Even though the original Playstation is one of the most common
consoles of all time, there are many valuable PS1 treasures to be found.
Its diverse library is filled with RPGs and unique gems that collectors
long for. However, when we last surveyed the collectable PS1 market
in early 2008, original Playstation titles seemed to have peaked in
value. Three and a half years later, we have seen the most popular
games come back closer to reality (many games have dropped around 30% of
their value — 2008 values have been noted for each of the top entries).
Having some of the games become availible as inexpensive downloads on
PSN might have something to do with it, but this seems to be a more
widespread trend that covers non-PSN games as well. However, there
were three cult classics that did increase drastically over the same
span of time and have broken into our list.
These drastic changes in value prompted us to do a complete update so that our popular Rare & Valuable series can remain accurate and useful. In stark contrast to the Cheapest Games series, this series will round up the rarest and most valuable games for a given console or handheld so you’ll know what to look for whether you are buying or selling.
Below you will see two prices beside each title. The first is the average daily selling price, which is typically the going rate for the game by itself. The second price is the highest price in the past three months which is usually the price for the new/sealed game. The list is ordered by the balance of the two prices. Note that some of these games are not rare in the sense that there are not many available, but rare relative to demand, which makes the games expensive.
