Ghost Recon 2
Rainbow Six (3) Gold Edition
Dungeon Siege
Icewind Dale 2
The Temple of Elemental Evil
Pools of Radiance -Ruins of Myth Drannor
Baldurs Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast
Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn
Baldurs Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal
Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide
Guild Wars

Any ideas on whether I should bother putting them on eBay?

How complete are they?  Boxes, instructions, etc., or just the media?

They are all 100% which is why I'm undecided on whether to give selling them a shot (most PC games don't bring that much these days, esp old ones).  If they end up on ebay it will probably be as a lot.

There are a couple there I might be interested in, but not for much money, and currently I'm not spending anything anyway if I can help it...

Might get a decent deal on some of those. I assume the Neverwinter Nights is not the old SSI game?

Nope, the NN is the more current PC title.

Having the box and all the contents makes a big difference in some cases.




** expired/removed eBay auction **




Strange that someone would pay that much for those two games since they just put out a compilation a few months back.



But I wouldnt expect much of anything for any of the other games.  Maybe Baldur's Gate.  Collectors seem to go for the older style big boxes rather than the newer small boxes.  Neverwinter Nights was compliled into Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and at least one other compilation pack that I know of so there are billions of copies of those floating around.  Pool of Radiance is widely considered to be one of the worst CRPG's ever made so good luck with that one.  Vampire the Masquerade - Redemption is a lot of fun but I dont really know if you will be able to get anything for it.  At least not if this auction has anything to say about it:




** expired/removed eBay auction **




Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, Icewind Dale, Guild Wars, Dungeon Siege, Temple of Elemental Evil (such potential  :cry: )....I would just toss them up on Ebay with .99 opening bids and see what happens.  It costs a bit to keep those boxes from getting damaged in transit....make your money on shipping.  :wink:



Never heard of Force 21.



Dungeon Siege.....great game.  :D

Thanks King of Pain!

I sold the Planescape game quite a while ago (one of the first things I sold on ebay I think).
