The 10 Most Expensive Video Games Ever Sold On EBay
The 10 Most Expensive Video Games Ever Sold On EBay – Here are the top 10 most expensive video games that have ever been sold on EBay. Some of these include: Super Mario Bros. and Final Fantasy. Others include: Resident Evil, Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, and Atlantis II.
Super Mario Bros. 3
“Super Mario Bros.” is one of the most iconic video game franchises of all time. It debuted in 1985 and has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. In fact, it’s the third-highest-selling video game of all time.
But, if you want to get a hold of a copy of the original game, you have to be willing to pay a hefty sum. Several years ago, a rare Nintendo game sold for $114,000, while a Gold Edition version was purchased for $100,000.
While the price of the game itself isn’t terribly expensive, you have to consider the packaging and other factors. For example, a sealed version of the game will usually come with its original box, manual and hangtab.
Final Fantasy
The Final Fantasy series is one of the longest running video game franchises of all time. The series has featured a total of 42 titles and has branched off into other types of games. Many of these games are available on modern consoles. However, some of the games are quite rare. Some of the most valuable are ones that are dated but still in print.
One of the most famous of these is Assassin’s Creed II. This game was released for the PlayStation 2 and it was considered the most expensive PlayStation game of all time.
Atlantis II competition cart
Atlantis is an iconic video game released in the early 80’s by Atari. Luckily for us, it was not the only one of its ilk. Fortunately, a few lucky gamers were rewarded with a coveted copy of the oh-so-slightly discontinued sequel, Atlantis II. Unlike its predecessor, Atlantis II boasts faster and more nimble game play, as well as a revised scoring system to reward the best players.
Fortunately, the sequel was not as widely available as the original, and was only manufactured in the far flung reaches of the sandbox. Despite its rarity, Atlantis II remains the single most popular Atari 2600 game. If you are a dedicated fan of the Atari flagship, you might be interested in knowing that Atlantis II was re-released in 2011 as Atlantis Atari Edition.
World Class Track Meet
There are hundreds of eBay auctions each day, but if you’re looking for a top-shelf gaming experience, you’d be best served by going to a reputable outlet. Whether it’s a nifty little handheld or a snazzy retro console, eBay is a treasure trove of collectibles if you know where to look. As with any auction, you can get a bargain by spotting a hidden gem, or you can splurge on a high-end title. The world of gaming is as rich and diverse as any upscale shopping mall, and it’s not difficult to find something that piqued your interest.
Resident Evil
The Resident Evil series is one of the most popular horror franchises of all time. While it has been enhanced for the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast, the original Resident Evil remains the best place to experience the full horror experience. Although the game has several flaws, its unique soundtrack and hack and slash action-based combat makes it a fun and engaging experience.
However, the game is actually quite difficult to find in its complete edition. Most copies of the game sell for between $400 and 600, although brand new copies can easily cost upwards of 590USD. If you can afford the price tag, however, it’s well worth the effort to emulate the game.
Tetris
This isn’t just any game on eBay. There is a specific group of games that are so rare that they’re sold for millions of dollars. The list includes the most expensive console games and the most expensive handheld games. Each game is listed by price and rarity.
Super Mario 64 was released on the Nintendo 64 and is the first game to have three dimensional graphics. It sold over 11 million copies and holds the record for the highest-grossing video game sale of all time.
The game has been re-released a few times. A sealed copy was sold for $870,000 at Heritage Auctions.
Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite vs Marvel vs Capcom 2: A New Age of Heroes
There are several things to consider when looking at the highest video game sales on eBay. For starters, some games are rare and not very old. Other games have been produced in very limited quantities and are incredibly valuable. Some games are expensive because of high demand. Others are rare because they are factory sealed or rare editions.
One of the most expensive video games ever sold is Super Mario Bros., which was bought by Rally Interactive for $140,000. It was then auctioned off for $2 million at auction.
