The PS1, the debut of many mythical sagas
You couldn't get them from an online shop like PlayStation Store or Epic Games Store. The same goes for resale: this was done in a shop or at a flea market. We hope you've saved up a few games though, as they can be worth a lot of money. This cult PS1 title can sell for $20,000.
Silent Hill, a cult video game that can sell for $20,000
As the website Price Charting shows, a copy of the first Silent Hill released on the PS1 has sold for $20,000 on eBay. A sealed version of the game is in perfect condition, which explains its very high value. On Heritage Auctions, several copies of Silent Hill were sold for a few thousand dollars. As you can see, the game from the saga developed by Konami, for which we are desperately waiting for a new episode, can fetch a very good sum.
The monetary value of the PS1 title is matched only by its quality. Silent Hill was a real slap in the face when it came out. Its terrifying horror atmosphere, tortured characters, sublime soundtrack and legendary fog make it one of the benchmarks of horror. A word of advice, don't sell the first Silent Hill before you've finished it, or you'll be missing out on a memorable piece of work. The second instalment of the Silent Hill license is simply one of the best video games of all time.
