Title: Selling my adventure games collection.
Post by: odwyer1980 on Sun 09/10/2005 15:20:45
If anyone's looking for any original adventure games, I'm selling mine. Brings a tear to the eye. I had good times playing all these, but as times move on, I have decided to also.Ã, 

I know some of these are quite hard to get these days, so if you're interested:-

(Hopefully to real adventure game fans btw).

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sanitarium_W0QQitemZ8224910477QQcategoryZ11047QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Click on view other items to see them all.

Including Discworld Noir, Toonstruck, Myst, Riven, Curse of Monkey Island, Sanitarium, Broken Sword, Broken Sword 2, Grim Fandango and Blade Runner.

Games like Sanitarium are quite hard to get.

All original, in pretty good condition. Thought I'd let fellow adventure game fans know first, before anyone else got in.

Ive also put up Redguard, Forbidden City and Resident Evil 1 & 2 if anyone's interested. All originals.

I know they're hard to get hold of etc.

I totally recommend Redguard, if you haven't played it. I remember completing it just before the millennium.

Can i just ask why? surely itd be a better idea to keep hold of them, as you wont make much profit on them presently.

Are you saying they'll be worth something in years to come? I had no idea.

I'd be interested in snagging some but you're not exactly long-established here, nor on eBay.  Being overseas on top of that, just too little potential.  Best of luck though.  Personally, I'd hang on to some of the classics (like MI and GF) and sell off Resident Evil(s), Sanitarium and other games with questionable replay value.  Whatever you can get for Sanitarium should probably be grabbed since I can still buy it retail (bargain bin) for about $5.00. 

I'd set a minimum on Grim of at least 15 pounds.  If you can't get that much, don't bother.  Some die-hard fan's bound to consider it a bargain at that price.

I do say that someone that makes his first post, on selling his games, is a bit weird, to begin with. I guess this is why you don't get many respones in your thread...

Unfortunately I'm so ignorant of internet terms tha I can't name what this threa,d and what you're trying to do here, but I'm sure that there is a word.

Anyhow, welcome to the Best Free Game Engine For Adventure Games That Are Free: AGS

Did I mention free twice?

Hello.

The above post isn't my first post btw. I registered here months ago.

Yakspit - these are originals. I doubt you'd get original Sanitarium for $5 or whatever you claim.

Also, how about the fact - I use my surname as my handle. Yes, I think I'm pretty much legit, but thanks for casting doubt anyway. ;)

I can understand that though, as this is the internet.

All these games were bought between 1997-2000. I had them up in the loft because of the old boxes, but after getting them out, some look as good as new, some don't.

I've also added Outlaws and Heart of Darkness to the mix.

I'd prefer to sell to real game fans if I had the choice.

Yes, I think the 'internet term' you're looking for is:-

'Trying to sell his games to people who might have more interest in playing them then those who don't'.

::) :P

If they're worth more than I thought, I might take them down.

I had no idea the potential behind them.

I cannot believe the only Resident Evil 1 game on ebay, is my one. Is it really that rare?

I never had any idea. Come to think of it, what other of my games are rare?

Maybe I should have looked at the bigger picture before I put them on ebay.

is it rare or is it easy to find off of ebay?

I'm taking my Adventure Game collection to my grave, I'd never sell out. Maybe for a thousand bucks. ;)
