Okage :D. FFVII will go for 50$ on ebay, but if you really like that game you will probably end up rebuying it for $100.

Actually the price of FFVII have been on the decline for the past 3 years. The released of theses games on PSN have hurt the secondary market value for a while now. If peoplle really want to play the game they can just purchase it for $9.99 digitally. Plus the PS3 controller is exactly the same as the PS1 so thats a plus for the PS1 fans.

Sweet ass collection! Quality stuffs. I would be devastated to have to let all of that go.
I guess you're keeping Final Fantasy X?

And hope you get through this hardship quickly. Best of luck, man.

Thanks, well actually X is currently missing... Lend it to someone who hasn't returned it.

Guess I have not checked in awhile. Both VII and VIII go for $20 now good condition that I can see.

Man don't do it! I've had some rough times about 5 years ago, and never once considered selling my collection.

There has to be another way!

Edit: Are those ntsc by any chance?

Well, most of the ps1 classics are already on my ps3 so I'll be able to play them if i want to. And no, I've made up my mind.

It's almost 50/50 Ntsc/Pal

It's a shame you don't have the European Legend of Dragoon, then you'd be quids in but then I presume you bought some of those because they were never released in Europe.. I'm currently the opposite, I'm buying PS1 classics I couldn't afford as a kid but can now, just bought Front Mission 3.

That said, I have hundreds of comics if anyone wants to buy them...

Hmm, pie.

Ugh, these people are the worst. Also has happened to me before, now everyone who wants to lend something from me has to enter his name into a list and sign that he'll return it. Might not stop people who really want to steal that stuff, but at least I know exactly who has stuff from me and how long it has been since I lent it to them.
