jaf Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 The other day I found a copy of the Last Express (in mint condition) in a second hand shop for.... 5.95€ and I just sold it on the net for 35€ Anyone had a similar luck? P.S. I just hope that that guy doesnt read these forums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I've had the opposite kind of luck, Jaf, I'm the mug who bought it. Just kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdunn Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 a couple years ago, I found an old copy of TLE in a Software Etc. marked $4.99, and they only charged me $1.00. Talk about a good bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny Minnie Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Wow! That game is such a classic that it was even worth the 35 bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleto4_ryan Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 oh....you meanie jaf..... (personally i would have kept it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mira Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Weird Jaf... why didn't you keep it? I guard it jealously among my prized possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragou Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I would be surprised if jaf didn't already have a copy of TLE. He was just after making money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curacao Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I've never understood why people think it's somehow wrong to make money off games if you buy them cheap. If people are willing to pay that price, why not? (btw, yeah, I'm 101% certain jaf has his own copy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanukitsune Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Lucky you... I sell my stuff on Ebay for half price and still nobody wants them, I only sold a DVD for 5 € and the buyer felt he got ripped off.... I cost me 10€.... I guess Jaf has a copy... But I don't... The best I did once was getting Eric the Unready for 1$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleto4_ryan Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 of course jaf has his own copy protected in plastic box and into some safe made from diamonds.... If he had sold his own then my mystic Last express organization would have burst into his house and force him playing ALL the adventures in the world (i LOVE having my loved games in 2 or more copies..... I have 2 Grim Fandangos 2 Longest Journeys 2 gabriel knight 1 3 gabriel knigt 2 etc etc ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomStLeger Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I recently bought The Last Express from someone for only euro35!! Can you believe it? I sold it on for £100. Whoever they are would kick themselves if they realised how valuable it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragou Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 You could make your living with selling used TLE copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyW Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Whoa, pleto, 3 gabriel knight 2's? cool 8) When I get a chance I'm buying Grim Fandango again, because I lost the box (and the box was in hebrew anyway, not the original) and then I 'll put the new copy into a sacred box, never opening it except to dust and keep my old version for playing. I might sell the old version someday, but that depends. Is there a specific reason why you like to have many copies of a game, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleto4_ryan Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 and then I 'll put the new copy into a sacred box, never opening it except to dust It's funny to say that..... My classic grim box, i have used on it those plastic "glue" pages that can cover the books...and never let them get dust on their surface and makes them look shiny I have it in my "best games" selves (safe) with Longest Journey, Last Express, indiana jones and the fate of atlantis (also covered with the "glue pages") and Gabriel Knight Mysteries (not covered.... ) I like to keep the first old boxes intact, and also when i saw Grim fandango selling as Classic in dvd-box i bought it for 2 reasons. Having it in my student house and (well....giving more money to the game.....i know it's some idiotic e? ) Also bought for the sames reason Longest Classic.... and Gabriel Knight 2....as i found it in the REAL BOX of 1996 Later a magazine gave Gabriel Knight 2 in a DVD disc....but for free. Got that also em..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
