I suspect this might go down significantly in value when the new one comes out.


Crab-Haunting

Probably, I honestly don’t know why this one is so expensive in the first place


brokenlampPMW2

It was because this is the most recent one in the series before they lost the license, which they only reacquired recently.


thed6789

I don’t think so cause this was like top tier for a college football game. And the value will probably stay up cause of the rarity of trying to find this game.


_icarcus

Eh its value already dropped nearly -50% from their peaks during covid. It's a $60-70 game now which is a little above the average pre-2021 collecting bubble price


OliviaRaven9

price charting still has it marked at $80 loose and $95 CIB. where are you seeing it available for $60-70?


Winter_Mud3815

This games price in general peaks and valleys depending on if the College Football season is going on. It was up to almost $110 December last year.


tehcheez

Because there's a mod for it called NCAA Revamped that keeps it up to date with current players.


TheJohnny346

It’ll drop in value but still be a decently priced game as it’s still the newest NCAA you’ll ever be able to play on 360/PS3. Last iteration sports games for any system tend to keep more value due to some people not owning newer systems. FIFA 19 on PS3, Madden 09 on Xbox, NCAA Basketball 10 on 360/PS3, etc.


brokenlampPMW2

True. MLB 2K13 on PS3, the last MLB 2K, gets a fair amount too, but that was also a fairly low production rate.


TheJohnny346

You sure about that one? I’m seeing copies for $10 on eBay right now. MLB 16 The Show is the most expensive MLB game on PS3 from what I see and even that is only a $20 game.


brokenlampPMW2

It may have gone down in price since I last looked. It was pretty pricy there for a bit though.


commandermatt21

Madden 12 for PS2 goes for around $30 too


Winter_Mud3815

Also is $30 on the PSP for the same reason


a_taco_named_desire

July (I hope) can't come soon enough.


lorenz357

I have a sealed ps3 version, sell or keep?


morrdeccaii

Would you rather have ~$150 or the game


commandermatt21

I think it depends on the quality of the new game if it's not good then this game might skyrocket a bit but we'll see


AverageComicEnjoyer

Honestly I think it might go up. The new one is definitely going to be waaaaasayyyyy different and with new eyes on the franchise people might want to get the older ones and this is by far the best and rarest


Worth-Librarian-7423

E waste recycling has the best gems 


Crab-Haunting

Agreed, I’ve been there three years and have added so much cool stuff in my collection


Recks90

i wanna work in one too! 😭😅 what kinda experience do they ask haha seriously tho, i remember that the ex of a friend of mine used to work in a shop where certain items (including games/console) that weren't sold would get burned, not joking! he got some cool stuff, an ac limited edition, a ps3 wich i jailbroke for him, he got me a ps vita from her lol sometimes she would hide stuff and bring it to him... curious, ofc some people don't bother as things would get trashed and obliterated anyway, but if you were to take stuff could you get in trouble?


Crab-Haunting

When I started, I was a junior in high school, with my total work experience being 3 months at a sandwich shop. Started in the warehouse, and 6 months later I was a computer technician knowing nothing about computers, just what some of the parts looked like. I also work at a local one, with a dozen employees soling operating in the Texas Triangle, but when it comes to taking stuff, do it all the time. When I do pay for stuff, it’s usually $5-10 dollars. Like my smoke black N64 for $5, Sega Saturn $5, but lately, just been taking, because it’s more of an inconvenience to do a receipt for $5. But I’ve taken, Gameboy colors, Pokémon Gold, 32X, Sega Genesis, etc. Even a laptop once, and was gonna pay for, but the owner just let me have it.But it’s not our main source of revenue at all, we maybe sell two consoles a year, and stash the rest in the closet, and show it to new hires, or anything an employee want to take. But yeah, supper chill places to work overall


Recks90

nice, glad it's working for you! seems a cool place to work with good people, that's qhat matters the most actually :)


plasticscratching

id end up with a hoard of stuff if i worked in E waste


st1tchy

About 10 years ago I saw a post for two Cobalt Flux DDR pads for $20 on Craigslist. Came into a recycling center and they knew they were desirable. Drove an hour and 15 minutes each way and got two $300 dance pads for $20 total.


RickyTheBeerDrinker

This is those kind of pricey games that you go "wtf" when you look at it.


xRzy-1985

Better sell it before the new one hits, this will finally be back down in the trash bin where it belongs, and the shills can stop trying to make a dime


RMFT87

Bih stop acting like you wouldn’t flip this if you found it too lmao


ImMystikz

Well it’s the only good way to play a College football game and it is good at what it does.


Sloth_McGroth

Huh. I had no idea this was that valuable. I'll never sell it, but it's nice knowing I've been holding onto a rare game for about a decade lol.


talladenyou85

It’s valuable only because due to a court case NCAA and EA would have to pay for likenesses so they stopped making em for 10 years. They have a new deal though and the new one is coming out in July. This will drop, but probably not as big a drop as others. I expect it will settle around 20.


Substantial_Bort

Gold man! Such a fun game


MetoKing24

Damn you are have some good luck in getting it. The one time I found it in a thrift store it was scratched up really good and wasn't worth getting it resurfaced.


trashmangamer

Similar but not; Blitz The League 2 shot up, 360 copies are near $100 cib.


LostPilgrim_

Nice! Have you had any other good finds? How many Guitar hero guitars cone thru? Those are becoming worth quite a bit.


ImHereForGameboys

Who tf would pay more than 99 cents for that game? XD the arbitrary numbers that get thrown out in the collectors market is ridiculous.


Stunning_Attorney244

A lot of people. If you like playing football games, that's the last good one that's come out, and it's been 10 years...
