Did I over pay for this stuff?

Long story short, I should have checked out what the auctioneer told me, I trusted this guy after knowing
him for about a dozen years... "everything in that box is all factory sealed". I should have dug deeper,
everything on the top half was but not the bottom half. Had 2 out-of-state telephone bidders and just
decided to outbid them.

That being said, for $2550 I came away with these games with unopened factory seals, have never looked
twice at video games in my life but I did because of out-of-state bidders. Hope I didn't lose money!

Playstation 1.......

Ford Racing
Pro-Pinball, Fantastic Journey
Dukes of Hazzard, Daisy Dukes it Out

Playstation 2

Final Fantasy X
Dirge of Cerberus, Final Fantasy VII (2 each)
Final Fantasy X
Virtua Fighter 4
Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XII

Nintendo

Pool Of Radiance
Tombs & Treasure
The Legend of Zelda (The wind Walker)
The Legend of Zelda (Four Swards Adventures
The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition (Promotional Disc...Not For Resale)

Windows 95
Myst
NHRA Drag Racing Main Event

And 9 games that factory seal is gone but don't appear to have ever been used, no box wear or scratches.
One is a Sega Genesis Sonic 3 (The Hedgehog)

Not for sure how to liquidate these, other than the really high dollar ones on Ebay went through a "Grader"
Where's the best place to have these "Graded"? Believe it would increase the value.

Everything I got are the last 4 pictures of video games here.......

Any help would be appreciated how to move these down the road.

There's still money in the box, just not a lot. Take the box to Game Stop see what they offer you. marble falls Dec 2022 #1

If they can go $3000, take it and be rid of the headache of breaking it down to sell.

Look online to see what each one is worth.

Some Nintendo Mario game just sold recently in the millions.

Good luck!

You're likely looking at a huge pile of cash!!!

Zelda is outrageously popular!

That's the game series Nintendo has literally been teasing a new release for, for years in game circles!

Final Fantasy is one series gamers have been begging for new releases gor years! I've seen articles on it.

And, believe it or not, there are geek folks who love historical Windows stuff!

Good luck! No idea how to move the stuff, but ebay is your new best friend.

Post in gaming forum here.

Do not trust kids at Game Stop. They might be great folks, but may not be honest about Zelda.

You need to create hype about Zelda, Final Fantasy & Windows, if not the others. Not sure how to do that, but don't undersell them.

There are, no doubt, message boards for gamers...
