whats it worth - factory sealed Doom thy flesh consumed

[Phobo]

that was sitting a looong time in my shelf





Really dont know why I bought it back in the days because I never really was a big gamer (except for a short time). Needing some space now I asked myself if its worth any money?

A quick look at current eBay and Amazon sales suggests around 80-90 USD being asked for a sealed copy, but I don't see any picture that matches that box cover, so maybe you have a rarer edition.

IIRC it's the UK version that uses that cover.

Probably not as much as you would expect. Just because it is factory sealed and its a part of a popular franchise wont necessarily net you a large sum of money. For example just a couple of days ago I bought a factory sealed copy of the first Deus Ex on Ebay, a game that is very well known and popular and I got it for about $30.

Currently the european version unsealed goes for about £15 to £20. Sealed ones of these however are a rarity, but despite this i've seen them go for only £40 to £50, which is still a lot mind you.

It's nothing compared to mail order copies. Those are £200+ these days.

To be honest I dont really have a idea. I only came across one version on eBay german that is also factory sealed and is available for 799,- euros but I thought that must be way too high and dont think anyone will pay that much.

That's ridiculous.

If i were you I'd put it up for 100 euros and let it stew for a few months.

Yeah, the problem is that if something is popular, there's also the good chance that it was pretty common. For something to be valuable it needs to be popular (or at least popular enough someone wants it) AND rare. Kinda like how everyone thought X-Men #1 in 1991 was going to be valuable... not valuable when it sells eight million copies.

Got my sealed uk doom copy 5 years ago for 20$ if I remember right

and i thought that asus rog swift monitor for 800 euros is too expensive. now i can spend the same money and look at a box.
