Which PS1 games can be worth hundreds of dollars?
Complete copies of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Revelations: Persona, Tail Concerto, and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment can be worth hundreds of dollars. In this chart, their market values range from $495 to $624.50.
Completeness makes a big difference. The Misadventures of Tron Bonne is listed at $624.50 complete, compared with $249.99 for the loose disc. That’s a $374.51 gap.
You don’t need one of the highest-priced games to have something worth checking. Silent Hill, Parasite Eve 2, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and PaRappa the Rapper also appear here, with complete copies valued above $150.
Before selling, double-check that you have the original cases, artwork, and manuals. Keep every disc with its matching game, especially titles that include more than one disc.
These are market values, not our buying offers. Search our catalog for the current amount we pay for your complete PS1 games.
Why don’t we buy PS1 games that aren’t complete?
We don’t buy incomplete PS1 games because our customers purchase them far less often than complete copies. Games with their original case, artwork, and manual are what sell more consistently for us.
A complete copy of Silent Hill is worth about $302.50, while the loose disc is about $177.50. That’s a $125 difference for the same game.
That gap has grown substantially. In 2014, a complete copy was worth only $7 more than the disc alone. The chart shows the growing price premium for completeness; in our business, incomplete copies don’t sell nearly as often.
A loose disc can still have market value, but that doesn’t mean it sells consistently enough for us to buy it. That’s why we require PS1 games to include their original case, artwork, and manual.
Before adding your games to an order, check that the discs, cases, manuals, and artwork are all together.

▶ Do PS1 games need to include the original case and manual?
Yes. We do not accept loose PlayStation 1 discs. PS1 games must include the original case, artwork, manual, and game disc. We don't buy any PS1 games that are missing their manual, all PS1 games must be complete for us to buy them.
▶ Do black label and Greatest Hits versions have different trade-in prices?
Some PS1 games have separate trade-in prices for black label and Greatest Hits versions. The black label version was the original standard release, while the Greatest Hits version was the later re-release. In many cases, we pay more for the black label version.
