Ps2 games are serious buisness for collectors and thats the truth, why do you think im on here preaching about buying PS2 games cause one day your going to say, wow im glad i listened to Rodney on pixlbit,lol. So you want an awesome example , how many of you ever played the Hack series on the ps2? I owned the complete set at one time and really didnt care for the game myself,as a matter of fact i was complaining cause evrytime i almost got done with one part two came out then three and i was thinking what a bunch of money hungry developers. But now after all of that this same set of Hack games i was complaining about and sold for next to nothing is worth some big bucks today,
This set is $849 new on amazon
Now if thats not crazy i dont know what is this same set used is $250 plus,and me being an idiot and selling these games hurt especially since im a collector now. Some of the most important things to look for when collecting ps2 games are, for a game player usually green labels and red labels which are greatest hits are usually better as far as game playing performance, but as a collector you want the black label which is the first print release of the game and are the most sought after by collectors.
And little has changed since the ps1 the black label is original print then the red label is the 1st greatest hits then the green is the second greatest hits so green being the best performance of the three and black being the most valuable to collectors and as always with games condition, cd wear and complete with original artwork and manual and any bonus material that may have been released with the game.
So a good example of game buying is like my little delimma i had, as a collector original complete games is all i deal with unless its a game that i just want to play, but anyway i wanted Devil summoner 1 & 2 and i was convinced to buy at a $100 plus for first prints of the game but with a second print made public it litterally drove the price down on both games and although you will still pay a little more for first print its not a quarter of what it was,so i went with the second print since the second print if limited will not redeem value for the first or second print for a long time.
Lunar complete on amazon $249 used
So as you can see ps2 collecting can be a lucretive hobby and can be very profitable if you buy and sell smartly or you can be like me and just collect to collect, till next time.
