Do people not know that many shops have a machine to put things back into plastic wrap?

[P-Jay]

Nope, I don't get it.

What makes an old computer game so valuable???!!!

I have an old sealed copy of halo 1 so could I get £1200 for that in a few years?

Look a little closer and you will see the Nintendo foil tear strip in the packaging. Still think its a daft amount to pay.

I could understand if it was a rare limited edition or something, but it just looks like a standard sealed game? And the first thing that appears on the page is many used copies of the game from £0.99. A bit of a difference between opened and sealed!

Definitely - but have a look how much a standard 70's Luke Skywalker in, then find one sealed the the first UK release card. Huge price differential.

I have never collected sealed games (I'd want to play them) but people clearly do - probably the generation who are now just getting into middle management jobs with a high disposable income. They don't want to buy antiques like our parents did!

Its a bit fishy though. look at the winner and all the bidders. :S

The price of boxed and complete SNES games has shot up in recent years. Still regret the day I traded my mint copies of Secret of Mana, Super Metroid, Zelda 3 etc for Playstation games......
