Hybris, factory sealed, how much is it worth?

cai24 · 30 January 2006, 12:21

Silly thing happened; I was tracking down original copy of hybris as it is my old favourite and I wanted to install it for whdload.

I bought a copy from italian guy, but before the deal happened I ended up on a bidding war that raised the price into 30 euros. I was fine with that, I wanted to play the game anyway.

the item description was in italian, i did not bother to translate it, maybe I should have, because..

When it arrived I was shocked -though in positive way-; it was still factory sealed!! The good thing was that I know that these are rare and worth something; the bad thing was that there's no way that I would open it and use it what I bought it for.

so now I got hybris in mint, factory sealed copy- but if I put it into sale some day how much should I ask for? I've never seen any of the games I look out for amiga in factory sealed condition. I didn't know that any could still exist. was the 30 euros I paid a bargain or a reasonable prize?

any suggestions for the prize?

There still exist many, many sealed games.
30€ is fine for a shrinkwrapped version. You can sell it for 50€ easily.

Thanks for the reply;
bloody WHdload does not support pirated version of hybris; but if I can sell it for 50; then I'd better not open it up..

I bought about 25 games factory sealed in 2002 for about $1-$4 each. I got them from the US Amiga store Turtle Lightning. It was a great store, but unfortunately the store closed a few months after I got them.

I didn't think it was a big deal at the time and of course opened them all. I guess I don't have the "buy-hoard-sell" mentality.

Yes me too, all my games are well in order in shelves ^^. I have posted pictures of my collection in SPS thread, try to locate it ^^.

Ive never come across many factory sealed games, the only one I have for the amiga is Beneath a Steel Sky with the £29.99 EB sticker still on the front

Yeah it doesn't happen that often. But i had the luck that i found a store which sold old games for a price of 2€ each and after i checked their games, i simpla yhad to buy about 50 of them. So if got a good stock of sealed games for a good price.
