I never knew Chibi Robo was worth anything at all, I've got a copy or two of that in the attic. Bizarre, the things people will pay for. To eBay!

UK? Bro it's worth double that now

 

[Impotaku]

For most modern games i rarely go over £100 unless it's some special edition or a limited print company release that i missed out on for switch and had to pay through ass for it on ebay. For retro stuff probably harmful park on PS1 it set me back £470 however it's not some faded shit tatty copy it's literally pristine there's no damage at all or fading to any part of it so something not often seen at all hence bidding was fierce on ebay for it.

Runner up would probably be gegege no kitaro last game on PS1 so really low print run, was about £380

$140 for the Vault Edition for COD MW2.....never again

I remember buying the $130 Halo 3 Collectors edition with a helmet.

Rushed home and realized you couldn't put the helmet on.

Still enjoyed the heck out of the game. But i was looking forward to walking around with a helmet on.

It was probably the Horizon Zero Dawn: Forbidden West collector's edition. I don't recall the exact cost but it was at least $150 if memory serves.

I've been playing WoW for 6 years. Idk how much I've spent on it but it's a lot.

 

[Leonidas]

Rock Band (2007), the full set for ~$170.

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

I think it was 330$

 

[Foxt3r]

Pokemon Red Mint 1000$. No regrets

 

[Rac3r]

FF7 Rebirth Deluxe Edition. $100.

 

[Ogbert]

Neo Geo Samurai Showdown back in the 90s.

Can’t remember exactly how much. Close to £400 if I remember correctly. Me and my brother stockpiled our money.

Spent a lot on SNES imports too. Always comfortably over £100.

It's interesting, if you adjust for inflation it's probably Resident Evil 2, which I bought on day of release in 1998 for £50 - it's the equivalent to £110 in 2024 apparently - https://www.in2013dollars.com/uk/inflation/1998?amount=50

Inflation-adjusted it's these two:

Both 139,-- DM in the early nineties.

Phantasy Star 2 was 179,-- DM, but I never had a Mega Drive.

For comparison with today's prices:
1 € = 2 DM
So 140 DM = 70 €, and to account for inflation since the early nineties it probably makes sense to triple the number, so we end up at about 200 € for each of the two games.

Games are cheap nowadays.

€ 700,- for an Ibara kuro Jamma full kit over a decade ago .

 

[Naked Lunch]

$100 for Battle Garegga.
$150 for Radiant Silvergun.
$200 for Panzer Dragoon Saga.

All for Saturn of course.
In the early 2000s. Worth every penny. Still 3 of my all time favorites - regardless of paying that much.

Think I paid about £80 for the Final Fantasy XIII special edition. Big mistake.

40 quid on AC Odyssey, i used my points on their site to bring the price down.
