If you sell the Spider-Man games and folklore on eBay you would get most of your money back I reckon 


jzg3036

Me the fool who bought web of shadows and shattered dimensions 🥲 am very happy witht the games though 😂


rightfityeah

At this point most ps3 users just use cfw and pirate the games unless you’re a collector I don’t see the point, I just rebought all the games I traded in or only rented 2008-2012 and it cost quite a bit 


jzg3036

I'm only collecting certain games, I already bought the two most expensive ones I wanted, and now just buying 10-20$ games


thunderbastard_

I play for trophies mostly I played a lot of my favourites on the 360 years and years ago so it’s a nice excuse to play them again


Bony_Blair

This is me. I love earning the trophies, it feels like adding the game to my portfolio. If I didn't care so much getting games for free would be amazing, but I'd reel robbed not being able to show off my accomplishments on my profile (though let's be real, who's looking?).


thunderbastard_

The fellas on r/trophies . PS3 ones are less common too so you’ll Probobly have some good ones


Conscious-Part-1746

I hate getting rid of stuff, and then wanting again later.


star_platinum3

I just pirate because i dont have the money for ganes🥲


Account1893242379482

Man pretty sure i paid $5 for a used copy of folklore back in the day. Should have bought all the copies they had.


Lourdinn

Folklore is 40$ on ebay......


LazyWrite

I’ve heard similar before, why are the Spider-Man games so expensive?


Gay_Furry_Boi

Simply because: -It's Spider-Man -I don't think many copies sold


Lewa358

They've been delisted from all storefronts. Even with the PS3 store still working, Buying them secondhand is the *only* legal way to play them.


PSGuineaPig

Yeah, I see some bangers in there. Congratulations!


GeorgeSPattonJr

Have fun installing GT6 lol (S)pain


PoniesPlayingPoker

What do you have to install? I got my PS3 last summer, loaded in GT6 and have been playing with no issues


Tapernn

Let us know when you’re done with the crack pipe brother


DIMOH4Er

It got loads of content over the years and a lot of it is free, it includes new cars, tracks and events. So it's like playing a demo at this point if you don't update. The main problem is the size, you have to download around 20 gb so it takes a lot of time.


digital-comics-psp

cried when i brought a destiny disc and tried playing it on a friends ps3. i now have a wife kids and a white beard. his internet was slow...


PoniesPlayingPoker

Oh I think the previous owner did that for me, I bought it off a friend


impudentwanderer

Updates don't apply to a disc. You have to download those on every console you try to use it with.


craebeep31

Maybe they bought the PS3 off a friend and it wasn't factory reset.


DIMOH4Er

One way to check is to see if you have "Ayrton Senna Tribute" and "Sierra Time Rally" special events in main menu. You also should have "Vision GT" section with unique cars specifically made for the game.


PoniesPlayingPoker

Yep I have all that.


Abject_Love_1883

GT6 was deleted from the server. You need to play on a private server now.


FurryMcMemes

Whoa Folklore, a complete collection of Ratchet & Clank, a physical copy of Siren Blood Curse, multiple HD collections every God of War and Motorstorm, and they all look to be in pristine condition. $400 may be steep but with how well taken care of these cases look I assume the discs are in perfect condition as well, plus quite a few of the games in this collection are valuable, I paid $40 for a brand new copy of Ico & Shadow of the Colossus a few months ago so a used copy in that condition probably would be $30.


Peltonimo

Spiderman games go for around $100 for 3 of them


FrostyDaSnowmane

I think you mean each.


Peltonimo

That's what I meant. Not sure why it came out that way.


[deleted]

There's some very good stuff here, so yes.


scream_follow

If you play them all, yes. But otherwise you would be better off handpicking some gems and paying less.


Cappy_Orange

Based on today’s price of the games from this collection, it’s probably worth $1.300. Congratulations 👏


S3b45714N

They most certainly are not lol These aren't collectable, they're just regular old games. OP way overpaid for this


Cappy_Orange

Let’s name most collectible ones: Spiderman Web of Shadows - $119 Spiderman: Edge of Time - $90 Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions - $87 Silent Hill Downpour - $56 Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection - $53 Siren: Blood Curse - $50 The Sly Collection - $47 Folklore - $44 Killzone Trilogy Collection - $44 Alice: Madness Returns - $39 Ratchet & Clank Collection $39 Splinter Cell Classic Trilogy HD - $36 Prince of Persia Classic Trilogy HD - $34 Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty - $32 Drakengard 3 - $31 God of War Origins Collection - $30 Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus - $29 Amazing Spiderman - $26 Demon’s Souls - $25 These titles are worth more than $870, and the rest of the titles are a bit cheaper but the collection is definitely worth $1.300.


scream_follow

a lot of these prices are optimistic at best. also you have to find a buyer first and listing all these also takes time and work. op does not sound as if he is doing this as a business let alone a side hustle. surely you can make money by buying in bulk and selling single items after, but that's not the point I'm willing to bet \^\^


Cappy_Orange

Nobody is saying that he is reselling the games, he asked “was it worth $400?”. I said the whole collection is worth around $1.300, I didn’t say that he can sell whole collection for that money right now. Worth, selling and buying prices are not the same. If I was to buy this collection, I would pay half the worth, meaning $750 max and that is still almost x2 more than he paid.


S3b45714N

lol I can't believe anyone would be delusional enough to think you'd get those prices for those games


Cappy_Orange

The prices listed are for games that are actually sold at these prices. However, when individuals are selling them, the prices can be even higher.


Lewa358

A large number of these games are not available on modern consoles, are inferior on modern consoles, or (as the case with the Spiderman games) have been delisted so you can no longer buy them even digitally. Yes piracy exists but the PS3 is relatively hard to emulate and most people aren't knowledgeable enough or are otherwise unwilling to hack their PS3s.


JeepersCreepersV12

It's because someone "bought it" on eBay and drove the price up on Video Game Price Charts. Which is what people use for reference. I'm with you in that no one is actually buying these games at these prices. Except for the absolute die-hard fans and there a few left who are still looking for these cib games. Bet they're also hunting garage sales too, which is probably the most fun in collecting.


KAKYBAC

People actually are paying those prices though. They are pretty conservative too. Gen 7 is legitimately taking off.


JeepersCreepersV12

The extreme minority are buying at these prices. Gen 7 has been on the up and up for years, it's just now reaching popularity amongst casual people. It'll drop just like the 8-64bit wave of nostalgia. We'll still be here though


KAKYBAC

It has always been something like: release date +(20-25) years for peak pricing. Gen 7 kids are now in careers with more expendable cash. RD+50 years for people to stop caring/collectors dying.


JeepersCreepersV12

You just reminded me of a post where someone found a snes box at the dump... where all of our stuff is headed. Have a good day lol


KAKYBAC

Yikes. Yeah. Of course children may find value in it when they are older but i doubt they will want a room full of games, or even be able to cater for that. Even if so grandchildren and great grandchildren will just view them as middling to low value antiques. Museums will take the odd thing but not all of our collections. And then some of us may not have family to pass on to and the care homes won't have room for this shit.


the-blob1997

Yea the only ones that are valuable in there is Folklore, Siren, the Spider-Man games, Killzone trilogy and the God of war volume 2 collection. Everything else you can get for cheap or a relatively reasonable price.


YordanYonder

Wait. These games are worth money? Where can I look to find if my games are worth anything?


Old_Consequence730

Game Eye app, Pricecharting.com, and eBay, apart from FB Marketplace and word of mouth.


YordanYonder

Awesome resources, thank you! 🙏


Cappy_Orange

You can search on eBay, search for specific title and then select “sold items”, also select “buy it now” option, because if the “auction” option is selected, then the price is not reliable. Edit: I forgot to tell you, when you do all the above, chose condition of a game you have, then you will have the list of latest sales on eBay for a game just like yours. Also check for region, price for PAL and NTSC games are usually different. Take the price of the last 10 sold games, combine them, and use the average sold price, then that is the average worth of the game you have. PriceCharting is also working based on eBay sales. But they don’t update sales regularly so it’s still better to check on eBay.


YordanYonder

Omg. Thank you so much for all this info. Find the average, appreciate it! Sidebar, I found some old yugioh and Pokemon cards, I'm assuming that wave of value has passed? I should use the same methodology to find the value of the cards. I feel like cards require someone to grade it? etc. I'm not familiar with this world.


Cappy_Orange

You’re welcome. As for Yu-gi-oh! and Pokémon cards, I use cardmarket.com, they are reliable, and easy to find everything, there, you also have how much your card is worth, to which deck it belongs to and all kind of info. You just need to find your exact card, example, Dark Magician, there is so many of them, some are looking the same, some are not, but they are all different, with different worth, so look for the card number, its usually right below the picture/art on the right, it has mix of letters and numbers.


YordanYonder

Stellar! Thank you once more me! ❤️


HootingFlamingo

One gazillion percent YES


turinx

If the Spider-Man games and some of the other rares were not in the lot, I would say you probably over paid. That being said, you got a pretty good deal for what was included.


[deleted]

Probably paid close to retail


ZENRO_

Over 1000$ worth off games in this pictures 400 is not retail


trenchdick

Yeah there's 49 games if I counted right, so $8.16 per game. Most of the games in the pic are worth at least double that with some being a fair bit more. Like R&C Collection and Nexus are worth a fair amount each. I swear people in these collector subreddits know barely anything about the value of games lol.


Far-Objective-4240

blud got folklore, drakengard 3 and web of shadows cmon bro


glivvashimps

$1000 of games in 2012 lol


Yung_Ryuk

Siren is $80


S3b45714N

Back in 2012 maybe, now maybe $25


No_City_1731

Bollocks, there’s some rarities in here. Worth it


Ok_Hamster4014

I want to believe you, but I don’t.


No-Jello3256

Holy shit


ludoludoludo

Absolutely worth it


The_Enthusiast-316

Worth it if they haves codes included that work unless all physical copies then its perfect.


remastermwr

All these games being black label and in good condition makes it seem like a really nice pickup! There’s a chance you could have gotten a better deal but it seems like whoever sold this really cared about their collection!


Kostia_X_Rich

WHOAAAA totally worth it


rooftopkoreann

Good deal a lot of heat in this lot I’d pay 400$ for this all day


KirillNek0

O_0


BoundAndUse

Folklore! Yeah that's not a bad collection at all, definitely some of the gems of the generation. That's like an instant ps3 collection, nice haul!


untipofeliz

That´s a solid PS3 collection. You have fun for years to come!! I recently modded mine and my backlog just got 50 PS3 and 50 PS2 games bigger, haha


picantecholo

Web of shadows and Edge of time pay more than half that amount lol. You got a good deal.


Mr_OrangeOfficial

If you value each game at 30 dollars you're at 400 about halfway through the second row so you got an absolute steel


Mr_OrangeOfficial

So after a little math you only spent about $8.50 per game so you really got a great value especially considering what metal gear legacy collection is these days


Xeon713

Folklore, your Spiderman games and Sly Cooper trilogy make it so you've made money on that box.


Strongarm_11

You got some good stuff in there, a lot of great games to keep you busy! Definitely worth it! In terms of value, Folklore and all the Spider-Man games are pretty expensive and the Rachet and Clank, Sly, Jak ,and Metal gear collections are pretty valuable as well.


KonntRaBandayaya

Life isn't fair


Total_Trade_888

Bout tree fiddy


youessbee

400 what? Virgins? Donuts? Litres of blood? Difficult to tell with just a number.


GrangerPerry

Wow a whole box and no doubles! You did good! I paid 70 for folklore at a local game store Spider-Man web of shadows shattered dimensions edge of time are up there too. Ratchet Jak sly trilogy is around 50 each usually ratchet booty physical is nice it wasn’t available in the us physically. God of war origins is sought after because the “saga 5 game collection” was just a digital code so that origins disc was missing. Killzone collection has exclusively the only way to own Killzone hd on disc too. Who ever this belonged to clearly was passionate about getting the complete games on disc so really good collection starter


JustABrazilianHere

Jackpot.


SenpaiiiKush

Nope, more like 300 max


Apprehensive-Dig-905

No sports games, so they all have some value but I think it might be worth more like $200-300 US. There are some great pickups in that haul, enjoy!


qaasq

I paid $80 for that metal gear solid collection at my local retro game store. So I’d say yes, a ton of those games are pretty rare and expensive


tiziocaio6969

I cant find a single L game here


SierraMadre101

Good find man!


Fit-Ad9325

Yes


Calendar_Opposite

Give me siren blood curse.


Mrhood714

i think you did pretty solid - on ebay and waiting for the right person to buy you can get at least double of your investment but i don't think i would dive in for $400. Congrats though!


SelfFederal

Need to find a game called singularity. And blitz the league.


SelfFederal

Folk lore and heavenly sword are also rare finds


reesescupsftw

Damn heavenly sword is rare now? I remember going to gamestop back in the day and seeing it go for like $5 used. And the ps4 wasn't even out yet.


SelfFederal

Ik man. Were getting old lmao


S3b45714N

It's not, hundreds on sale on ebay for like $15


ArcticBeast3

Not sure if it’s worth anything but I’d love that copy or demon souls. Nice find


Fit-Addition659

I’ve seen the fallout new vegas ultimate edition being sold for 90€


[deleted]

Very good collection


RelevantWeight6907

The God of wars, MGS are about 300 in total here in Australia so yeah, damn good deal


Relentless_Vi

I never knew quest for booty got a physical release.


FprtuneREX

It did in EU and I think JP


Relentless_Vi

That would make sense, thanks.


Sire_theKing

Terrible deal, let me buy them off you and get your money back👀 /s Seriously though, that’s a good deal if you plan on playing/collecting them. Those Sly/GoW HD collections, Silent Hills, FO ultimate editions and Alice Madness Returns are all big earners, here in Aus/NZ anyway. And in such good condition, I’m *totally* not jealous


pulitzerkenny18

i would pay that much for the Infamous + Resistance series’ alone


TWAT_BUGS

Silent Hill HD was worth the price alone!


Powerful-Option-4595

🥵


Revolutionary-Limit3

It just kept going, good god


Far_Dealer3308

HOLY CHRIST! YES!


TanzuI5

Who ever owned these had fantastic taste in games.


Mantasreddit

That ICO + SotC collection! I got mine along with the Valve Orange Box for what amounted to about $5 at a used game store five years ago. Couldn't believe it. This is a great haul for $400... Enjoy!


Peltonimo

Stealing pictures stop have goals of what to get. Most of the best heavy hitters are here. Just need some cheaper games to fill in the rest.


LogaVL

Don't you guyz know about jailbreak ?


Different-Notice-302

W


purpact27

$400 woulda left my pocket rq , I don’t even own a PS3 lmao


ViscountDeVesci

If those are all playable, you did AWESOME!


Totaledtomato47

I’m sorry is that a fallout NV steel book?


Infam0usj2

If you mean the first pic, nah. Base NV came with a cardboard sleeve. But it’s just a standard box under it.


mwm433

What a get, absolutely worth it m8 👏


Devastator_M1

Holy shit good collection!


Fritz-Robinson

Oh man .! I haven't seen infamous in a while.! What a fun set of games that was.! I enjoyed the story line too.! Very Underrated game IMO.


Bambrigade92

How much is all of this worth from Pricecharting?


Yung_Ryuk

Great purchase price i would have bought it for that price aswell!


AutomaticFeature9631

That's awesome dude. Into the nexus is a sweet find!


raccOdeath

Fuck yeah.


MageBeLike

Yeah Spider-Man games atm are selling for a mint, I think it was after NWH hit theatres.


ShadowReflex21

Motorstorm series is great. Lots of gems in here!


mrblonde55

Whoever you bought this from has incredibly good taste.


Dwarf-Eater

As far as collecting goes that's a solid score. I personally couldn't pay 400 but that doesn't mean it's not easily worth that much! They all look gr8 condition too+


reesescupsftw

There's some rare stuff in there. You're definitely getting $400 worth of games.


Zombiereader255

My dude, you got Fallout new Vegas and Shattered Dimensions, totally worth it


Lezukion

A mint copy of Folklore is already worth 10 to 20 of the others combined. I got my sealed copy of Folklore for $70, and that was almost 9 years ago. I bet the price has already increased by now.


Soft-Independent-290

Who much do you want for it all


GreenPRanger

On a hard drive, however, this takes up much less analogue space.


ksnoope

I would have only paid $250 for them.


choochenstein

I got a lot off eBay not too long ago for $80ish for about the same amount of games. $400 is oof territory.


choochenstein

Update: there’s a few bangers here though, so I’ll say I’d probably go 250. Nice collection either way.


No_Advisor3584

I would say you got a really great find. Congrat....


OkContribution4087

those 4 spider man games make it worth around that 400 easily


BoerseunZA

Yes. They would have cost more if purchased separately. And there are many classics included. Now the question becomes one of whether you collect or sell for profit.


uncreativemind2099

3 of the Spider-Man games go for $100 each so I would say you got a hell of a deal lol


[deleted]

Definitely worth it


Appropriate_Two_6157

Money doesn't make u happy. These games sure will do


ssvp27

Wowy ka zowy 🤗


richbroth

Sure you did.


kingcobrarulesmylife

No


No_Monitor9884

If this is America yes, if the UK no If this is to collect yes, if this is to resell no


Every_Scientist3380

You already know you did 🤣 well or you wouldn't have bought them. Anybody who spends $400 uneducated is a special individual. But here's your attention you seek! 👍


Independent-Pick8848

Ngl the best 400 wasted in your life!! Good gaming 💯


Educational-Lynx-370

400 what? Bananas?


majoramiibo

you got the short end of the stick but only by 100-120


Brokenloan

It's a beautiful thing


bigJane247

I mean you spent 400$ on games for a system that has a flaw where apparently unless you replace the thermal paste and do a few other tweaks it is guaranteed to die and be unusable at some point. That system is also multiple generations old at this point and was probably the worst PlayStation system lol.


RedWizxrd

holy FUCK!!! i’m jealous. YOU GOT ICO!!! and the SLY GAMES?!


SVFFER16

I'd cry if I opened a box and literally almost all the R&C games were in it, amazing find broskie


[deleted]

I think 400 is a little much but looks like you got some good games there


Djjettison88

Wow, lots of great games here. Wish I had that Splinter Cell trilogy!


bat-man1999

Nice box full of games have fun


Poway_Morongo

Worth it, because those Spider-Man games are worth close to 300 alone at the moment, plus there’s some good collection games like mgs, r&c and sly cooper. Not an amazing deal but definitely worth it according to current prices


three-sense

Alice is uncommon as well. Bring dat average up


Poway_Morongo

Yeah for sure, at second glance it does seem to be a pretty good deal overall


TooMuchTime00

Purchase approved :)


Personal-Goat-7545

I would have paid $810 for that and I'm cheap.


Iboss1990

Keep lying


PaulQuin

Siren Blood Curse is a rare game but also complete garbage. 😉


[deleted]

Solid


chubbylv23

Ya believe anything 😂😂😂. This post is 100% bs it gave it away with the pal games


Dblock98

Lol, just mod the ps3 and get all and every game u want and need


Jamaican_Banned

Absolutely love Dead Space


EELSKILLS

Bro you just stole them from the person


Bubbly_Pound8201

Just rub it in why dont ya


AdFantastic8655

400 £ or $ is not worth it to be honest. Unless they're for u? If that's the case, then still not worth it


Luminite_but_not

Absolutely, Dead Space 1 and 2, plus Drakengard 3 are so worth it. And it comes with a bunch of other games too lol.


BulletGamess

No skate 3 bad box /s


killerob666

400 what? 400 hugs? Bitcoins? 400 nuts? What?


Normal-Item-402

If you sell the correct games in that set then yes it was worth it.


sephiruth

Those silent hills could profit you 3x the price you paid


Physical-Artichoke55

Those look PRISTINE


Du2insane

Great collection, I think you got a great deal.


ChemistryOwn2620

HELL no it ain't worth it! The majority of those can be found for $5 or less each at any local store that sells ps3 games. The only ones I noticed that actually have value right now are the Sly Cooper games. Those are selling for roughly $50 each. You essentially paid double.


Markolol123

Not really. 100 bucks for all of that would be expensive already


KOOLKIDKAEDEN

No way… that’s 100% a steal at least in Canada


Markolol123

Most of these games you can get for 5 bucks or less.


KOOLKIDKAEDEN

Not anywhere I’ve ever been, lowest I’ve seen any ps3 game within 8 hours of my house is $8


Markolol123

360owns

Lol 400??
