Arcade Top Site

Hello,

I’m thinking of selling some old videogames on eBay but I’m not sure what prices I should set for each auction.

I have a collection of about 100 games from ’97 to ’02. I’ve had a quick look at eBay and it seems like most of the games from that time sell very cheaply.

I think some of the games I have might be collectors’ items, but I’m not sure which ones. Could someone please tell me if there are any online price guides or lists of completed auctions from the past 2 years?

I’d also be interested to know how much I could get for the following.

PS
Lunar Silver Star Story
Elemental Gearbolt
Xenogears
Final Fantasy Tactics
Chrono Cross
Threads of Fate
Persona: Revelations
Tactics Ogre
Valkyrie Profile
Lightning Legend (Japanese import)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
PocketStation

DreamCast
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Skies of Arcadia

Nintendo 64
Ogre Battle 64
Paper Mario

Thanks.

I sell on eBay, and you will have to look them up one at a time to see what the other sellers are getting for them. Be sure to sell them seperately so you get more out of them. Shipping for one game with the box is about $2 so be sure to keep that in mind. If you have a free paper in your town, try selling them in there first, in bulk, and ask what you want for them, you might be surprised. Someone right around there might buy them from you.

Remember when you got to put your initials after your high score?

Pac Man, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, etc……

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feelin’ all the bumpers,
Always playin’ clean.
He plays by intuition.
The digit counters fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.
He’s a pinball wizard,
There has to be a twist.
A pinball wizard,
Got such a supple wrist!

I remember…….

I am going to an arcade today but I want to know if "Stack To The Top" is rigged. I went previously and I went up to Major Prize and when I stopped it, it skipped one. Is it possible to win? Also, other than stoopidgames.com, does anyone have a site that I can practice it with the normal speed of the REAL arcade machine? I find the stoppages site good, but it isn’t the actual speed.

Thanks in Advance!!

I have worked in an arcade and I think I remember that these machines have a certain dial inside that can only be accessed by the owner. This dial can be used to adjust the probability and speed factor allowing for easier wins or near impossible odds. Each machine is different due to those dials.

Its not a scam because they dont make it impossible to win and there IS still that luck factor. For example at the arcade I worked at some guy won a nintendo gamecube (this was when it was new) and all he had was 6 tries (6 bucks)!!!!!!

One of my fav music video’s i ahve made so far.
Games include
Fire emblem
Tales of symphonia
phantasy star online
baten kaitos

I wanted to buy a good yugioh game that i can test out decks of mine with people online. i currently have the 2010 reverse of arcadia for DS and the password system is pretty dumb. the passwords only work for cards you currently have. other than trying to get a higher quantity of cards with the passwords, it doesnt really help unlock anything.

i had an old game called "Yugioh Eternal Duelist Soul" which was perfect because it used passwords to get cards you didnt have. i would take it to my summer camp back then, look at my friends collection of cards. and put in almost every card i liked. unfortunatly i lost the game a while ago. im sure gamestop might have a used one somewhere. id get it again but because its outdated, it wont have syncro monsters or and new cards.

theres two new games coming out, one for Xbox360 (Decade Duelists) and for Wii (Duel Transer)
i would rather get the one for Xbox but the Wii one sounds like it would be more fun. anyway i wanted to know if anybody knows the situation with passwords and just overall if its going to be a good game.

Does anybody know a good Yugioh game that you can use passwords to unlock cards you DONT currently have?

I believe Yugioh:Eternal Duelist soul is the only game that has a password system that didnt, well, suck. all the other ones, theres some sort of catch, probably for obvious reasons…So, If your up to going old school, its the only way your going to be able to do it. Correct me if im wrong
