Interesting topic I think. I thought of this a few days ago after I came across a dirt cheap sealed Splinter Cell 3D (3DS) for exactly $2. The only sealed game I ever got cheaper than that, was a copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula (SCD) for $1.
-
its not too hard to find current gen games for cheap sealed. the trick is getting 10 year old games sealed.
-
I found a sealed Dirty Harry and Mendel Palace for NES at the Movie Trading Company for about $4 each something like 5 years back. I also got a sealed Little Nikki in a lot on ebay even further back, it worked out to like $3 taking into account the full price I payed. I more recently found a sealed .Hack// G.U. Rebirth at a flea market for $10, though I'm really hoping to trade that one for an unsealed complete version plus the price difference because I wanna be able to play it, but I don't wanna ruin a sealed copy :/
-
Most paid for a sealed game?
Well that would be many of the collector edition games I buy brand new like i bought that Splinter Cell CE that came with the airplane. That was almost $200.
As for classic games, I really don't hunt for sealed games. If I happen to find one cheap I'll buy it. But then I want to find another to have opened. I have some classic games sealed only because I make it a habit that if I don't play it right now I leave it sealed til I want to play it. But once they become classic, then I just leave it sealed and find a loose copy because I'd feel kinda stupid opening a game worth good money now. lol
The last game I bought sealed that was classic when I bought it that I can think off was an Atari Jaguar CD game. I think I payed $10 for it.

Price at the register, it might be that $0.62 copy of Wappy Dog I bought the other day at Big Lots.
But if you count post-sale promotions, I actually got paid some obscene amount of money to play Halo 4 thanks to in-store promotions at BB + some American Express offers MS was running where they actually gave you money for beating the game. :P
-
I bought a sealed copy of Resident Evil 2 for game.com for $3.
-
Cheapest sealed game I ever bought was possibly Mega man Legends 2 at GameStop for $5. Its not sealed anymore but, most of them don't stay sealed for long.

Well, that's a low price that became an ever lower price over time :P
My own cheapest are tied: Personal Trainer Cooking and Ontamarama for $1 each. Runner-ups are Pilotwings Resort, Steeldiver, Sin and Punishment: Star Successor and Kirby's Epic Yarn for $3 each :)

I bought Tony Hawk 3 on N64 for $3 at a junk store. Then, I bought an Eternal Champions on Sega CD as part of a big wad of stuff in a junk store. I'd have to say it was less than a buck, but I have no real way to tell.

Wow, I've never seen a sealed Sega CD game. That's something!

Probably the cheapest and definitely the most awesome sealed game I have ever bought was last summer I came across a sealed copy of Majora's Mask on the N64 at a local flea market. Asked how much it was, the lady said $5 and I was like SOLD!!! Only downside is that the box has been damaged by something probably being set on top of it, but was still in great shape for a 13-year old game still in its original wrapper.

I found a few sealed games pretty inexpensively over the years:
Last year I found:
- Golden Sun: $3
- Soul Calibur II (GC): $4
- Pokemon Channel (GC): $4
- Sonic Heroes (GC): $4
- Kaboom (5200): $2
About 15 years ago, I grabbed a clearanced copy of Marky Mark: Make My Video (Sega CD) from Walmart for $3.
My favorite find was getting a new copy of Exodus (NES) in a retail store. About 5-6 years ago, I was shopping for a Confirmation gift for my nephew at a Christian bookstore and they had several copies of Exodus for both NES and Genesis for $10. If I knew then what I knew now, I'd bought out all of their stock.
And in college, someone gave me a case of unopened Genesis games -- about 12-15 games, all were Jurassic Park or Vectorman. I sold them on eBay and didn't save any for myself, as I wouldn't start collecting games for several more years.

Not sure what Wappy Dog is, but that's where I found some 3DS games for $2.

Last summer, I hit a yard sale that I *Really* hadn't felt like going to.
Well - thanks to the constant urging of my girl + the fact that it was only a 2-3 minute drive - I wound up getting there.
(I didn't have any idea of what I'd bought and/or what it was worth until a few hours later)...
There was a yellow, cloth GBC 'pouch' with a velcro flap & a zipper on it w/ a picture of Pikachu on it ==> price tag said 99 cents.
Right next to it was a sealed game in a box (also w/ a picture of Pikachu on it) ==> price tag said 49 cents.
For a buck & a 1/2, I said "Fuck it" and bought the bunch of it in spite of not knowing what any of it was.
What I (later found out that) I came home with for $1.50 =
(1) brand new-looking, yellow, Pikachu GBC pouch/holder...
...(inside of this pouch) was:
- (2) loose, cartridge & clear, plastic case-only games (Frogger & Pokemon: Special Pikachu Edition)
- A Pink-ish (I *think* that it's called "Berry") colored GBC; the insides had some corrosion -but- after I cleaned it out with a Q-Tip -n- some alcohol & put some batteries in it...it turned right on & worked just fine...
...
...(Inside of this GBC) was:
(1) Pokemon: Gold game
Oh yeah...that one sealed game that was 1/2 a buck...turned out to be a dupe of one of the loose cartdidge games that I got; yep...the Special Pikachu Edition of Pokemon.
Maaaaan!
When I got home & saw on-line what sealed copies of that Pikachu Edition were going for ==> gave the girl a big, ole Smooch-erino, took her out to a nice & romantic dinner -and- later on sold the sealed box (why not - I still had another copy of my own to play if I ever wanted to:) ==> and the rest of the profit more than funded my entire next year of garage/yards sales ;D

I love hearing stories like that, keeps me getting up & going to yard sales in the hope that I'll stumble across that super find. What did you end up selling the sealed one for, if you don't mind me asking?
-
Right around $250.
-
There's a store near by that has a bunch of sealed Wappy Dog(s?). I think they were asking 5-10 dollars. Think it's worth picking up? From a speculator's standpoint its kinda weird. It's pretty much shovelware with an unusual toy attached.
-
Why is it that I now feel compelled to add this Wappy Dog to the DS collection? ???
-
I picked up Brave for the DS sealed at a Value Village for 4$
-

-
Definitely Perfect Dark (N64) CIB and factory sealed... $0.01.
-
I got a copy of Jak & Daxter on PS2 for like 5 to 10 bucks I believe. Completely sealed. Being a favorite of mine, I think that's a nice deal. And to keep it sealed, gonna get the HD collection on PS3 eventually, so I can just play that version and keep the sealed copy :D
-
I bought the following Game Gear Games sealed for betwenn $1-$3 dollars. Depending on title. But I do forget the prices exactly.
Sports Trivia
Donald Duck Deep Duck Trouble
Caesars Palace
I also bought ESPN Hockey Night on Sega CD sealed for a couple of bucks.
-
Just beat my own record today with Eb games and a sealed Build-a-Bear Workshop: Friendship Valley on the Wii, which I got for 50 cents! It looks like a teddy bear-esque Animal Crossing, so for that price, I decided why not. :P
