people selling games off on ebay

[John Given]

With me, it's mostly about the rare games.

I used to play a lot of Dungeons and Dragons back in the day, and some of their older products have become quite rare...and valuable. I tried bidding on one dungeon adventure that originally sold for about $15 in the store. Bidding got up to over $50 before I bailed out (started around $20)

I also still play super nintendo, and many of the game cartridges have become quite rare as well -some sell for up to $100 if it had the original box and booklet included.

But that's all for buyers I guess - when it comes to selling - dunno, haven't really looked into it much, but those who make money at it tend to be pretty knowledgeable, internet-wise. I have a lot of old gaming materials I know I'll never use again - mostly Twilight 2000, Car Wars, Battletech, and Star Fleet Battles stuff - but I've been too busy to look into how to sell it.

As far as hacking - that's something that would have to be done inside one's computer - the CD itself should be fine, if it is indeed a factory CD and not a ripped bootleg copy.
