: Many collectors prefer "Black Label" (original release) over "Greatest Hits" (red banner) versions for aesthetic reasons, though some red-label games contain updated, patched versions of the game.
: High effort (listing, shipping, dealing with fees and potential scams). What Determines Value?
: Ensure you are selling games that match your local region (e.g., NTSC for North America, PAL for Europe). Consoles are region-locked by default, so mixed collections are harder to sell locally. Checklist Before Selling
: Lower payout than private sales; some stores may refuse common "filler" titles like old sports games.
: Instant cash or store credit; knowledgeable staff can identify rare titles.
: Minor scratches are common, but deep "circular" scratches (from console movement) often make a game unsellable. Check for disc rot , a rare but permanent chemical decay that appears as small pinpricks of light when the disc is held up to a lamp.
Not all PS2 games are equal. A common title might fetch $2, while rare horror or RPG titles can exceed $100.
The "best" place to sell depends on whether you value convenience or profit.
