I'd just look on ebay at what the going prices are for each title. You could always list it on ebay like "Castlevania Collection" at a price you'd want, then mention in the listing that you'd be willing to sell pieces of it for a reasonable prices if someone wants to PM you. Also the GBA games should all be region free.

[zangetsu468]

I've done a quick search around Ebay and have come up with the following, this is only provided that the gameboxes and manuals are with each game and in reasonable-very good condition. Bare in mind prices are approximate, based on what is currently listed and I'm not in the US so I've listed these in AUD and shipping internationally or otherwise I've not included:

CVC - 100 +
COTM - 50
HOD - 90 +
AOS - Over 130/140. (The issue is the Double Pack HOD/AOS which collectors may opt for instead; around 110 AUD)
DOS - 50 (Still Available new on Ebay for a bit less, but it's not easy to come by new)
DXC - 35
CV (GBA Classics) - Approx 100 +
POR - 30 (still available new for 39.95 from Gamesmen.com.au)
OOE - 25ish (Just bought one the other day New for 32 AUD delivered from Canada on Ebay)

As for the rest I'm not 100%, smash Ebay if in doubt.

The next thing is whether you want to make bank, whether or not it's hard for you to part with these games etc.
If you want top dollar I'd suggest going through Ebay or instagram to avoid paying commission.

Also if you're really just wanting to clear your collection out then it's probably no good selling anything to me as I generally find offers where shipping is minimal on Ebay (or other) and I don't live in the US or Canada.

Also I don't know you, but as a fellow Dungeonite I'll offer my advice, don't sell anything that's rare or worth a lot now. Because the market for collectibles is actually quite good but the economy is quite bad at the moment, I'd be inclined to keep your super-rare games for when people are actually hungry to collect and are collecting more competitively. For now people are just trying to pay the bills. Just friendly advice, take it or leave it.

Thanks for the advice guys. . If anyone is interested in something, PM me.

The music cds would fetch a good price now, but I'm sure they'll even be higher in the future. Hold on to them, maybe?

[Laina]

Holy shit, after browsing zangetsu's eBay trawling finds, I'm sitting on a small fortune in CV games apparently. Good to know. I wouldn't part with them to save my life mind you, but good to know.

Can you share the link?.

Haha, my thoughts exactly. Now I almost want to start collecting more before prices get even stupider down the road.

That's exactly why I purchased two copies of SCIV...

Effing Vampires Kiss - which I had - is selling for retarded amounts... Eeeee!!!

[TatteredSeraph]

I'd probably be interested in the SotN cd, depending on what you're looking for it. 

[theANdROId]

I have the SotN soundtrack, but I might be interested in the other soundtracks depending on what you would want for them.

Here's a question on topic of course, do Americans ever purchase PAL games?

As someone who is looking into game trading I'm curious to know if they're sought after.
For the record my country uses PAL but I've bought NTSC games in the past.

[JR]

I know I don't particularly. I could see someone getting PAL games to round out their collection, but realistically, the only time I'd really look for a PAL copy of something is if it wasn't released in the US, and it would be cheaper/easier than getting the Japanese version. (I did this with King of Demons, but even still, I think it was a reproduction cart and not an actual PAL copy)

...or if it came in exclusive packaging or something, like the first LoS did, with the mask and all. I forgot about that. (ordering that was a huge pain in the ass)
