First, sealed copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga (saturn) and Marvel vs Capcom 2 (ps2) are on ebay as of today, and fetching high prices. A grey metroid NES sold for $800 with buy-it-now (there is one guy paying top prices for a few recently, including that one). Lastly, if there is one game, sealed, that could demand more money than Chrono Trigger (out of standard US console games) it could be Earthbound. I haven't seen one though, maybe someone else has.

The only real way to find out it to put it up on eBay. Just make sure you advertise the sealed factor well and take lots of good pictures.

Personally don't like sealed games but have around 3 or 4 of them, and I have backup of those to be able to play them. Games are meant to be played. If you are not gonna open them at least buy an open one so you can play! what is a sealed night into dreams regular cd size jewel case be worth? the one that came with the controller, I bought mine for $20 but never opened it because I already had a backup.

I've actually been trying to find the original player's guide and box for earthbound; I was hoping I could sell the game as complete and purchase a copy of EB that was in better condition. I couldn't actually find the box, but the player's guide sells for no less than $60! I've seen NES boxes and instruction manuals for rare games sell for a lot less.

You can't dispute that. How can they not be accurate when I link right to an eBay auction where they actually paid that much? You can’t dispute that.
