You've Got Grail! The Valuation Thread

Might as well ask, what does Espgaluda with everything but the box go for these days?

I've seen the last in yahoo ending for 414€

Truth be told PCB stuff has been undervalued for years, and we've all known this.

If you really wanted a CAVE PCB back around at its release that badly, you would have paid the £1,500 (sometimes less) asking price.

Perhaps many of us expected the £250-£500 kind of prices to carry on, and over the years until recently they have been doing this, but I guess we all put off shelling hundreds on these games on the assumption that we could always pick it up later.

Well that was never going to happen, just so happens that it is now-ish that these games are getting the prices they are really worth.

NEW-----Not doing well at release---Years passed 'old'---WTF deal---Starting to be realistic-What its really worth
£1500 -> £1,000 --------------->£500------------->£250---->£500--------------->£1,000-£1,500+

These games shouldn't be worth £250-£500 They should be worth £1,000+ because they are the original components of a part of gaming history.

These are not copies of games printed off in many thousands, to be owned by and played by a handful of individuals each.

Each one of these games has been played by many many people in gaming centres, but were never intended to be owned by an individual. They are unique, they are special. It is therefore (and rightly so), that they should be very much sought after and valuable.

But not all games were worth £1,000+ at the time of release, well...maybe those Cave games that nowadays everyone seem to fap over, and some Sega boards from back then featuring cutting edge techology, such as Sega Scaler, Model 2 & 3 etc.,

but I have seen old catalogs distributed by importers to arcade ops and most games were worth only a few hundreds at the time of release, cps1 & 2, neogeo, Taito F-3, Data East boards, Technos, Kaneko, Toaplan etc

Yeah, at it's height even SF II boards were pretty cheap.

I was having a laugh, of course but I can't stay in character very long.

Most of the later CAVE games are absolute ****, especially those starting with a Dodon, only reason they are so pricey is because no self respecting game centre wanted to buy those turds, so there is only 10 copies of each in existence.

I remember Mo telling me he paid £600 each for several SF2 pcbs close to release and £400 for boots. According to the Bank of England inflation calculator £600 in 1991 is £1161 in 2016 money.
