The days of being able to sell just about anything on eBay are long over, but the digital auction house has turned into a treasure trove for collectors and sellers looking to exchange exclusive and hard to find games. Take a look at this list and then brush through your own collection, you never know what jackpot games you might have just sitting there collecting dust.
In order to be on this list, the game must have been actually sold (no wild asking prices without bids) and it must have been sold recently (this isn't an all-time list). Arcade games or games with massive peripherals are out of the running - only basic cartridges and discs count. Lastly, all of the games are ranked by their highest final selling price. Collections and/or lots don't count, only single titles here. Happy bidding!
