most-played games, and more!
Dying Light 2 being in the top is interesting
kinda sad 90% of games that make money now are all just f2p games

Story was decent, fuckton of content and quests for a completionist to chew on-- but the DLC not having any story, and going the Elden Ring route (PvP/PvE arena style DLC) when nobody actually likes DL2 combat is a major blow to the DL franchise.
Ring can do a PvP DLC because people actually enjoy combat in Ring. DL2 combat was never a strong point in terms of fun, so a DLC in DL2 where combat is the MAIN focus in a PvE arena with a leaderboard has almost no appeal outside of diehards. Calisto Protocol combat shits on it, and isn't even particularly done well. Calisto Protocol combat with DL2 story would have been more appropriate.
Overall, really disappointed to know DL2 sold that well only to release a human excrement DLC. Hopefully nobody bought it and the message gets sent. I know it was like 5.99 and a small DLC, but it wasn't what DL2 players wanted. At all.
It's interesting insofar as the DLC content DL2 promised has not been delivered.
