How to tell if your old video games are valuable
While SpinCash is famous for CDs and DVDs, video games are arguably the most lucrative form of disc-based physical media on the market today. The retro gaming market has exploded, and discs for consoles like the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox 360 are highly sought after.
CIB: The Magic Acronym
In the game collecting world, CIB stands for Complete In Box. This means the game includes the original case, the original cover art, the disc, and crucially, the instruction manual. A CIB copy of a game can easily be worth double or triple the price of a loose disc.
What Consoles are Hot?
- Nintendo GameCube: Nearly any first-party Nintendo game for the GameCube (Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros) is worth serious money today.
- PlayStation 2: While many PS2 games are common, niche JRPGs (Japanese Role-Playing Games) and horror titles like Silent Hill are incredibly valuable.
- Nintendo Wii: Family games hold value well, but look out for rare third-party titles.
