I recently uncovered a sealed copy of parasite eve 2 from my collection. It's in great shape. Moderately valuable. Is it worth it to get it graded or just sell out right? Your opinions? Experiences? I certainly don't have a need to keep it.

The money and possible 6-12 month wait would not be worth it to me for a relatively common, B-list game. FF7 or MGS, sure. I don't think anyone's looking for a new PE2, and fewer people than that looking for graded copies.

If you're gonna grade it to sell don't think you'll see the added return you'd be looking for given the effort. Just sell it.

PE II used to be a somewhat pricey game sealed until the 3rd Birthday came out and well...didn't go over to well and now people lost interest in the series.

That's a shame.  I have the trilogy buy only played the original when it was released.  Obviously picking up on the horror genre that was popular at the time, but I enjoyed it regardless.  Hate to hear it isn't all that great.  I still plan to give PE2 a try one day though.

The 3rd Birthday isn't bad, it's just a different playstyle and people didn't like that.

Why not just skip the grading process and put it up for the price you want? Most sealed collectors will know the general value of what you're selling and the grading process doesn't necessarily attract more money from people who are already pretty knowledgeable.

With a game like this, it's Gold or bust. Since you're not familiar with grading, it's more likely to not be worth it.
